trigger by text string instead of hotkey, also need help with input Topic is solved

[Msprg_non-logged]

Hi,
i am newbie here, so i hope that you help me

okay, so i am trying to make script wich basics principe is:
wait until user will input hotword anywhere (not hotkey),
whe it happens replace text of that hotword by another and continue in program,
next in program is input to capture everything what is typed into var until (enter) is pressed,
then reuse that what user typed as parameter to run another app,
end, waiting for another hotword.

It is not hard but i can not get it work anyway, so here is my code so far:

::cmd-::Run in cmd:
Input, var, {enter}
run cmd /K %var%
return

Problems:

If the hotword string is replaced, program does not continue.
If i remove text to replace program continues, but it seem that on Input does not terminate input (enter) as term key does nothing, no matter what i type.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Code: Select all

::cmd-:: ; Run in cmd: 		<-- ";"
	Input, var,, {enter} ; 		<-- "comma"
	run cmd /K %var%
return

Your problem was that you had assigned the string "Run in cmd:" to when you typed "cmd- ", the rest of the script won't run because you don't have a trigger for it. You also misplaced the end key for the Input, which would make it take input until you closed the script. Hope this helps!

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
:*:cmd-::
	SendInput, Run in cmd:
	Input, var,, {enter}
	run cmd.exe /k %var%
return
