I thought I gave as much info as needed, but I will admit, this probabl isn't a common use. Here is the majority of the code, I cut out a whole bunch of other string replaces that aren't relevent to the problem.
Code:
#include, functions.ahk
FileSelectFile, files1, , %openfile% ; here I am selecting a .pdf file
StringTrimRight, files2, files1, 3 ; here it takes the pdf off the end of the file name
files=%files2%txt ; it is replacing the pdf with txt so it can save it later using this name
if files =
{
MsgBox, The user pressed cancel.
return
}
Run, %files1% ; run the selected pdf file
sleep, 6000
msgbox, make sure PDF is open.
sleep, 1000
send, {click}
send, {alt down}fv{alt up}
sleep, 2000
clipboard=%files%
send, ^v
sleep, 200
send, {enter} ; all of that saves it as a text file. (i wish there were an easier way)
sleep, 3000
FileRead, filecont, %files% ; it is now reading the txt version of the originally selected pdf into the clipboard
clipboard = %filecont%
StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, `%, ```%, All ;here, it should find all % signes and replace them with `%
FileAppend, ; it now appends this information to a temporary library (the library includes nothing but variables produced by the txt file. a series of string replaces turns the text into variables for me)
(
%clipboard%
), %A_ScriptDir%\temp.ahk
FileRecycle, %files%
run, gc2.ahk ; this now runs a different script which contains the #include, temp.ahk
Return
StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, `%, ```%, All
FileAppend,
(
%clipboard%
), %A_ScriptDir%\temp.ahk
FileRecycle, %files%
run, gc2.ahk
Return
Now, the problem lies within the temp.ahk. Here is what happens, if the txt file contains a percent sign, and it gets saved as a variable in the temp.ahk then when i go to use the temp.ahk library, it gives me the error because of the percent sign.
Example:
Code:
var= the student got 100 % on his test.
if you have a library containing this variable, it wont let you run it, or include it because the % symbol is not escaped.
This is what it needs to look like:
Code:
var= the student got 100 `% on his test.
So, how do you get it from the clipboard as: 100% to the library that needs to be run later as: 100`% ?
I hope that makes more sense.
Thanks again for the help.
