Paste into custom GUI with AHK - user-input

Question

I have been working on this for a while and I have no idea how to fix this issue. I want to create a custom GUI in AutoHotKey (AHK), I would post ont he AHK Forums but I haven't been able to get my account to work so I am posting here (sorry if this is the wrong place). The ideal state is that I can paste in a list of indiscriminate length from a list, it is almost always return delimited, see the picture below. I would be happy with pasting 10 items in. I have built the GUI but I can not paste the values in with the shortcut Ctrl+v. All that happens is the first value goes into the first cell and I cannot figure out how to get the rest to paste in.
I need to be able to read the values into an array in the AHK when I click continue. Thanks for your help in advance. Below is my code to create the GUI.
Gui, Add, Text,, Please add the List that you want (10 Max at once)
Gui Add, Edit, vButton1,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton2,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton3,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton4,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton5,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton6,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton7,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton8,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton9,
Gui Add, Edit, vButton0,
Gui Add, Button, x200 y270 w88 h26 vButton02 gGoCont, Continue
Gui Add, Button, x290 y270 w88 h26 vButton03 gGoQuit, Cancel
Gui Show
return
GoCont:
{
MsgBox %Button1%
MsgBox %Button2%
}
return
GoQuit:
Gui Destroy
return

If you can stand a txt file with one name per line, called "names.txt" in the same folder as your ahk script, try something like this:
Add this to the top (it reads in your names.txt file one line at a time):
Loop, Read, names.txt
x%A_Index% := A_LoopReadLine
START EDIT (per comments):
Alternatively, if you already copied to the clipboard the several names from a spreadsheet or website table or other list, then put it this way:
Loop, parse, Clipboard, `n, `r
x%A_Index% := A_LoopField
Either way,
END EDIT
Then, replace all 10 of your edit box lines with these two lines:
Loop, 10 ; or more?
Gui Add, Edit, vButton%A_Index%, % x%A_Index%
The rest is just as you had it.
Let us know, Have fun,

Big thanks to #PGilm
Gui, PasteGUI:Add, Text,, Please add the Names that you want to Process.
Counter := 0
Loop, parse, Clipboard, `n, `r
{
x%A_Index% := A_LoopField
Counter++
}
Counter--
Loop, %Counter% ; Dynamic List length
Gui PasteGUI:Add, Edit, vButton%A_Index%, % x%A_Index%
Gui PasteGUI:Add, Button, x200 y270 w88 h26 vButton02 gGoCont Default, Continue
Gui PasteGUI:Add, Button, x290 y270 w88 h26 vButton03 gGoQuit, Cancel
Gui, PasteGUI:Show
}
Return
GoCont:
{
Loop, %Counter%
{
CODE TO PROCESS MY EACH NAME
}
MsgBox Done!
Gui Destroy
}
Return
GoQuit:
Gui Destroy
Return
Lastly if I want to add a keyboard shortcut to work then I mapped in one where I put the below line at the top of the code
PasteIn:
{
And then close the bracket at the end of the code and then add the shortcut. (the below can be added to the bottom of the code to work) this uses the Ctrl+v keyboard shortcut.
}
^v:: GoTo, PasteIn
