When i use StringReplace to get rid of
comma's from a string in the Clipboard.

Like: This comma, should be removed

It output like: This comma&#44 should be removed.

The server which recieves this input from the Web form chokes on it,
with a server error in Internet explorer because it doesn't expect and accept html code.

code:

Code:
name:=iWeb_getDomObj(pwb,"name")
Clipboard:=name
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, `,,, ALL
Send, {CtrlDown}v{CtrlUp}


when i use:

Code:
Send, {CtrlDown}a{CtrlUp}{CtrlDown}c{CtrlUp}
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, `,,, ALL
Send, {CtrlDown}v{CtrlUp}


It removes the comma's just fine.

What is causing this?

PS: i need to use the Clipboard for this,
Because the Web Form in Iexplorer doesn't save the
iWeb_setDomObj

What is the contents of "name" - ie:
Code:
MsgBox, % name:=iWeb_getDomObj(pwb,"name")

I don't understand the web code but I wonder if another debugging tool would help.

Code:

name:=iWeb_getDomObj(pwb,"name")
listvars ; <---- this brings up a separate window showing program variables
msgbox before clipboard copy ; <--close the msgbox to continue the program
Clipboard:=name
listvars ; <--- this will update the previous windown shown by listvars.
msgbox after clipboard copy
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, `,,, ALL
Send, {CtrlDown}v{CtrlUp}

The content are random names of company's with comma's like:
Petrol, oil company

I just like to remove the comma, but the output result in :

Petrol&#44 oil company

iWeb_getDomObj has a built-in portion of its code that converts all commas to their character entity equivalent, which is &#44 ;. tank would be better fit to explain the rationale behind adding this functionality than I, but nonetheless that is why you're seeing that come up. Since AHK is (or should be) eating the semicolon once passed to the variable you'll want to use this to remove the 'comma':

Code:
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, &#44, , All
