What a fantastic idea! Has it gotten much traffic yet?

Room for another?
(Same name as here.)

So this is strange. I uncommented the msgbox and it works perfectly. Each to a new line. I remove the message box completely, and it works great. It screwed up with the commented message box in there. I can even repeat by putting the commented out message box back. Just find that strange. That works...

Ok, I had made a mistake with the append code. I forgot to copy the list. It works great!
Is there any way to have each name in a new line?

Thanks all! I mean that!

But the code with the message box worked perfectly!

Code: Select all

X:=1
while (X := RegExMatch(Clipboard, "(@\w*)", M, X+StrLen(M)))
   {
   ; MsgBox % M1
	FileAppend, %M1%`n, Test.txt
	}

I just tried it. It placed a single @ char in the text file.

I have spent a number of hours learning as much as I can about AHK. I must admit, this is unlike any language I have ever used before. I am beginning to wonder if what I want to do is even possible in this language. I know that I could do this if I knew anything about writing browser addons, but sad...

Because I only want a list of the @names. Nothing more. Right now, that means a LOT of copy/paste activity.

I do have an idea as to how this could be accomplished logically, but still not sure how I could implement it in AHK. Use browser find to highlight something starting with @. Detect and highlight all characters in the word. Copy to clipboard. Output to text. Thats the idea written in logic form. Tho...

Ah, sorry.
Thanks to the creators of the script!

Thanks for your response. The main thing that I wanted to do I have solved, but it probably would not hurt for others using the software if it appends all commands to the end of its own file, or even a new on that can be included at will. Seems like the next logical step to me. Anyway, I digress. Gr...

Hi all. I must confess that I would not even know where to begin on this, so any tips are welcome. The idea is simple. I want to go down my list of followers on twitter, then copy each of their @Names to text file, one per line. I attempted to do this in other languages and found it impossible. Any ...

Ok, so I just tested it. Sorry, I had no idea that the above was the difference.
Thank you for your reply.

So that is what the script is using? I was thinking that it was exporting as functions because it does not require you to press the space bar to auto replace as ::lol::laugh out loud does.

This is a nice tool. Any chance you could get it to output to an ahk file so that the set keys can be saved?
P.S. I am very new to AHK. Loving the simplicity.
