Keep A Script Running

[eNtoS 0]

i want to make a simple script that will paste text from the clipboard with an alternative shortcut

the problem is that the script runs through once and exits immediately... i want it to sit and wait for my hotkey...

any help is greatly appreciated

HotKeySet("^+v", "parse")

Func parse()
HotKeySet("^+v")
Send("ClipGet()")
HotKeySet("^+v", "parse")
EndFunc

Welcome eNtoS,

Just use a While loop with a Sleep inside it.

HotKeySet("^+v", "parse")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func parse()
    HotKeySet("^+v")
    Send("ClipGet()")
    HotKeySet("^+v", "parse")
EndFunc

Edit:

Remove the quotes around ClipGet() if you want the contents from the clipboard instead of a string "ClipGet()".

Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)
HotKeySet("^+v", "parse")
HotKeySet("some your hotkey", "DoExit")

while 1
  Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func parse()
HotKeySet("^+v")
Send("ClipGet()")
HotKeySet("^+v", "parse")
EndFunc

Func DoExit()
