Incrementing variable names? Topic is solved

I'm trying to find the simplest way to change which variable is being used based on input. I use variables to paste blocks of text including line breaks and I need to change which one is swapped out. I'd like to use a CountVar to find TextTemplateN and call the correct variable based on the number o...

Parsing a string

Is there any way to take a string and find a variable, then parse something immediately after that variable? I have pieces of information that will always appear in the string i.e. "DOB" followed by a line break and the data I need to parse. This is always in a different location so I need to find t...

Re: Keep right click from doing anything Topic is solved

Great, when you say bottom of my script does that matter whether it's inside the hotkey or loop or can it be anywhere in the ahk file? Never used context sensitive hotkeys before Put the following lines at the bottom of your script: #If InLoop RButton:: return #If At the start of the loop, add this:...

Keep right click from doing anything Topic is solved

I have a script that runs on loop with macros controlled by my mouse, and mouse movement is off while looping. I run into a constant problem where I'm accidentally right clicking because the way my hand rests, and it screws up the script. Is there a way that I can prevent right click from being sent...

Great thank you, the quotes make it more readable in Notepad++ anyway.

Associative Array with variable as key - beginner question Topic is solved

I'm new to associative arrays/objects, I'm trying to use a variable to lookup the key in the array. I'm expecting the MsgBox to return either Y or N (or a number in the future) based on the user input of a two letter state abbreviation. This is returning blank right now: StatesArray := {AL: N, AR: N...

Great I'll check the forums for the invalid class string when using the excel handle.

Go to next empty row (Excel/Sheets)

Hi, I'm using this code right now to go to the next empty cell in the column then go home to the first cell and fill out a new row. This is in an xlsx file in Google Sheets but if you have an Excel based solution I'll switch. It just takes too long at a second per 10 rows if I'm dealing with thousan...

Re: Totally stuck... Clipboard and Variable problem Topic is solved

Great! I used your approach of keeping the clipboard clear and storing everything in variables, used Send %Variable% instead of pasting ^v, and used: While !Clipboard { ClipWait, 2 Send ^c } to ensure the clipboard fills before moving on. I have an emergency exitapp. Clipboard := Click %NameX%, %Nam...

Re: Macro to disable mouse movement? Topic is solved

Perfect I wasn't finding this by searching at all. I added MouseMoveOff at each point the loop would be broken. Beautiful solution.

This blocks mouse movement:
BlockInput, MouseMove

Make sure your script has the ability to turn it off and/or exit the script with a hotkey or something.
