Need help with a project

[vvdee]

Hello i need help with a project, im stuck on some parts which are probably easy for you.

1)

Code: Select all

000001 := A example
000002 := B example
000003 := C example
000004 := D example
000005 := E example

F2::
Random, randNum, 0, 5
formattedNum := Format("{:06}", randNum) 
Clipboard := formattedNum
sleep, 250
send, %formattedNum%
sleep, 250

~When i press F2 it generates random number but i need it to send the text defined for that number, so how can i do that? Also i will define more than 300 text, so you can suggest if there is better way like getting defines from another txt file or something instead of putting them in ahk script

Code: Select all

F3::
{
    filePath := "C:\Users\W11\Desktop\x\000005\readme.txt"
     FileRead, fileContent, %filePath%
    

    Clipboard := fileContent

}
Return

2)~And i want to use generated number as folder name to find file location like:

Code: Select all

filePath := "C:\Users\W11\Desktop\x\%formattedNum%\readme.txt"

So how can i make it work?

Thanks

Hallo,
use Arrays https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/Objects.htm#Usage_Simple_Arrays

Code: Select all

Text := {} ; Array
Text.Push("A example","B example","C example","D example","E example")
F2::
Random, randNum, 1, Text.Length()
SendInput,% Text[randNum]
Return

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11
000001 := "A example"
000002 := "B example"
000003 := "C example"
000004 := "D example"
000005 := "E example"

F2::
Random rnd, 1, 2
num := Format("{:06}", rnd)
SendInput % "{Text}" %num%
Return

F3::
Random rnd, 1, 2
FileRead txt, % Format("{:06}", rnd) "\snippets.txt"
SendInput % "{Text}" txt
Return

Explained: Expressions

:= is always followed by an expression, never a literal string.

Also...

From https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/Concepts.htm#names

Although a variable name may consist entirely of digits, this is generally used only for incoming command line parameters. Such numeric names cannot be used in expressions because they would be seen as numbers rather than variables. It is best to avoid starting a name with a digit, as such names are confusing and will be considered invalid in AutoHotkey v2.

I would use one array otherwise you may end up juggling 300+ variables


Additionally you can shuffle an array, and pull from the end. If a random non-repeating order is ever desired
