Copy pasting in the background

[marsa]

Hi hivemind

Here is my code [code=autohotkey file=Untitled.ahk[#Persistent

SetTimer CheckWindow, 250

CheckWindow:

IfWinNotExist, placeholder
Return

else

WinActivate, placeholder

sleep,100

loop,2

{
send, {tab}

}

Send, ^a

sleep, 200

Gosub, copy

sleep, 300

WinWaitClose,placeholder
Return



copy:

clip5 =

ClipSaved := ClipboardAll

clipboard := ""

Send, ^c

ClipWait, 1

if (!ErrorLevel)

clip5 = %clipboard%

Sleep, 100

clipboard := ClipSaved

ClipSaved := ""

Pause

return

WinWaitClose,Wimi förifyllnad

return



F11:: ; save clip2

clip5 =

ClipSaved := ClipboardAll

clipboard := ""

Send, ^c

ClipWait, 1

if (!ErrorLevel)

clip5 = %clipboard%

Sleep, 100

clipboard := ClipSaved

ClipSaved := ""

return



f12::

ClipSaved := ClipboardAll

clipboard := ""

clipboard = %clip5%

ClipWait, 1

if (!ErrorLevel)

Send, ^v

Sleep, 100

clipboard := ClipSaved

ClipSaved := ""

return[/code]

As you all can see I want to copy paste something in to clip5 and later be able to paste it on using the code below F12. If I use the code below F11 and F12 it works, but as soon as I try using paste with the code under presistant it fail to copy.

Pause

return

I'm not sure I understand what you want, but the "Pause" command will pause your "copy" routine; and it will not end. Delete that, and just leave what follows:
(I assume, you want to wait to close "Wimi förifyllnad" to copy again)

WinWaitClose,Wimi förifyllnad

return

Hope it helps,

No actully not. I want the script to save clipboard in clip5 and then dont do anything else until wimi förifyllnad opens again. Is the presit tag making the script delete whats in clip5?

"#Persistent" only avoid the script to close itself when finish:
https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_Persistent.htm
So no, it shouldn't do anything; it's the same if you delete it, and keep your other hotkeys (by default, also avoids to close the script).

Just in case: if you use "F11", even without selecting anything, it will delete "clip5" content.
• Try deleting this part, from "copy" and "F11" subroutines (It's not necessary, and deletes "clip5" content):

Code: Select all

clip5 =

Aha I see f11 and f12 are only there as proof of concept. Dont take them into consideration.

The wierd part is that when I use the code from f11 to copy with sub copy it dont work, bit of I keep F11 and put send f11 it works
