 Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2010 12:22 am Post subject: How to stop sort inserting empty lines? |
 |
|
I have the following code:
| Code: | #!down::
clipboard =
Send, ^c
clipwait
sortlist := clipboard
Sort, sortlist
send, %sortlist%
return
I tested this in metapad and notepad++. It sorted a list of words (each word on a different line) but it added in an extra line after each word. What have I done wrong? How can I sort a list of words without adding an extra line of space between each word?
Thanks,
GP |

This seems to fix the problem.
| Code: | #!down::
clipboard =
Send, ^c
clipwait
sortlist := clipboard
Sort, sortlist
Loop, parse, sortlsist, `n
send % A_Loopfield

Thanks, adding the StringReplace works though I don't get why it should be necessary. Is there any way to make the whole script faster? Right now it's as if each word is pasted individually so an 80 word list takes around 10 seconds to process.

Use SendInput instead of Send. Read about the difference in the help file! |

Text in the clipboard may not paste correctly without the full CRLFs. The 'sort' command uses the newline character as the default delimiter, hence the removal of the carriage returns before the sort.

Why bother? | Quote: | | Dx: Specifies x as the delimiter character, which determines where each item in VarName begins and ends. If this option is not present, x defaults to linefeed (`n), which correctly sorts VarName if its lines end in either LF (`n) or CR+LF (`r`n). |
Or am I missing something here?

I didn't know that about Sort. I should have said that the issue was with Send, which replaces both CR and LF with an enter stroke, thus producing extra lines.
| Code: | #!down::
clipboard =
Send, ^c
clipwait
Sort, clipboard
send, ^v ; paste
return |
