Thank you, but the revised script still yields the same result: it runs only once, when I follow the steps so that the Information window will appear again, the script doesn't run a second time.

Hello, I have a script without a hotkey that waits for a window and then performs a series of steps. The problem I'm having is that I can't get it to reset and wait for the window again, so it only runs once. How can I get it to keep running so the steps will be executed whenever the window appears?...

Hello, I have the following script: Loop { WinWait,Add Supported Language Pairs Send {Esc 2} WinWait,Information WinGetText, text Send {Esc} RegExMatch(text,"(?<=').*(?=')",TMname) ;Sleep 100 Send !u ;Sleep 100 Send {Down 6}{Enter} ;Sleep 100 Send %TMname% ;Sleep 100 Send {Enter} ;Sleep 100 WinWait,...

there are no images Mmmm, I thought I had attached them with the Attachments option, but I see now they weren't attached. I'm trying to figure out how to upload the images in the forum, but get messages saying that my png files are not supported and when I try to attach a zip file, it says the temp...

I have a Notepad window always on top of another program where the active text area has a blue background. The active text area moves up and down the screen as you work, and I would like for the bottom of the Notepad window to always be just above the blue area, is that possible? I've attached a cou...

Thank you! That worked perfectly.

Thank you, Sendmode Input already appears at the top of my script file.

Thank you! Unfortunately, using this code doesn't send the variable to Notepad at all. I'm wondering, can one do a "Ctrl+V" with ControlSend? I can't seem to make it work. Also, is ControlSend the only option to send a variable to an app that doesn't have focus? Regarding question 2, sorry if I wasn...

ndiaz

Hello, I was hoping to get help with two questions. Question 1 I've created a very basic script to send a variable to Notepad without giving Notepad focus. The script is working fine, but the text is typed out one letter at a time (I'm using ControlSend) and I would like to have it all appear at onc...

Thank you jeeswg!

Sometimes you can do a replacement that you know will correct some things incorrectly, but follow that with a replacement that fixes the wrong corrections. However, since I've been using RegEx, I tend not to need to do that. Cheers. Good point! That happens all the time when doing Spanish replaceme...

ndiaz

Thank you for the additional code for the Regex replacement and thank you for the advice regarding the replacement of saved files, I think I'll stay away from that. The potential for creating a mess outweighs the benefits of saving kestrokes in my use case. Thank you again for your incredible patien...

It seems that I've managed to add a step that solves the problem. The program has a "Delete to Next Tag" shortcut, so instead of doing a Select All+Copy, I'm doing a "Delete to Next Tag-Undo (which leaves the text selected)-Copy". This works well also in segments with no tags. The only difference is...

ndiaz

Certainly! I created a simple document with some tags that looks like this: hw tags.png In Notepad++, the relevant part of the file looks like this: <target><g id="2"><mrk mtype="seg" mid="1">Hello <g id="5">World</g><g id="8">!</g></mrk></g></target> And the Clipboard Viewer shows the plain text un...

Thank you for confirming that it wouldn't be an easy fix jeeswg. Just to provide some context, I'm a freelance translator and this is a CAT (computer assisted translation) program widely used in the translation industry. I like your second point. The program does have a Find/Replace dialog, and that...

PS Please ignore the incorrectly removed space before the word "organization", that's due to my mistake in leaving an extra space in the script before the word "organisation".

ndiaz

Thank you for taking the time to explain that jeeswg. I have now added your code to my very basic script to test in my actual use case, for now manually adding some of the replacements that I need to make while I learn about continuations. I now have this: #r:: ClipSaved := ClipboardAll Clipboard = ...

1. Is there a way to automatically get the script to go and check my Excel list and take all the replacements from there? This would allow me to grow the Excel list without having to worry about the script. Let's guess, yes. Being a semi-noob I'd save that file in CSV-format bc AHK offers several c...

ndiaz

Thank you jeeswg! I just tested your code and it works great. That is a huge help, and certainly something that is lightyears beyond my current skills. I will read up on continuation sections for sure. I also need to learn the difference between StringReplace and StrReplace, have added that to my li...

ndiaz

Hello, I need to do the following: 1. Select text and send it to the clipboard 2. Run a multiple replacement operation on this text 3. Paste the modified text back onto my program As an example, let's say that I have the following text: The organisation takes 5 / 6 hours to respond to each request. ...
