Hi, I've been using AHK and this community for quite some time and am asking for a bit of help.

Here's my problem; I have a string, and I want to add to that string. The string starts out as "a", and is supposed to add _Blue, _Green, _Red, _Yellow sequentially to the string(So it would eventually read, "_Blue_Blue_Red_Yellow_red" or something similar), but it's not working

Here's the code



FYI, Seq is supposed to be the string, and the "Seq += _Yellow" wtc, are where I want to add the words infront of the string.

I've spent a couple of hours going through the manual, and there's virtually nothing on handling strings. Thanks in advance.

Hope that's what you are looking for

I'm going to try this one out, but a little help as to what it does?

nice edit there, i was just going to correct you PurloinedHeart

the .= means that the following will be added to the var, instead of replacing it

Ahh, thanks. I just added it into my script and it's working beautifully, thanks much, problem solved

What, did you not find the help file? It is there so you do not have to ask these kind of questions.
Look at topic Variables and Expressions. If you had read that, you would not have had to ask the first question.

Sorry, I had read that and and did not understand it to be applicable to my situation, because I misread terminology etc. I read all of the help files including the word string in them, I guess it was just an error through my incompetence. Again, sorry

To be fair, there is an awful lot of information in that expression operators table; and I doubt anyone would grasp all of it in one reading. There is no need to apologize, that's what the help forum is here for. It was an honest question.
