/* Function: hotstrings Dynamically adds regular expression hotstrings. Parameters: c - regular expression hotstring a - (optional) text to replace hotstring with or a label to goto, leave blank to remove hotstring definition from triggering an action Examples: > hotstrings("(B|b)tw\s", "%$1%y the way") ; type 'btw' followed by space, tab or return > hotstrings("i)omg", "oh my god{!}") ; type 'OMG' in any case, upper, lower or mixed > hotstrings("\bcolou?r", "rgb(128, 255, 0);") ; '\b' prevents matching with anything before the word, e.g. 'multicololoured' License: - Version 2.56 - Simplified BSD License */ hotstrings(k, a = "") { static z, m = "*~$", s, t, w = 2000 global $ If z = ; init { Loop, 94 { c := Chr(A_Index + 32) If A_Index not between 33 and 58 Hotkey, %m%%c%, __hs } e = BS|Space|Enter|Return|Tab Loop, Parse, e, | Hotkey, %m%%A_LoopField%, __hs z = 1 } If (a == "" and k == "") ; poll { StringTrimLeft, q, A_ThisHotkey, StrLen(m) If q = BS { If (SubStr(s, 0) != "}") StringTrimRight, s, s, 1 } Else { If q = Space q := " " Else If q = Tab q := "`t" Else If q in Enter,Return q := "`n" Else If (StrLen(q) != 1) q = {%q%} Else If (GetKeyState("Shift") ^ GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")) StringUpper, q, q s .= q } Loop, Parse, t, `n ; check { StringSplit, x, A_LoopField, `r If (RegExMatch(s, x1 .
