Multi-Line Copy/Paste Macro?


Recommended Posts

;Send the string $ss after the Shift Alt and Ctrl keys are released.  Otherwise Autoit makes them stuck >.<
Func _SendEx($ss, $raw = 0)

      Sleep(50)
   WEnd
   If($raw=1)Then
      Send($ss,1)
   Else
      Send($ss)
   EndIf

HotKeySet("^+v", "SC2Pasta") ; Cntrl+Shift+V

Func SC2Pasta()
   Local $clipboard = ClipGet()
   if(Not @error)Then
      Local $lines = StringSplit($clipboard, '\n', 1)
      For $i = 1 To $lines[0]
         _SendEX("+{ENTER}");

EndFunc

Hello!

SO I'm pretty new to autoit syntax, and am trying to create a copy/paste function for a game which does not support return carriages in a single message.

What I'm trying to accomplish is:
-Get contents of clipboard

-Break contents up into individual lines

-Send each line as a message one by one in a loop.

I'm using _SendEx rather than send as a workaround for the shift and control keys getting stuck in the down state.  Currently it ALMOST works.  The problem arises in the For loop.   Game requires shift+enter key to open chat to send to all players.  Right now, the first line will send shift+enter correctly and paste the appropriate line from the clipboard.  However, subsequent iterations through the loop are sending only the enter key, not the shift+enter key.  Why is this?

Thanks in advance

Since I can't seem to edit my own post, I feel I should clarify this with a reply -.-

subsequent iterations through the loop send enter, the correct line of text from the clipboard, and enter again.  The problem is that shift is not being held for the preceding enter, resulting in the message being sent to the wrong place.  I want shift+enter, line, enter.
