Hi,
I receive a folder path in a hotkey script from a filemanager.
I check the value at the first line:
MsgBox, %1%

The value is D:\util\xint as expected. For some reason Hotkey doesn't like that string, in the script's second line:
MyVar := %1%

Error ! "The following variable contains illegar characters: D:\util\sink". WTF ???
Same result if I try to use the value in functions such as SubStr or StringLeft.

Any suggestions please ?

Sorry, solved !

Changing MyVar:= %1% to MyVar = %1% does the trick. Seems like I'm very confused with hotkey sintax for vars

Introduction to Variables might help there.
