it's supposed to be simple but i want it to be error proof.

what i want to do is copy an entire webpage and paste it into notepad and repeat.

i have:
Code:
^`::
Send {Ctrl Down}a
Sleep 30
Send {Ctrl Up}
Sleep 30
Send {Ctrl Down}c
Sleep 30
Send {Ctrl Up}
Sleep 30
Send {Alt Down}{Tab}
Sleep 30
Send {Alt Up}
Sleep 30
Send {Down 2}
Sleep 30
Send {Ctrl Down}v
Sleep 30
Send {Ctrl Up}
Sleep 30
Send {Alt Down}{Tab}
Sleep 30
Send {Alt Up}
Sleep 30
Send {Ctrl Down}{Tab}
Sleep 30
Send {Ctrl Up}


however, ive noticed a couple of errors. sometimes it doesn't copy/paste the right thing. it fails to copy the new page. the end result is a duplicate. how to do fix this to ensure there are no duplicates or missing pages?

thank you in advance.

the {Alt Down}{Tab} switches too fast?
either sleep increase value
or WinWaitActive

or just use append after copy

why not use the 'view source' option to get the code and then copy from there.

Code:
#persistent
space::
WinGetTitle, myTitle, A
If myTitle contains Internet Explorer, Firefox
   Send,{APPSKEY}v ; send a rightclick and select the view source option (starts with the letter v)
If myTitle contains Opera   
   Send,{APPSKEY}u ; send a rightclick and select the view source option (starts with the letter u)

The above is a hotkey that is started by pressing the spacebar. It should at least get you started.

What about using UrlDownloadToFile?

Code:
UrlDownLoadToFile, [insert name of url here], File.txt


(you don't need the square brackets when you change the url name)

This will scan the url you set and download all the content to File.txt.

It will have all the HTML tags in it but there are many ways of getting rid of that using RegEx. Just have a search on the forum for HTML and RegEx

It has the benefit that it doesn't need to open a browser so will be much quicker and more reliable as it doesn't go bad if the webpage layout changes

- Use WinActivate instead of the alt-tab, will be more reliable
- clear the clipboard between copy/paste
- use clipwait to wait for the clipboard to have contents before you proceed with pasting in notepad

Alternatively, use ControlSend to paste so you don't have to switch to the notepad window at all, search the forum for controlsend notepad and you will find various scripts.

You can use stringreplace. ^p in Word is newline, in ahk it is `r`n or simply `n see the examples on the stringreplace doc. Note it is ` (backtic) not a '

Edit: you can use the clipboard in stringreplace, so you can modify the clipboard contents with stringreplace BEFORE you paste the text in another program

ok nevermind i figured it out. i was looking for {^}p

i also want ` to be replaced but i tried both ` and {`} and neither worked.

Code:
 Send {`}
Sleep 30
 Send {Tab}
Sleep 30
 Send {Delete}
Sleep 30
 Send {Alt Down}a
Sleep 30
 Send {Alt Up}
Sleep 30
 Send {Space}

If you are going to just delete the backticks you would do this:

Code:
StringReplace, URLvar, URLvar, ``, , All
; or StringReplace, URLvar, URLvar, % Chr(96), , All

all i want to do here is to have the key type in ` and nothing into the two boxes in word's text replace.
Code:
`::
 Send {Ctrl Down}h
Sleep 30
 Send {Ctrl Up}
Sleep 30
 Send {`}
Sleep 30
 Send {Tab}
Sleep 30
 Send {Delete}
Sleep 30
 Send {Alt Down}a
Sleep 30
 Send {Alt Up}
Sleep 30
 Send {Space}
 Send http
[b]etc[/b]

with sinkfaze's solution, it suppose to work
show us a not working situation in the following format:
Code:
text = abc`123
msgbox, % text
text = abc``123
msgbox, % text
StringReplace, text, text, ``, , All
msgbox, % text
