hotstrings in AHK 2

[dentopolis]

I've a script with many hotstrings, everything written in AHK 1 and it still works even if I've installed AHK 2 beta, but I'd like to move to AHK 2 to learn it and use in a future, so I've changed old code:

Code: Select all

::zn1::
SendInput, anaesthetic 1 amp. Citocartin 100 (40 mg Articaini hydrochloridum + 0,01 mg Adrenalini tartas),{space}
Return

::e1::
SendInput, izolacja pola zabiegowego koferdamem, opracowanie komory, ostateczne opracowanie kanału MAF 25 0.06 mm, 17`% EDTA, płukanie 5`% NaOCl, aktywacja ultradźwiękami, płukanie 40`% kwas cytrynowy, osuszenie i wypełnienie kanałów gutaperka 25 0.06 z AH{+}, rtg, opatrunek tymczasowy Kromoglass
Return

to new according to docs, but after I write "zn1" or "e1" script sends much more text, even from other hotstrings. That's strange. What should I change?

Code: Select all

::zn1::
{
SendInput anaesthetic 1 amp. Citocartin 100 (40 mg Articaini hydrochloridum + 0,01 mg Adrenalini tartas),{space}
}

::e1::
{
SendInput "izolacja pola zabiegowego koferdamem, opracowanie komory, ostateczne opracowanie kanału MAF 25 0.06 mm, 17`% EDTA, płukanie 5`% NaOCl, aktywacja ultradźwiękami, płukanie 40`% kwas cytrynowy, osuszenie i wypełnienie kanałów gutaperka 25 0.06 z AH{+}, rtg, opatrunek tymczasowy Kromoglass"
}

"much more text" ? Senseless text? duplicate text? ...?

[dentopolis]

text from other hotstrings from below the currently executed.

I suspect that the v2 script is inadvertently being run by a version 1 copy of AutoHotkey.exe.

Looks like it.

Edit: @dentopolis There exists a #requires directive that could help you catch when a script is not being executed with the expected version. For example puting at the top of script #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0-beta.1

Using ah1 and ah2 extensions indeed makes sense.
I would also advice to start using the #Requires command at the start of the scripts to detect if the version is wrong.

Your conversion of the zn1 hotkey seems to be wrong.

To make the conversion easier of a large scripts, you can use this convertor.

This is what the convertor gave:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0-beta.1

::zn1::
{ ; V1toV2: Added bracket
SendInput("anaesthetic 1 amp. Citocartin 100 (40 mg Articaini hydrochloridum + 0,01 mg Adrenalini tartas),{space}")
Return
} ; V1toV2: Added Bracket before hotkey or Hotstring

::e1::
{ ; V1toV2: Added bracket
SendInput("izolacja pola zabiegowego koferdamem, opracowanie komory, ostateczne opracowanie kanału MAF 25 0.06 mm, 17`"  EDTA, płukanie 5` " NaOCl, aktywacja ultradźwiękami, płukanie 40`"  kwas cytrynowy, osuszenie i wypełnienie kanałów gutaperka 25 0.06 z AH{+}, rtg, opatrunek tymczasowy Kromoglass")
Return
} ; V1toV2: Added bracket in the end
