Excellent, thank you to both you guys. This is brand new territory for me, I've never come across this sort of problem before so I would have never got it. I've never had a need for text mode until today. As with every tip provided here on the forums, I always save the snippets of code that you guys...

oh thanks V0RT3X, just saw your reply now. Let me try that out and see how it goes.. gotta step out for an hour or so but I'll report back then

This is the code in a nutshell: Variable1:=PaintbrushTool- Variable2:=This Is The Text To Send - But(Will It Work!?) Variable3:=(Variable1 Variable2) Msgbox, %Variable3% controlfocus, Edit1, ahk_class OWL.Dock ;this is the edit box in the "Notes" panel in Photoshop Sleep, 1000 ;give time for the foc...

man, I don't know. Tried Send, SendInput, SendEvent and no dice. Saw that to send an ! mark there might be a requirement for it to be enclosed in curly brackets but the problem is, the ! is embedded in Variable2 so I don't know how to interrupt the pasting of Variable2 when it reaches the ! mark in ...

thanks mikey let me check it out

Hey again.. back with another complicated question that I can't figure out: I have three variables which are: Variable1 Variable2 Variable3 Variable1 contains MyTextToPaste- Variable2 contains This Is The Text To Send - But(Will It Work!?) Variable3 contains Variable1 and Variable2 side by side. I u...

Edit- ok great, it works perfectly now. The extra line is not being written. I would have never figured it out, so thanks again boiler

Thanks boiler, that works. Gives me something to work with here. Still can't get it going in my main project though, it's doing the same thing (adding an extra line at the bottom) for some reason. I'll take a closer look and then report back to this topic

Somewhat related to the previous topic, this code reads a .txt file from the hard drive, reverses its contents, and then writes the amended data back to the hard drive again (it creates a new file, it doesn't overwrite the original). The original file (MyTest1.txt) looks like: one two three four fiv...

Found a simple solution on the forums. fileread, str, C:\MyTestFile.txt s:=StringReverse(str, "`n") msgbox, %s% Return StringReverse(str, Separator="", OmitChars="") { Loop,Parse,% StrReplace(str,Separator,(BS:=chr(8))),%BS%,%OmitChars% i := A_LoopField (a_index=1 ? "" : BS i) Return StrReplace(i, B...

So here I am working on this code some more (a little project I have going) and I've come to realise that I'd like to reverse the contents of "str" immediately after it's loaded in from the file. So in other words the text file would be upside down (or find a way to make "str" upside down, if that m...

Perfect, thanks a lot!! Your help is much appreciated. I actually tried that syntax but I forgot to include the brackets so it didn't work. Oh well lesson learned. I'll keep this topic going if I come across any other issues with the code.

wow, this is awesome. It works perfectly! I'm going to keep working with this and develop it more into my code. Curious, how would I pop up a messagebox when it hits either boundary ("one" or "ten"), something like, msgbox Upper Limit Reached! or msgbox, Lower Limit Reached! I'm guessing it has some...

actually I think I got it: fileread, str, C:\MyTest.txt line := StrSplit(str, "`n", "`r") n := 0, line := StrSplit(str, "`n", "`r") WheelUp:: ToolTip % line[n := Max(1, n - 1)] WheelDown::ToolTip % line[n := Min(line.Count(), n + 1)] Is this now reading from the variable instead of the hard drive on...

thanks mikeyww! It works

Question- how do I load the text file in as the variable instead of pre-defining it inside the () brackets as your code is right now?

Hi all This is going to be a complicated question but I'll do my best... c:\MyTextFile.txt contains: one two three four five six seven eight nine ten When scrolling with WheelUp or WheelDown, the code reads each individual line of text in the file and displays the data as a tooltip. For example: A s...

Those shortcuts look a little complicated, with the modifers and everything (CTRL, ALT, etc)

If you're interested, I could maybe help you out a little bit if you can describe what you want each shortcut to do.

oh ok never mind - found it, thanks

Sorry boiler, I'm not getting it - page 1 of what thread? (I haven't been here in a really long time so I'm kind of out of touch at the moment..)

Hi everyone Long, long time. Playing around with AHK again , it'll take some time to become re-aquainted :) I'm searching for topics as I always did by typing in something like the following into a google search: "AHK clear an edit control" but nothing shows up in Google's search engine results anym...
