Hello,

This script works great with Loop Read File but when I switch to Loop Parse Clipboard, no luck. For One Key Testing I programmed the Right Ctrl key to save, reload and launch script :-) I'm also using DebugView instead of Msgbox. Just get it, launch it, and it will scroll any OutputDebug comment in your script :-) <!-- m -->http://technet.micro... ... 96647.aspx<!-- m -->

Here is the substantive part of the Loop Read Version:

F1= C:\temp\urls\url_input.txt
F2= C:\temp\urls\url_output.txt
Filedelete,%F2%
A=http://
T=
Loop,Read, %F1%

The Loop Parse Clipboard Version is the same except it uses the clipboard and Loop Parse. Why is Loop, Parse, Clipboard, not passing data to the loop in the same way as Loop, Read, does? Thank you!

1. You have to tell it what delimeter you are using to parse (`n to parse every line).

2. Everywhere you used A_LoopReadLine, you would replace it with A_LoopField, and considering you used Parses within the same thread, you might want to append the value of the first A_LoopField to another variable because its value will be lost upon the 2nd parse.

3. When parsing, you may want to use a different variable than the clipboard to apply the links to at the beginning of your paste, unless your reasoning determines otherwise.

Hi Dylan. I had already tested many variations of delimiters including your suggestion, prior to posting here. None worked and since all the parsing seems to be written into the body of the loop further down, where %A% is the delimiter, I presumed the working prototype by Laszlo had it right:
http://www.autohotke...pic.php?p=68856 It's the Script near bottom posted by Garry, originally from Laszlo.

I've attached a self contained version that writes links to a file and then feeds this file to Line 47. Works great. I want to only change Line 47, which has no delimiter because the body of the Loop does that work using the variable %A% as the delimiter.

If Laszlo's script works wonderfully as is using data from a file, there must be some way to use the exact same loop body, only fed with clipboard data in the form of "Loop, Parse, Clipboard".

Why not?

THANKS DYLAN!!! For some reason, when I first tried your suggestions, some oversight on my part kept my script from working. With careful use of DebugView, and about 4 hours (sad I know) I got it working THANKS TO YOU. You helped me understand that Loop, Read has an automatic line parsing function built in, whereas Loop, Parse, Variable - does not. Initially I thought, except for differences in data source, they functioned the same. I was soooo wrong :-)

On losing the data in the 2nd parse, I haven't had that problem.

Thank you very much!

Hi Dylan,

Oh...okay...I haven't come up to speed on the protocols here yet. I'll do that right now.

Thank you again. I think this, and the Cockos Reaper DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) forum are the two most civilized and helpful forums on the planet. AutoHotKey has truly helped me to avoid Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. It's such a HUGE BLESSING. Thank you and Christ and Polythene, et al. for this wonderful asset :-)
