beachtech Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I need to be able to copy a long (100ish) list of 12 digit number like this to the clipboard like this: 123456789012 234567890123 345678901234 and have a script send each number, then a space, then the next number on the list, a space, etc. to a website form. I knew Autoit2 very well, but not so much with Autoit3. In Autoit2 I did something similar with a text file and the FileGetLine (if I remember correctly) to get each line of the file. If I can just skip the step of making a text file and just have the script pull it from the clipboard, that would be awesome. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfish Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You may also want to use stringsplit with @crlf as the delimiter. Then you would have an array of each line and you could use @JohnOne's suggestion to append a space at the end as you iterate through the array.

InunoTaishou Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 #1 Local $sFormattedString = StringReplace(FileRead(@ScriptDir & "\My12DigitFile.txt"), @CRLF, " ") MsgBox("", "Replaced {@CRLF} With {Space}", $sFormattedString) #2 Local $sFormattedString = StringReplace(ClipGet(), @CRLF, " ") MsgBox("", "Replaced {@CRLF} With {Space}", $sFormattedString) #3 Local $aFileContent = FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\My12DigitFile.txt") Local $sFormattedString For $i = 0 to UBound($aFileContent) - 1 $sFormattedString &= $aFileContent[$i] & ($i = UBound($aFileContent) - 1 ? "" : " ") Next MsgBox("", "Replaced {@CRLF} With {Space}", $sFormattedString) You can then put the correct string in the clipboard (ClipPut($sFormattedString)) or used Send (I'd recommend controlsend instead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachtech Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) I may have not communicated this correctly. I want to know HOW I send the clipboard contents line-by-line? Instead of the script sending the entire list of number (trying to populate them into one field on a web form) I want it to send each line of the clipboard separately (like a FileReadLine). Can you do a FileReadLIne on a Clipboard? Edited February 17, 2016 by beachtech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Simple, don't use the clipboard at all. Use FileReadLine and do the manipulation you need to the data.

When I saw you can send items from the clipboard, I thought that will save me time. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
