Multilined Hotstring using ClipBoard Topic is solved

[slyfox1186]

Hey guys I am having a problem getting my hotstring to work as intended.

My issue is the last line of text has a tab placed at the beginning of the line before the text.

In my example below I am using HOTSTRINGS as the current windows clipboard contents.

This is what I am currently getting ... I can't figure out how to add a `t character to the beginning of a line so I used TAB HERE in its place:

Code: Select all

/*____________________________________________________________________________________
TAB HEREHOTSTRINGS
TAB HERE*/

This is what it should look like:

Code: Select all

/*____________________________________________________________________________________
TAB HEREHOTSTRINGS
*/

Here is my script so far:

Code: Select all

:OT:test::
	KeyWait, a
	SendInput, `/`*____________________________________________________________________________________
	SendInput, `r`n
	SendInput,`t%ClipBoard%
	SendInput, `r`n
	SendInput, `*`/
Return

Any ideas why the TAB is carrying over to the third line from the second?

It’s probably because your editor is automatically tabbing over following a line that is tabbed over as it would do when you manually use it. Most editors made for coding do that.

I use Notepad++ and as soon as I disabled the options "Auto Indent" in the settings the issue cleared up.

Thanks for reminding me this was a possibility.
