simple + math

Hey,
How can i do infinite addition if i press ^c again? at the moment i can only add up 2 numbers.

Code: Select all

amount =  
Clipboard = 
send, {ctrl up} 
~rbutton::

Send ^c                          

amount := Clipboard
sleep, 10
amount2 := Clipboard + amount

return

a::

msgbox, %amount2%
return

esc::exitapp

Code: Select all

sum = 0
a::MsgBox, 64, Sum, %sum%
RButton::
Clipboard =
Send ^c
ClipWait, 0
If ErrorLevel
 MsgBox, 48, Error, An error occurred while waiting for the clipboard.
Else sum += Clipboard
Return

^c is not the hotkey. It is RButton.

lol, i forgot the rbutton hotkey was still a thing...no wonder the edits didn't change anything.. anyways, thank you so much it works like a charm

[sammy4]

one last question, how can msgbox show decimals?

e.g.

104,112.297 + 5,035.332 = 109,147.629

thanks.

Although AHK will not do math with commas, you can remove the commas.

Code: Select all

sum += StrReplace(Clipboard, ",")

Hallo,
perhaps:

Code: Select all

a = 104112.297
b = 5035.332

MsgBox,% ThSep(a) " + " ThSep(b) " = " ThSep(a + b)

ThSep(x, s=",")
{ ; s = thousands separator
	x := RegExReplace(x, "\.0*$|\.\d*?\K0+$")
	Return, RegExReplace(x, "\G\d+?(?=(\d{3})+(?:\D|$))", "$0" s)
}

thanks so much guys

for some odd reason it adds random numbers to the copied value.
104,112.297 turns into 104216.297000

Code: Select all

sum = 0
~a::MsgBox, 64, Sum, % sum
mButton::
Clipboard =
Send ^c
ClipWait, 0

If ErrorLevel
{
  sleep, 1
}
Else
{
sum += StrReplace(Clipboard, ",")
sleep, 1
sum += Clipboard
} 
Return

Instead of adding to the sum twice, just add once.

[sammy4]

i see, i thought "sum += StrReplace(Clipboard, ",")" would only replace the ","

have a good day.

sum += StrReplace(Clipboard, ",")

How could you prove that AHK knows how to handle commas in math? I have a scenario where I get the StatusBarGetText from Notepad++ to grab the Line # but have problems whenever line is over 1000 I think because it is reading as 1,000. Thanks for ALL your help! You are part of what makes AutoHotkey so GREAT! swub

[mikeyww]

Kind of you!

[swub]

Code: Select all

vTest := 1,000
vTestOut := 26
EnvSub, vTest, %vTestout%
MsgBox %vTest%

And the MsgBox says "-25" So can you show me how it should be done?

Thank You again!

[mikeyww]

Code: Select all

vTest    := "1,000"
vTestOut := "26"
MsgBox, 64, Difference, % vTest := subtractStrings(vTest, vTestOut)

subtractStrings(str1, str2) {
 Return StrReplace(str1, ",") - StrReplace(str2, ",")
}

A demonstration:

Code: Select all

vTest1 := 1,000
vTest2 := 3,4,5,6,7,8,9
MsgBox, %vTest1%
MsgBox, %vTest2%

Explained: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetExpression.htm

A string with commas is not interpreted as a number.
An expression with commas is interpreted as multiple expressions (I believe).
My best explanation of this is that the value of an expression containing commas is equal to the value of the first expression in the list. Others may have a more technically accurate description.

Code: Select all

vTest2 := (3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
MsgBox, %vTest2%

Another demonstration of expressions:

Code: Select all

Send % (3, c := 5, a := "9")
MsgBox, %c%
MsgBox, %a%

The answer to your question is straightforward and is the same answer previously provided in this thread: you remove the commas before you introduce the mathematics.

And now for the final exam, to see whether you learned something.

Code: Select all

456 = 1,000
3 = 456
MsgBox, %3%

[swub]

Thank you so much for explaining this to me. Sometimes my ADD gets in the way and your explanation made it very clear. OH and the answer to the test is: 456.
