Clipboard and line breaks Topic is solved

[assarj]

Hi AHK Community, I'm trying to create a script in AHK 2, but I don't understand why it's not working. Initially, it should work like this:

Trigger: bbb

Replace with the text:

Thanks for your letter!

{text from clipboard}

Best regards,
our team

I found that to insert text from the clipboard, you need to use:

Code: Select all

{
SendInput "{Raw}" A_Clipboard
}

But how to integrate this with the text and include line breaks, I have no idea. The AI doesn't provide any helpful advice either.

Can someone please help me solve this riddle?

I think you were closer to answering your own riddle than you thought.

After typing "bbb", once you hit space or enter, it is replaced with the text from the clipboard.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
Esc::ExitApp

::bbb::{
    SendInput "{Raw}" A_Clipboard
}

@DuckingQuack Yes, if I do it I just enter my clipboard. But I need to insert clipboard into other text

In the end it should look like this

Thanks for your letter!

{text from my clipboard}

Best regards,
our team

So after triggering bbb I expect to get:

Code: Select all

text "Thanks for your letter!"
Then 1 empty line
Text from my clipboard
One more empty line
On the new line text "Best regards,"
And on the new line text "our team"

I can get this using typinator, and suppose Autohotkey has some similar features, but I don't know how to do it

I know how to trigger text or trigger clipboard, but how to combine them together as I described above I don't know

I received a solution on Discord from the user Descolada, and I'm very grateful to him.

In case someone needs it in the future:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2

:X:bbb::SendText("Thanks for your letter!`n`n" A_Clipboard "`n`nBest regards,`nour team")

You can modify this code to run automatically without a space (by adding an asterisk *) and also add additional lines by including `n

Like this?

Code: Select all

::bbb::
{
SendInput "{Raw}Thanks for your letter!`n`n" A_Clipboard "`n`nBest regards,`nout team"
}

Alright, then I guess you wanted to know about escape sequences.

https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/misc/EscapeChar.htm

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
InstallMouseHook
InstallKeybdHook
Esc::ExitApp

::bbb::{
    SendInput "`n{Raw}" A_Clipboard "`n"
}
