AutoHotkey Community

Version 0.9 was written in an earlier AHK version. The latest version (1.2) should work with the last AHK version. Do you have AHK 1.0.48.05? Did you add anything to Monster, or modified it?

I do use Autohotkey 1.0.48.05
and I does not add anything to version 1.2

I just copy all the code, and run it.

But it always give an answer of -1.

Thank you very much.

Maybe your application does not copy ASCII text to the clipboard. Try the script in Notepad or MS Word. If it is the case, a check for the foreground application and text conversion is necessary. (To see if it is the problem add a line "MsgBox %ClipBoard%" after the "ClipWait 0.5" line - it should show "1+2".) It is also possible that your application is too slow to set the clipboard. In this case increase the time limit, to something like "ClipWait 3.0".

laszlo， thank you for your reply...

I do as your advise.

But I find that in my PC, this line is strange


it return nothing when I just like select "1+2" to test

just like this following code cant get the right answer, the %test%, %y1% and %y3% are all empty.

I am not sure whether my AUTOHOTKEY version is right, but in the HELP file it says that it is 1.0.48.05

I assume that you get the right string in ClipBoard ("1+2"), so the problem is not another AHK script or a clipboard manager.

You could test directly the expression evaluation with adding a line to the top of the script
MsgBox % Eval("1+2")

If it does not show 3, then there could be problems with AHK. You have to uninstall it then do a fresh install from the AHK main website.

Thank you, laszlo, thank you for your answered my questions patiently.

But when I MsgBox % Eval("1+2") directly in Autohotkey 1.0.48.05, it also get the wrong results.

Maybe something get wrong in my PC, let me try it carefully.

Thank you very much.
