Hello everyone,
Im currently working on a program, AcroLiminator, one of the requests, is an ability to add your own acronyms. I was wondering how this would be done, and also how I could add the option to delete the default acroynms? Thank you for any help you may provide.
Walt

P.S : If you want it I will post my code, but it is over 1000 lines long, so I figured I would wait til' someone requested it. Thanks again.

How are the existing acronyms stored ?

Id guess a good way is in an outboard file, like a .csv or otherwise delimited file. Perhaps line by line..
ACRONYM,meaning.
ACRONYM2, meaning2.
etc

That way you could easily retrieve the matching set, edit either value, sort etc etc. (in this ex the comma seperates the AC from the meaning, and the period seperates the sets)

Thank you for the response :) The currently acronyms are encoded in the program, heres an example of my code.

::btw::
expanded = by the way
MsgBox 4, AcroLiminator 0.1 Beta, Convert btw to %expanded% ?
ifMsgBox, yes
Send, %expanded%
else
Send, btw
return

I was thinking bout the possiblity of storing the acronyms in an .ini file or something along those lines, but I wouldn't know how to go about that. Thanks again for the response. :)

Take a look at these two scripts:
Advanced variables / hostrings loaded from an .ini file (the more up-to-date version is further down the page.)
RegEx Powered Dynamic Hotstrings

Here is a simple solution, using an ini-file

Code:
loop
{
   Input, UserInput, V, {enter}.{tab}{Space}
   IfInString, ErrorLevel, EndKey:
   {
         IniRead, OutputVar, abrev.ini, abreviation, %UserInput%
      if OutputVar != ERROR
      {
         StringSplit, EL_array, ErrorLevel, :
         loopcount := StrLen(UserInput)
         loop, %loopcount%
         {
            Send {BS}
         }
         Send {BS}%OutputVar%{%EL_array2%}        
      }
   }
}


The corresponding ini-File should be named "abrev.ini" and look like this
Code:
[abreviation]
abc=alpha beta gamma
rtfm=read the **** manual

Heres my code..
Code:
::btw::
expanded = by the way
MsgBox 4, AcroLiminator 0.1 Beta, Convert btw to %expanded% ?
ifMsgBox, yes
  Send, %expanded%
else
  Send, btw
return 


How would I go about having the message show verifying the user wants to convert the acronym to the word? At this time, the words inside the .ini that do not exist in the code, simply change without the verifcation. While as, my words existing in the code and the list, ask the message. Sorry for all the trouble.
Walt

I don´t really understand, what you you mean,
do you want this?

Code:
loop
{
   Input, UserInput, V, {enter}.{tab}{Space}
   IfInString, ErrorLevel, EndKey:
   {
      IniRead, OutputVar, abrev.ini, abreviation, %UserInput%
      if OutputVar != ERROR
      {
         MsgBox 4, AcroLiminator 0.1 Beta, Convert %Userinput% to %OutputVar% ?
         fMsgBox, yes
         {
            StringSplit, EL_array, ErrorLevel, :
            loopcount := StrLen(UserInput)
            loop, %loopcount%
            {
               Send {BS}
            }
            Send {BS}%OutputVar%{%EL_array2%}   
         }   
      }
   }
}

Thank you Z Gecko, I think that is what I want, but the following line of code brings upon an error.

Code:
Input, UserInput, V, {enter}.{tab}{Space}


Once again, sorry for all the trouble.
Walt :)
