I need to input my e-mail address into like hundreds of documents per day sometimes... various documents .doc .txt .xml web...
Any ideas ?
Something that holds my email then hit a key and pates .

I'm not good on hotstrings, but I know you can do it that way, otherwise as a hotkey:

And don't forget to add a return at the end of each of those examples; otherwise, each subroutine will continue on to execute whatever comes after it.

[Bob]

what do you mean by return ?

[Chris]

A return is needed to finish any subroutine that isn't a single-line.

Single line examples:

::me@::jsmith@somedomain.com ; Auto-replace me@ with an e-mail address as you type.

#z::Send, jsmith@somedomain.com ; Win-Z, a single-line hotkey.

But these are multi-line and thus each requires a return at the end:
#z::
WinActivate, SomeWindow
Send, jsmith@somedomain.com
return

::me@::
MsgBox You typed me@
return

Ok thanks for the info .

[Bob]

It's funny this one I did and had to add an extra letter in the front to work ?
#z::Send, jjsmith@somedomain.com ; Win-Z, a single-line hotkey.
Or it would leave off the first letter .

Have a few friends that want to use this how would you have a input box so they could us their own email address with out me hard coding it in ?

[Bob]

Thanks Chris for all the help . I have this and it works but it is still leaving off the first letter to the emal address ?

[Chris]

I see the problem now. Since you're using an Alt hotkey, you run into the issue described in the FAQ. The following is the workaround:

!z::Send,{AltUp}{Alt}%OutputVar%
