Split a single line of text to multiline Topic is solved

[vsub]

If I have a long single line of text,how can I convert it to multi line
For example

something --something1 --something2 --something3
I want to get this result back to the clipboard

something
--something1
--something2
--something3

-- determines that a new line need to be done

One way:

Code: Select all

input := "something --something1 --something2 --something3"

output := RegExReplace(input, "\s*--", "`n--")
MsgBox, % output

RegEx...something I don't understand
Thanks,works fine

You're welcome. Here's code to automatically check new contents of the clipboard and split it and place it back on the clipboard:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
OnClipboardChange("SplitLines")
return

SplitLines() {
	if !InStr(Clipboard, "--")
		return
	OnClipboardChange("SplitLines", 0)
	Clipboard := RegExReplace(Clipboard, "\s*--", "`n--")
	OnClipboardChange("SplitLines", 1)
}
