 Posted: Sun Feb 04, 2007 5:59 pm Post subject: RegEx Powered Dynamic Hotstrings |
 |
|
Dynamically add regular expression type hotstrings.
Example:
| Code: | hotstrings("now#", "%A_Now%")
hotstrings("(B|b)tw", "%$1%y the way")
hotstrings("(\d+)\/(\d+)%", "percent") ; try 4/50%
Return
percent:
p := Round($1 / $2 * 100)
Send, %p%`%
Return |

Hmm, this seems interesting, but I can't get it to work.
I've pasted the function and examples into my autohotkey.ini file and reloaded it. I then expected that if I typed Btw in notepad it would be converted to By the way, and if I typed btw it would be converted to by the way. Am I totally missing the point? Does this script not effectively add regex support to hotstrings? |

It does, that was probably a bad example. Try hs("gr[ea]y", "{#}CCC") - it replaces 'grey' or 'gray' with its hex colour code.

I like the idea of the dynamic hotstrings and I like the idea of regular expressions in them. But, as other people have described, I'd like to find a way to make dynamic hotstrings that behave more like regular, default hotstrings in that they wait for an non-word character before firing the replacement text.
For example, when defined using the hs() function above, the "btw" entry will expand to "by the way" without waiting for a space or comma afterward. (Which makes it impossible to define multiple hotstrings that use the same root.)
For example, I'd "lb" to expand to "pound", but "lbrt" to expand to liberate, and I haven't figured out yet how to do that using the hs() function above.
(The reason I don't want to use the #Hostring directive or syntax is that I'd like these hotstrings to be dynamically created as part of a compiled script.)
Thanks,
T |

That is an important feature that's currently lacking. I've been meaning to update this script for a long time. I'll try work on it soon and release version 2.

Does that work for you? Because that doesn't get expanded at all for me. (FWIW, I also thought about using regular expressions to try to test for end-of-word characters, but couldn't get it to work.)

That would work if you typed something like 'btw.' or 'btw!', but these aren't nice solutions so I'll continue working on an update.

I didn't have a chance to try it. I also didn't have time to look up the regex, maybe \s was the right one?

|
|
Hi all,
I've been using this for a while now but have got stuck by one issue:
say i define an entry like this (I have this problem with other examples):
hs("ann(a|e)" , "Ann%$1%")
now this correctly changes:
anna -> Anna
anne -> Anne
however, spaces don't seem to be counted, so these are also incorrectly changed;
ann a -> aAnna
ann e -> aAnne
So it would seem that spaces are ignored by the regex matching? Am I right and can anybody tell me how to fix it?
Thanks |

Try this:
| Code: | hs(c, a = "") {
static d, b, q
global $
v = `n,€,~$,Numpad,BS,Space
StringSplit, v, v, `,
If !d {
Loop, 104
Hotkey, % Chr(42 * !!RegExMatch(t := Chr(32 + (x := A_Index))
, "[a-z]")) . v3 . (x > 94 ? v4 . x - 95 : t), _hs
Hotkey, %v3%%v5%, _hs
d := 1
}
If a
Return, !!b .= c . v2 . a . v1
If c = %v3%%v5%
Return, !!q := SubStr(q, 1, -1)
If c = %v3%%v6%
Return, !!q := SubStr(q, 1, -1)
If GetKeyState("Shift", "P") or GetKeyState("Capslock", "T")
StringUpper, c, c
Else StringLower, c, c
q .= SubStr(c, StrLen(v3) + !!InStr(c, v4) * StrLen(v4) + 1 + !!InStr(c, "*"))
Loop, Parse, b, %v1%
{
If (c := RegExMatch(q, SubStr(t := A_LoopField, 1
, InStr(t, v2) - 1) . "$", $)) and t {
f += RegExMatch(t, ".+" . v2 . "(.+)", l)
SendInput, % "{BS " . StrLen($) . "}"
Transform, l, Deref, %l1%
If IsLabel(l)
GoSub, %l%
Else SendInput, %l%
}
}
If f
q =
}
~$space::
_hs:
hs(A_ThisHotkey)
Return |

Thanks, that's perfect!
For others who may be interested, it's possible to exclude returns and tabs in a similar fashion:
| Code: | hs(c, a = "") {
static d, b, q
global $
v = `n,€,~$,Numpad,BS,Space,Tab,Return
StringSplit, v, v, `,
If !d {
Loop, 104
Hotkey, % Chr(42 * !!RegExMatch(t := Chr(32 + (x := A_Index))
, "[a-z]")) . v3 . (x > 94 ? v4 . x - 95 : t), _hs
Hotkey, %v3%%v5%, _hs
d := 1
}
If a
Return, !!b .= c . v2 . a . v1
If c = %v3%%v5%
Return, !!q := SubStr(q, 1, -1)
If c = %v3%%v6%
Return, !!q := SubStr(q, 1, -1)
If c = %v3%%v7%
Return, !!q := SubStr(q, 1, -1)
If c = %v3%%v8%
Return, !!q := SubStr(q, 1, -1)
If GetKeyState("Shift", "P") or GetKeyState("Capslock", "T")
StringUpper, c, c
Else StringLower, c, c
q .= SubStr(c, StrLen(v3) + !!InStr(c, v4) * StrLen(v4) + 1 + !!InStr(c, "*"))
Loop, Parse, b, %v1%
{
If (c := RegExMatch(q, SubStr(t := A_LoopField, 1
, InStr(t, v2) - 1) . "$", $)) and t {
f += RegExMatch(t, ".+" . v2 . "(.+)", l)
SendInput, % "{BS " . StrLen($) . "}"
Transform, l, Deref, %l1%
If IsLabel(l)
GoSub, %l%
Else SendInput, %l%
}
}
If f
q =
}
~$space::
~$return::
~$tab::
_hs:
hs(A_ThisHotkey)
