Harmless Prank

I wrote up a little code which would replace "e" with ":D" 1% of the time. It doesn't work. See below.

Code: Select all

list1= e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, e, :D
listA:=strSplit(list1, ",") ; A = Array

~e:: 
	random, choice, 1, % listA.maxIndex() 
	response:=trim(listA[choice]) 
	sendRaw, %response% 
return 

Instead, it runs itself over and over (Sending "e," of course, triggers the hotkey) until it's a smiley. I can think of 2 options to fix this, which I'm looking up now:
A) There's a better option than sendRaw which would input the keystroke without triggering the hotkey again.
B) There's a way to have it produce a random number between 1 and 100, and if it's 1 then it sends a smiley. Else it does nothing.

I'm more a fan of the second option, but I bet the first one will be way faster and easier (if it's possible). What do you think?

Use the $ symbol to prevent send from triggering hotkeys . Also, why the array? Seems like a waste of space.

Code: Select all

$e:: 
	random, choice, 1, 100 
	if(choice = 1)
		send, :D
	else
		send, e
return

I'm only just learning ahk, and it seemed to work. This is much more concise. Thank you. It is working much better than the oth:Dr way.
