WinClip.ahk not working or user error?

[magicinmath]

Trying to use example 4b:
https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8977

Got WinClip here:
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/7467 ... pulations/

Placed the two WinClip ahk files on my desktop along with the rtf.rtf file I'd like to have pasted somewhere.

The code I'm using:

Code: Select all

#singleinstance force
#NoEnv  

#include C:\users\user.name\desktop\WinClipAPI.ahk
#include C:\users\user.name\desktop\WinClip.ahk

!m::
WinClip.Clear()
rtf := FileOpen("C:\users\user.name\desktop\rtf.rtf", "r").read()
WinClip.SetRTF(rtf)
WinClip.Paste()
Return

However, its not working, not sure if I'm doing something wrong or I cant use this with my current AHK: Version 1.1.25.01

Thanks for your time.

Hmm.
Even as a looser of tricky bullshit education regulations, I see the using of the "object oriented way" or however it's called.
"#include C:\users\user.name\desktop\WinClipAPI.ahk"
Am I wrong, or has user.name to be declared before using?
Try:

Code: Select all

#include C:\users\%A_UserName%\desktop\WinClipAPI.ahk
...
rtf := FileOpen("C:\users\" A_UserName "\desktop\rtf.rtf", "r").read()

This is purely to hide my username, not a variable.

This is purely to hide my username, not a variable.

This makes support very easy. Using user.name is much more selfexplaining than using something like MyUserName, or insering a note into comments.
I don't see any other possibilities, that could cause your errors.
Maybe you have to include WinClip.ahk prior to WinClipAPI.ahk

... This makes support very easy. ...

You will know, that is just a joke?

It should work with that version of AHK too (I've been using it for years), so my guess is that your application doesn't accept RTF.

1. what happens if you use HTML? OR
2. the filepath to your RTF isn't correct so nothing is being read into the rtf variable as such, double check that
3. How did you make the RTF file? (I use write/wordpad/libreoffice and MS Word and they all work)

The code I'm using:

Code: Select all

#singleinstance force
#NoEnv  

#include C:\users\user.name\desktop\WinClipAPI.ahk
#include C:\users\user.name\desktop\WinClip.ahk

!m::
WinClip.Clear()
rtf := FileOpen("C:\users\user.name\desktop\rtf.rtf", "r").read()
WinClip.SetRTF(rtf)
WinClip.Paste()
Return

I think it might be something quite simple. You need

Code: Select all

wc := new WinClip

Early in your code - just after your includes would do.

See how that goes for you.
