StringReplace not working...

[andrew.arnott]

Okay, here is my issue. I'm trying to use StringReplace (to get rid of some newline characters and tabs from an entry in the clipboard), but when I use ClipGet() and then StringReplace, it won''t replace anything.

HotKeySet("^+d", "CreateGetterSetter")

#Include <string.au3>

While 1
    Sleep(0x7FFFFFFF)
WEnd

Func CreateGetterSetter()
    Send("{CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}")
    $text = ClipGet()
    StringReplace($text,@CRLF," ")
    StringReplace($text,@LF," ")
    StringReplace($text,@CR," ")
    StringReplace($text,@TAB,"")
    MsgBox(0, "New string is", $text)
EndFunc

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

i am really not sure...

but try this

HotKeySet("^+d", "CreateGetterSetter")

#Include <string.au3>

While 1
    Sleep(0x7FFFFFFF)
WEnd

Func CreateGetterSetter()
    Send("{CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}")
    $text = ClipGet()
    $text = StringReplace($text,Chr(13)," ")
    $text = StringReplace($text,Chr(10)," ")
  ;StringReplace($text,Chr(13)," ")
    $text = StringReplace($text,Chr(9),"")
    MsgBox(0, "New string is", $text)
EndFunc

$text = StringReplace($text,@CRLF," ")

etc....

Thx for the quick replies!

Hmmm -- still won't work. Perhaps it has to do with HotKeySet, since if I don't use a hotkey to call the function, it replaces the clipboard text no problem.

Is this a bug?

Should work... can you show your updated code ?

Thanks a lot it works now! Soon my setter/getter function will work
