ok first heres my script im having trouble with...

FormatTime, TimeString, , ss
StringTrimLeft, End, TimeString,1
StringReplace,Endnew,End,0,Random Text two
StringReplace,Endnew,End,1,Random Text one
StringReplace,Endnew,End,2,Random Text two
StringReplace,Endnew,End,3,Random Text three
StringReplace,Endnew,End,4,Random Text four
StringReplace,Endnew,End,5,Random Text five
StringReplace,Endnew,End,6,Random Text six
StringReplace,Endnew,End,7,Random Text seven
StringReplace,Endnew,End,8,Random Text eight
StringReplace,Endnew,End,9,Random Text nine
msgbox %Endnew%
return

i thought this text should generate the time in seconds ie "35" then trim it to last digit ie "5" then should replace 5 with... "Random Text five"

but it doesnt.. does anyone know why? i have made this using help file so have looked there!

any help greaty appritiated!!

thanks. Ralph!

you need to make the Input variable and output the same.... i think

yr well clever thanks, why do they put 2 fields if they have to be the same tho?mow well who cares it works!!

thanks again

usually you would make 2 separate variables, but in your case, you have multiple stringreplace's. So after the first one,

StringReplace,Endnew,End,0,Random Text two,

Your new input variable for the next stringreplace should be the output of your previous stringreplace. Make sense?

So in other words, you could have done it like this:

yeah i think i get it... (i thought i was clever till i started using ahk)

thank an i got another question now just posing it!
