Did you search the forum for "hotstring"? A lot of threads pop up!

There's also _WinAPI_SetWindowsHookEx() in helpfile.

wytas3,

I what context? If the string subtitution is to occur within an AutoIT app you do NOT need any hooking function. If you want system wide substitution then a LL hook may be the answer, but you may need to build in the capability to NOT substitute, based on condition. If you decide that you need a LL hook, use the _hotstring UDF. IT has a really slick technique for posting back from the hook call.

Credit to Manadar for the hotstring UDF. Sorry Manadar, could'nt remember who authored it till I went back and looked

Edit2: What the fuck is wrong with this editor? It loses line breaks and tabs!!!
