I'd like to be able to copy some text (Without the " - " symbol ) off a web page or from a text file, then have it sent automatically to another open program's search field, then have the "search" button automatically clicked. It would be nice if after those steps I was then sent back to the opened web page or text file. Is this doable with AHK?



I think I have the script for the first part figured out below, I just need some tips to combine with the above. thanks!

active := true
return

PAUSE::active := !active ; toggle

OnClipboardChange:
if active
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, -, , all
return

There's also something seriously wrong with your spelling and grammar, but you don't see me recommending a dictionary or a 3rd grade teacher. I was simply asking if what I wrote in the above paragrah was "Possible" with AHK.

@ purloined heart, thanks that was helpful.

This thread is exactly what I'm trying to do. In the "fill in the blank" as suggested above I tried putting slsk.exe :

OnClipboardChange:
IfWinActive slsk.exe ;Window title
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, , , all
return

Can someone give a tip to an ahk noob? thanks

A window title is needed not the process name.Can you check if the title of the window is really slsk.exe?


I would try Aaffe's code that seems a solution.

If needed you can use SetTitleMatchMode 2 to make a partial windowtitle match work.( see helpfile for settitlematchmode )

thanks yume and aaffe
searching forum for how to find specific wintitle (you're right slsk.exe is the process) isn't giving me much.. . Can anyone give me a pointer on how to figure that out? thanks

Window title is the text you see as title of the window on your screen.If you open Notepad,the window title displayed is Untitled-Notepad.

This small program will give you the window title of the active window on your screen as tooltip in real time.Just to give an idea

#Persistent
SetTimer, WatchActiveWindow, 1000
return
WatchActiveWindow:
WinGetTitle, title,A
ToolTip, %title%
return

I had to replace text by clipboard to make it Aaffe code work.You highlight the text in the first application ,then you activate the hotkey win+t ,the program will activate the destination window and paste the modified clipboard in it.(the second program must be running!)

#t::
  IfWinActive,<Title>
  Send, ^c
  Stringreplace,clipboard,clipboard,-,,all
  WinActivate,<Second Window-Title>
  Send,^v

The program I want to send text "from" is mozilla firefox, and I'd like to be able to send from various pages but the wintitle is different for each website. Do I need to have a specific script for each website? Or can the wintitle just be "mozilla firefox (build 20090824101458)" ??

Hi Bounce 2

I was still changing the post i made earlier because i tried it and it did not worked.

The windowtitle should be shown as a tooltip attached to the mousepointer ,i just tried it again and it seemed to work on XP......

I had to replace text with clipboard in Aaffe's code.You can see in my earlier post the new code.

You can set as first line:

SetTitleMatchMode 2

Then if the title contains part of the title you give in the code there will be a match.So you can use Mozilla Firefox as title ( i guess it will be on every webpage in the title)

SetTitleMatchMode 2

#t::
  IfWinActive,<Title>
  Send, ^c
  Stringreplace,clipboard,clipboard,-,,all
  WinActivate,<Second Window-Title>
  Send,^v

Hi I got your wintitle script working

I"m still not able to get the copied text to send from firefox to soulseek. Here is what I replaced:

SetTitleMatchMode 2

#t::
IfWinActive,<Mozilla firefox>
Send, ^c
Stringreplace,clipboard,clipboard,-,,all
WinActivate,<Second Window-Soulseek [db123] - [File Search]>
Send,^v
REturn


db123 is a username (but not my real one )
Can you see anything I'm doing wrong there?
Does SetTitleMatchMode 2 affect the second window as well, could I just put soulseek instead of Soulseek [db123] - [File Search]

? thanks again
