split Code to more than one line?

[PuzzledGreatly]

Any suggestions for how to make a filecopy with very long paths more legible. I tried splitting the line at a comma but then the filecopy didn't work. I suppose I could use variables, one for source and the other for target but that takes more lines. VBA allows the user to split at a _. Nothing similar in autohotkey? Thanks

thanks for clarifying VB. i always wondered about "_" used in this case:

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

?

Code: Select all

FileCopy
, C:\SomeFilePath\SomeFile.ext
, C:\OtherFilePath

[Guest10]

how do you split this long path:

Code: Select all

FileCopy
, C:\SomeFilePath1\SomeFilePath2\SomeFilePath3\SomeFilePath4\SomeFilePath5\SomeFilePath6\SomeFilePath7\SomeFilePath8\SomeFilePath9\SomeFilePath10\SomeFilePath11\SomeFilePath12\SomeFilePath13\SomeFilePath14\SomeFilePath15\SomeFile.ext
, C:\OtherFilePath

Can anyone confirm if splitting a line with a comma works with filecopy as when I tried it it didn't work for me. Thanks

The above code worked for me. Perhaps post the code you have tried.

Code: Select all

FileCopy,% "
(Join
C:\SomeFilePath1\SomeFilePath2\SomeFilePath3\SomeFilePath4
\SomeFilePath5\SomeFilePath6\SomeFilePath7\SomeFilePath8\SomeFilePath9
\SomeFilePath10\SomeFilePath11\SomeFilePath12\SomeFilePath13\SomeFilePath14
\SomeFilePath15\SomeFile.ext
)", C:\OtherFilePath

We call it Expressions.
Enjoy !!

Code: Select all

FileCopy
, 	% "C:\"
.	"SomeFilePath1\"
.	"SomeFilePath2\"
.	"SomeFilePath3\"
.	"SomeFilePath4\"
.	"SomeFilePath5\"
.	"SomeFilePath6\"
.	"SomeFilePath7\"
.	"SomeFilePath8\"
.	"SomeFilePath9\"
.	"SomeFile.ext"	
, 	% "C:\"
.	"SomeFilePath9\"
.	"SomeFilePath8\"
.	"SomeFilePath7\"
.	"SomeFilePath6\"
.	"SomeFilePath5\"
.	"SomeFilePath4\"
.	"SomeFilePath3\"
.	"SomeFilePath2\"
.	"SomeFilePath1\"
.	"SomeFile.ext"	

or We can call it Concatenate operators.

Yeah I've tried using the comma too. With one script it worked and yet with another it didn't. The Help documentation doesn't say anything about there being scenarios where it won't work so I'd like to know why it didn't.

What's your scenarios, specifically ?

The help file is just a man-made one. It's not perfect at all. More importantly it is free of charge. If possible, your help will be very valuable for the better Help file.

Thanks Hamlet, Unfortunately I can't remember what script it was but if I come across the issue again I'll definitely post back here
