I need help with multiple line variables (specifically the clipboard)

[JoshMoore13579]

Can you help me with this? I am trying to paste multiple lines of code into a program, and it is not working. Right now I am using the (parentheses) method to store the info in the clipboard variable. It doesn't store multiple lines however, not even when I put `n at the end. (Which I would rather not use as there is a lot of lines that would need `n s on them. This is how I do it now:

clipboard =
(
Insert
multi
line
text
here
)
Send ^v

Here's my whole code in case I missed something. (The clipboard variables are at the end.) (Sorry that its long af. )

Code: Select all

#singleinstance force
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
CoordMode, Pixel, Screen
^+x::
Keywait, LButton, D
MouseGetPos, mousex, mousey
Sleep, 100
KeyWait, LButton, D
MouseGetPos, mousex2, mousey2
origin := mousex
loops := (mousex2 - mousex) * (mousey2 - mousey)
loopsforx := (mousex2 - mousex)
;loops := loopsfo
MsgBox, %loops%`n%mousex%`n%mousey%`n%mousex2%`n%mousey2%

loop, % loops {
PixelGetColor, color%A_Index%, %mousex%, %mousey%
;MsgBox % color%A_Index%
mousex++
;Tooltip % color%A_Index% 
;Send %mousex% %mousey%

If mousex = %mousex2%
{
	mousey++
	mousex := origin
}
Tooltip %mousey%`n%mousey2%
}
msgbox, "Done!"
return

Does the paste fail, or is it simply skipping the newlines? 'r'n is the newline method that the documentation says to use. Also, make sure you're using clipboard := because it will find the continuation section on the next line; a regular equals sign will trick it into thinking that you want a blank variable and it won't read the next line's parenthesis.
