If I insert the Hotstring into another program it is not fast enough and mixes sometimes keys on the right position or it lags. It happens when I am using a long text.
I am using:
:*:ex1::Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod t
empor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim venia
m, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commod

aborum Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod t

se cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupida
tat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est l
aborum
And it will result in some errors or a longer waiting duration.
This works faster, but sometimes I get an error with double text if I press an Endchar like enter too fast, or I do some different things which I can't lay my finger on.
:*:ex2::
Clipboard = %text%
Send ^v
Exit
Also there is the Clipboard messed up (I think I can store it with an variable and refill it but I am using this Multi-clipboard from windows Windows+V)
Also I am updating the Autohotkey script with excel and it is much easier to use concatenate with the first example.
=IF(List1!B34<>"",(CONCATENATE(":",List1!C34,":",List1!A34,"::",List1!B34)),(CONCATENATE(";",List1!A34)))
So I can use in C something like *0
In A the shortcut and in B the actual text.
If there is nothing in the shortcut field, my headline is inserted in the code for a better overview.
Thanks
Try this
:*:ex1::
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll ; save the entire clipboard to the variable ClipSaved
clipboard := "" ; empty the clipboard (start off empty to allow ClipWait to detect when the text has arrived)
clipboard = ; copy this text:

I have text that I would like to parse into individual sections, along with the number heading that section. To see what I mean, I currently have something similar to the following script that parses out lines of text between numbers such as '1. ' or '10. '.

However, what I would like to see is that the number I'm extracting stay associated to that section of text. However, I cannot simply do this with something like a ROW_NUMBER() over the STARTS/POS fields, as there are strings that do not initially start with a number (e.g. ID = 3). So the end result would look something like this:

I've tried replacing my nested REPLACE statement with variations of the STUFF function, and even combinations of the STUFF/REPLACE functions, but I can't quite get it to work the way I want it to. Does anyone have ideas about how to do this? Thanks!
Note! Assuming that I understood your request, then The solution is simple using STRING_SPLIT function, but this is not something that you should do in production probably s the performance are really poor. This type of task are better do in the client side.

Comments
(1) For the sake of the demo, I manually used the numbers 1-6 but in your production you might have many more numbers. You can use dynamic query in order to build the query dynamically. With that being said, for most cases, It is HIGHLY recommended not to be lazy (at least if the amount of numbers is too high) and use this approach of manually write nested REPLACE since dynamic query might reduce performance.
(2) SQL Server does not deal parsing text well and using multiple string functions is usually not recommended. Using SQL CLR you can gain much better result probably by using regular expression.
(3) In general you should avoid such task in the server side. SQL Server is a database management application and as such it is designed for best performance in managing the data and not parsing the data.
After some research and elbow grease, I've come up with the solution below. I am not sure how performant/optimized it is, and I'm certain there's probably better ways to do this. However, I wanted to avoid hard-coding the numbers... So here it is:

This solution was partially inspired by Ronen Ariely's answer as well as this post from SQLServerFast: https://sqlserverfast.com/blog/hugo/2019/04/removing-multiple-patterns-from-a-string/. It is able to hardcode the patterns I want to capture rather than all the individual instances of the pattern. I tried in particular to get this part to return only the starting index point of the number pattern (so if "2. " appears at points 233, 234, and 235, I only really want 233) but alas I could not figure that out. Interesting stuff, XML.
, INDXS AS (
SELECT E.*, N.*, [GROUP] = DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY N.ROWNUM) - N.ROWNUM

-- Outer apply so as to capture those without the pattern at all
OUTER APPLY (

SELECT *

WHERE PATINDEX(P.PATTERN, STUFF(E.COMMENT, 1, CASE WHEN N.ROWNUM > P.LENGTH THEN N.ROWNUM - P.LENGTH ELSE 0 END, '')) BETWEEN 1 AND CASE WHEN N.ROWNUM > P.LENGTH THEN P.LENGTH ELSE N.ROWNUM END)
-- For when there is no intial number at the beginning, but others at later indices
OR N.ROWNUM = 1 )) AS N

In production, I had 335 rows I was applying this to, in which the "COMMENT" field was generally much longer than the sample data I used here. It took about 24 seconds, which works for me (this is for a one time report, but I may use it for similar requests).
Thanks to those who responded!
I have a requirement to produce a scroll view in Flutter in which a widget containing content needs to be scrollable over top of a header widget. The header should be part of the background of the container and the content should be scrollable to cover the header. The image below illustrates this. The view on the left shows the default view when the widget is loaded. The view on the right shows the desired behavior when the view is scrolled upward to cover the header view. I've looked into SingleChildScrollView but can't find any properties that allow me to offset the content at the bottom. Can anyone suggest a different widget or point to a resource that might help? THanks!
The example below shows how you can create such feature.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(home: App()));
class App extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: CustomScrollView(
slivers: [
SliverAppBar(
expandedHeight: kToolbarHeight * 6,
