Pasting a hotstring instead of typing it

[duzymichal]

Hello everyone

Is it possible? I have thousands of string lines that resemble IP numbers and I want them to turn into their assigned category after pasting them, instead of typing. The ahk file with the hotstrings is already made.

Yes, you could create a function that would be called by the hotstring like this: Paste("paste this text"). Then the function would take the text passed to it and assign it to the clipboard, then Send ^v.

It is possible, but as far I did it it was messy. You can paste your contents into ClipBoard and ClipWait till it changes, then simulate CTRL+V to paste it.
