variable not recognized in literal string Topic is solved

[partof]

The variable %fronttext% and %backtext% are seen as strings. Any idea why?

Code: Select all

[code=autohotkey file=Untitled.ahk]
#Include WinClipAPI.ahk
#Include WinClip.ahk

WinClip.Clear()
fronttext := "front text"
backtext := "back text"
html := "<span class='tooltip'> %fronttext% <span class='tooltiptext'> %backtext% </span></span>"

WinClip.SetHTML(html)
WinClip.Paste()
Return

[/code]

becuase they are between quotes

Code: Select all

"<span class='tooltip'>"%fronttext%"<span class='tooltiptext'>"%backtext% "</span></span>"

That won't work, either, since that line is in expression mode; Do this instead:

Code: Select all

"<span class='tooltip'>" . fronttext . "<span class='tooltiptext'>" . backtext . "</span></span>"
