Autohotkey - Replace different words or sentences - autohotkey

in this script that I use i can replace only one word teams--> milan, juventus, inter..
But i want replace many words (not only one word) for example:
[simply word replacement jack-->beta]
alfa-->beta
[sentence replacement jack-->jack,john,alfa]
jack
jack
john
alfa
This is actually code that i use
loop {
While !RegexMatch(strCapture, "teams$") {
Input, strUserInput, V L1, {BackSpace} ; V: visible, L1: Character length 1
If ErrorLevel = Endkey:BackSpace
strCapture := SubStr(strCapture, 1, StrLen(strUserInput) - 1)
else
strCapture .= strUserInput
; tooltip % ErrorLevel "`n" strUserInput "`n" strCapture "`n" ; enable this to see what actually happens
}
SendInput,
(Ltrim
{Backspace 5}
milan
juventus
inter
roma
lazio
napoli
mantova
)
strCapture := ""
}
How can I modify the code?
It is also possible to run the script integrating copy-paste?

You could use a For loop to replace the contents, but this would become increasingly tedious to maintain at scale, so YMMV.
The following will use the clipboard contents as the to/from variables, but you can swap it out with a variable as desired (replace "clipboard" with your string variable).
F3::
{
replace := {"alfa":"beta", "gamma":"delta"}
For start, end in replace {
StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, %start%, %end%, All
}}
Return

Updating my current script which modifies multiple lines into a single one

My current script copies text like this with a shortcut:
:WiltedFlower: aetheryxflower ─ 4
:Alcohol: alcohol ─ 3,709
:Ant: ant ─ 11,924
:Apple: apple ─ 15
:ArmpitHair: armpithair ─ 2
and pastes it modified into a single line
Pls trade 4 aetheryxflower 3 alcohol 11 ant 15 apple 2 armpithair <#id>
As you can see there are already two little problems, the first one is that it copies only the number/s before a comma if one existed instead of ignoring it. The second is that I always need to also copy before hitting the hotkey and start re/start the script, I've thought of modifying the script so that it uses the already selected text instead of the copied one so that I can bind it with a single hotkey.
That is my current script, it would be cool if anyone can also tell me what they used and why exactly, so that I also get better with ahk
!q::
list =
While pos := RegExMatch(Clipboard, "(\w*) ─ (\d*)", m, pos ? pos + StrLen(m) : 1)
list .= m2 " " m1 " "
Clipboard := "", Clipboard := "Pls trade " list " <#951737931159187457>"
ClipWait, 0
If ErrorLevel
MsgBox, 48, Error, An error occurred while waiting for the clipboard.
return
If the pattern of your copied text dont change, you can use something like this:
#Persistent
OnClipboardChange:
list =
a := StrSplit(StrReplace(Clipboard, "`r"), "`n")
Loop,% a.Count() {
b := StrSplit( a[A_Index], ": " )
c := StrSplit( b[2], " - " )
list .= Trim( c[2] ) " " Trim( c[1] ) " "
}
Clipboard := "Pls trade " list " <#951737931159187457>"]
ToolTip % Clipboard ; just for debug
return
With your example text, the output will be:
Pls trade aetheryxflower ─ 4 alcohol ─ 3,709 ant ─ 11,924 apple ─ 15 armpithair ─ 2 <#951737931159187457>
And this will run EVERY TIME your clipboard changes, to avoid this, you can add at the top of the script #IfWinActive, WinTitle or #IfWinExist, WinTitle depending of your need.
The answer given would solve the problem, assuming that it never changes pattern as Diesson mentions.
I did the explanation of the code you provided with comments in the code below:
!q::
list = ; initalize a blank variable
; regexMatch(Haystack, regexNeedle, OutputVar, startPos)
; just for frame of reference in explanation of regexMatch
While ; loop while 'pos' <> 0
pos := RegExMatch(Clipboard ; Haystack is the string to be searched,
in this case the Clipboard
, "(\w*) ─ (\d*)" ; regex needle in this case "capture word characters
(a-z OR A-Z OR 0-9 OR _) any number of times, space dash space
then capture any number of digits (0-9)"
, m ; output var array base name, ie first capture will be in m1
second m2 and so on.
, pos ? pos + StrLen(m) : 1) ; starting position for search
"? :"used in this way is called a ternary operator, what is saying
is "if pos<>0 then length of string+pos is start position, otherwise
start at 1". Based on the docs, this shouldn't actually work well
since 'm' in this case should be left blank
list .= m2 " " m1 " " ; append the results to the 'list' variable
followed with a space
Clipboard := "" ; clear the clipboard.
Clipboard := "Pls trade " list " <#951737931159187457>"
ClipWait, 0 ; wait zero seconds for the clipboard to change
If ErrorLevel ; if waiting zero seconds for the clipboard to change
doesn't work, give error msg to user.
MsgBox, 48, Error, An error occurred while waiting for the clipboard.
return
Frankly this code is what I would call quick and dirty, and seems unlikely to work well all the time.

