Copying text

[thenewkid]

is there a way to make a script to copy text and just say it was

8:20 thenewkid: pc milk

and the scritp will copy it all and take the bit after pc and find it in a .ini and retrun the the what the guy wants to know.

Sure can.

It is all in the helpfile. From what I understand, you want to capture text, and save that to a ini.

$val = send ("^a") ;sends a ctrl + a to copy the text you highlighted to the clipboard

iniwrite("path to ini file", "section", "key", $val)

Check out all the String* functions in the helpfile.

$string = "8:20 thenewkid: pc milk"
$clip = StringInStr($string, "pc ")
$ret = StringMid($string, $clip)
$ret = StringTrimLeft($ret, 3)

Hopefully that helps you along your way.

Edit: Forgot the StringTrim.
