Sending %A_Index% values without hard-coding them into script Topic is solved

[JKnight_xbt33]

Dear all,
I made a script based on this thread: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/80517-ahk-to-read-a-text-file-copy-first-linepaste-and-loop/

The idea is to read a txt file line by line, get the ID number in each line and create a pseudo array for each line.
After that if I open a blank document and hit the hotkey it will append each ID number to the end of c:\myfile\parent\

Code: Select all

#UseHook On
 
^!u::
setkeydelay , -1

Loop, Read, C:\Users\JK\Documents\AHK scripts\id.txt 

IDArr%A_Index% := A_LoopReadLine 

return

where I am stuck

To recall the id number in a blank document, I have to type the code below into the script and adjust depending on the line number in red:
send c:\myfile\parent\%IDArr1%
send c:\myfile\parent\%IDArr2%
e.t.c.

I dont want to have to do this for 100 lines.
Is there a way to loop automatically send
c:\myfile\parent\%IDArr1%,
c:\myfile\parent\%IDArr2%,
c:\myfile\parent\%IDArr3%,
e.t.c.

while also ignoring blank/empty lines?


Cheers for the help guys

I dont understand, make it clear, what format you want to paste in the new document.

Code: Select all

Line1 content ...  and c:\myfile\parent\fileID + LineNumber
Line2 content ...  and c:\myfile\parent\fileID + LineNumber
Blank line ignored
Blank line ignored
Line3 content ...  and c:\myfile\parent\fileID + LineNumber

like this ?

Here 3 approaches via pseudo array

Code: Select all

;slow version
While % IDArr%A_index%
 	send % "c:\myfile\parent\" IDArr%A_index% "`n"

Code: Select all

; faster version
ClipBoard := ""
While % IDArr%A_index%{
	ClipBoard .= "c:\myfile\parent\" IDArr%A_index% "`n"
	Send ^v
}

Code: Select all

;ultra fast version
ClipBoard := ""
While % IDArr%A_index%
	ClipBoard .= "c:\myfile\parent\" IDArr%A_index% "`n"
Send ^v