Join lines automatically using autohotkey

Long paragraphs in Adobe Acrobat results in a line break when text is copied to clipboard and pasted in Word.
To deal with this, I manually paste the copied-text in Notepad ++ > select all > ctrl+J (join lines) > select all > Copy...... and then paste it into my Word document.
I would like to automate this join line using autohotkey as I have a large body of documents to go through. I can't seem to find any examples online in dealing with this directly within autohotkey script.
Ex.
Data structures with labeled axes supporting automatic or explicit data alignment.
This prevents common errors resulting from misaligned data and working with
differently-indexed data coming from different sources.
After manually joining in Notepad ++

This works:
#Persistent
OnClipboardChange("ClipChanged")
return
ClipChanged() {
If (WinActive("ahk_exe AcroRd32.exe")) {
For e, v in StrSplit(clipboard, "`n", "`r")
x .= v " "
clipboard := trim(x)
}
}
Try this:
#Persistent
return
OnClipboardChange:
If WinActive("ahk_exe AcroRd32.exe")
{
clipboard =
Send, {Ctrl down}c{Ctrl up}{Esc}
ClipWait
clip := RegExReplace(clipboard, "(\S.*?)\R(.*?\S)", "$1 $2") ; strip line breaks and replace them with spaces
clipboard = %clip%
StringReplace clipboard, clipboard, % " ", % " ", A ; replace double spaces with single spaces
ClipWait
ControlClick, x0 y0, A
}
return
EDIT
Or this:
#Persistent
return
OnClipboardChange:
If WinActive("ahk_class AcrobatSDIWindow")
{
clipboard := ""
Send, {Ctrl down}c{Ctrl up}{Esc}
ClipWait
clip := RegExReplace(clipboard, "(\S.*?)\R(.*?\S)", "$1 $2") ; strip line breaks and replace them with spaces
StringReplace clip, clip, % " ", % " ", A ; replace double spaces with single spaces
clipboard := ""
clipboard = %clip%
ClipWait 2
If !(ErrorLevel)
{
ToolTip, lines joined
Sleep 500
ToolTip
}
}
return

MATLAB auto completing start and end statements of code body?

Is it possible in MATLAB to automatically insert start and end of a code body ?
For example: classdef and end; function and end; methods and end.
classdef Circle
properties
radius
end
methods
function dia = FindDia(obj)
dia = [obj.radius]*2;
end
function %no automatic insertion of 'end'
end
end
Since I work regularly in so many different editors, I don't rely on any one editor's features. It's a pain to learn them all and keep the configuration for all these editors in sync, on all my machines. Often, it's useful to have the same feature set I'm used to, in editors not even meant for code (like MS Word, or here on Stack Overflow).
Therefore, I use AutoHotkey for this kind of thing (and Autokey on Linux).
For functions and classes, I use a paste function to paste a specific template file, depending on whether I'm at work or at home, and which project I'm working on. A small GUI then asks me for the function or class name, which it then populates the template with. I can share that too if you want.
Below are a few AutoHotkey functions and hotstrings I use for including the end keyword. Note that this might all seem overly complex just to put an end there, and in this case, it probably is. But the clipCopy, clipPaste and getIndent functions have proven their usefulness in the rest of my programming snippets, and I hope they might be for you too.
I've thrown in the error functions as well, just because.

Autohotkey if in clipboard

So I am trying to look for a specific text on the webpage and do a thing if the text was found, here is my current script:
!m::
clipboard =
text = my text here
Send, {Ctrl}+A
Sleep, 100
Send, {Ctrl}+C
var1 = %clipboard%
IfInString, var1, %text%
msgbox found the text
else
msgbox no text found
And regardless if the text is on the webpage or not, it always returns "no text found"
Any help on this?
P.S. I've also tried "if contains" and removing line breaks from the variable but the result is the same :(
StringReplace, var1, var1, `r `n, All
The send commands are not correct.
A command {Ctrl}+A, will press Ctrl, release it, and then press A. The lower case letter should also be used.
You should use either:
Send, {Ctrl down}{a}{Ctrl up}
or
Send, ^{a}
Do this for both Send commands.
A return commend should also be included as the end of the hotkey code
sequence:
...
else
msgbox no text found
return
Try this:
!m::
clipboard := "", MyText := "Hello World"
cmds := ["{Ctrl down}", "a", "c", "{ctrl up}"]
Loop % cmds.MaxIndex() {
Send % cmds[A_Index]
if (A_index == 2)
sleep 100
}
MsgBox % clipboard ~= "i)" MyText ? "Found" : "Not Found"

Autohotkey - virtual keyboard / AutoInput

I have this simply script in Autohotkey:
:*:teams::
(
milan
juventus
inter
roma
lazio
napoli
mantova
)
When i type teams on Notepad my output is the list of teams (milan, juventus..)
if i use a physical keyboard to type teams this script work for me
, but if use a virtual keyboard to type teams i have no list on Notepad:
and if i run the script to type teams automatically
WinWait, *new 2 - Notepad++,
IfWinNotActive, *new 2 - Notepad++, , WinActivate, *new 2 - Notepad++,
WinWaitActive, *new 2 - Notepad++,
MouseClick, left, 133, 117
Sleep, 100
Send, squadre
the script doesn't replace teams with the list of teams
Why the script works only if i type with a physical keyboard?
is there a solution to replace words, sentences with my scripts without using physical keyboard?
Sorry if i am noob
You can use the Input command.
loop {
While !RegexMatch(strCapture, "teams$") {
Input, strUserInput, V L1, {BackSpace} ; V: visible, L1: Character length 1
If ErrorLevel = Endkey:BackSpace
strCapture := SubStr(strCapture, 1, StrLen(strUserInput) - 1)
else
strCapture .= strUserInput
; tooltip % ErrorLevel "`n" strUserInput "`n" strCapture "`n" ; enable this to see what actually happens
}
SendInput,
(Ltrim
{Backspace 5}

}
