RegExHotstrings

Provides RegEx in hotstring triggering like normal hotstring.

Use Space, Tab or Enter to trigger RegExHotstring.

Usage

RegExHotstring(String, CallBack, Options, OnOffToggle, Params*)

  • String:

  • CallBack:

  • Options:

    A string of zero or more of the following options (in any order, with optional spaces in between)

    Use the following options follow by a zero to turn them off:

    • * (asterisk): An ending character (e.g. Space, Tab, or Enter) is not required to trigger the hotstring.

    • ? (question mark): The hotstring will be triggered even when it is inside another word; that is, when the character typed immediately before it is alphanumeric.

    • B0 (B followed by a zero): Automatic backspacing is not done to erase the abbreviation you type. Use a plain B to turn backspacing back on after it was previously turned off.

    • C: Case sensitive: When you type an abbreviation, it must exactly match the case defined in the script.

    • O: Omit the ending character of auto-replace hotstrings when the replacement is produced.

    • T: Use SendText instead of SendInput to send the replacement string. Only works when CallBack is a string.

  • OnOffToggle

    One of the following values:

    • On or 1 (true): Enables the hotstring.

    • Off or 0 (false): Disables the hotstring.

    • Toggle or -1: Sets the hotstring to the opposite state (enabled or disabled).

  • Params:

    additional params pass to CallBack, check Variadic functions and Variadic function calls, only works when CallBack is a function.

FAQ

How to trigger regular hotstring in the same script?

Set SendLevel higher than #InputLevel (default is 0), and set RegHook.MinSendLevel higher than SendLevel to avoid triggering InputHook recursively.

#Include RegExHotstring.ahk

::btw::by the way

RegHook.MinSendLevel := 2
SendLevel(1)
RegExHotstring(...)

Important

Only last SendLevel takes effect.

Limitations

  • incompatible with #IfWin or #HotIf
  • unable to match white space characters.
