Thanks for your reply.
%A_ThisHotkey% pass only hotstring which is define in code not pass line parameter

I'm not sure what you mean, but you can pass on anything you like to a function. Some examples

Code: Select all

Global MyArray:={"hello":"world","btw":"AutoHotkey"} ; associative array

::btw::
::hello::
	xyz(MyArray[Trim(A_ThisHotkey,":")])
return

::bye:: ; regular hotstring
	xyz("Goodnight")
Return	

xyz(in)
	{
	 msgbox %in%
	}

If by %1% you mean a parameter you passed on to your script at start up it is probably best to assign these to a normal variable a soon as possible

Code: Select all

HelloText=%1%

::hello::
	xyz(HelloText)
return

xyz(in)
	{
	 msgbox %in%
	}

If you truly need the script not to do anything until after you type "open notepad " then you might look into Dynamic Hotstrings. It is a script somewhere on the forums that allows you to use RegEx patterns as hotstrings and you can make what you seem to want work very much like a normal hotstring without having to type invisible or bring up a input box.

You can use the V option for the input command to make the input text visible.

Enter the word you want to pass into the HotString 1 space to the left of the HotString

Code: Select all

; enter your argument | Parameter left or the trigger string 
; Ctrl + Left Arrow moves the curso to the beginning of the previous word

Send ^{Left}					; send Ctrl + Left error - goes to begning of word to the left
Send {Shift down}				; hold shift down 
Send ^{end}						; select to end of line
Send {Shift up}					; shift up 
tempClip := clipboard			; save the current clipboard stuff (text anyway)
clipboard := ""
Send ^{x}						; copy to the clipboard 
ClipWait						; wait for the clipboard to have stuff 
my_word := Clipboard
clipboard := tempClip

msgbox, % "My word is " my_word

This seems to work on a Windows 7 machine
