 |

Ok so I'm all busy as a bee coding out a script when all of a sudden I run into a brick wall *thud* Here is my code snippet then an explaination...
| Code: | Send, {tab 2}
clipboard =
ClipWait, 5
Send, ^x
DBN = %clipboard% * 2
Send, %DBN%
MouseMove, 222, 108, 30 |
Basically what I'm doing is creating a script to help out my niece with her math homework.. kinda like a math tutor. AAAAAAAANYWHO.. I have it so it automatically tabs over twice to the input box with a number already in it.. lets say.. 100 (easy numbers YAY!) it then cuts the number out and multiplys it by two.. or so I thought. The DBN (DouBle Number) var isn't effectively multiplying the 100 (or other variable number) in the box but rather just cutting it and not replacing it with the answer of 200..
So long story short I just want to take the numbers off the clipboard and multiply them by two (well its going to be more but to multiply it by one it wont lemme know if i'm doing it right lol) If any of all that made sense (its like 436am) to one of y'all out there could I get a little help? 
Thnx!

Should be using an expression: | Code: | | DBN := Clipboard * 2 |
