 |

Is it possible to have a hotstring call an autohotkey function?
(how would this be coded?)
Thank you. |

in general, yes - what do you want it to call?

Here's a simple example:
| Code: | :*:test::
DoMsg("This is a test.")
return
DoMsg(Input)
{
MsgBox %Input%
} |
Or maybe you didn't really mean a function in the technical sense. In that case you just put whatever code you want in place of DoMsg("This is a test.") and omit the second part. |

| Thank you. I have it working now. I was trying to call a user defined function. My string was being expanded, but the UDF not being called. I believe it was because the call was on the same line as the hotstring. |

That is correct, you can't have an autoreplace hotstring AND a function called.
