Doing maths w\ autocorrect script

[Scriefers]

I'm still new to AHK and I'm having trouble with modifying an autocorrect script to do maths and unit conversions on the go, e.g. typing in 5inchtocm and it correcting it to 12.7cm or typing 5*3 and getting 15.

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance force

MoveCaret:
IfWinNotActive, New Hotstring
    return
Send {HOME}
Loop % StrLen(Hotstring) + 4
    SendInput {Right}
SetTimer, MoveCaret, Off
return

#Hotstring R 

::beleagured::beleaguered
::beligum::belgium
::beleif::belief
::beleiev::believe

Can you do that with hotstrings though? Interesting.

Well, you can in principle. But it would be far more complicated than the code in the original post, which isn't even an attempt at solving the problem.
