Add Date Stamp and a String Fast using AutoHotKeys
0
I am trying to add a date stamp followed by Last Name, First Name
followed by a text. Such as:
::ABC::
FormatTime, ClipBoard,, dd-MMM-yyyy 'Last Name, First Name;'
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll
Clipboard =
(
Text
)
Send ^v
sleep 100
Clipboard := ClipSaved
ClipSaved =
return
But it doesn't work. I am using this version because I need it to be
reliable/not cut the text as it has happened before with:
::ABC::
Clipboard =
FormatTime, ClipBoard,, dd-MMM-yyyy'; Last Name, First Name; '
SendInput, %ClipBoard%
(
Text
)
Return
Any ideas?

SendInput, % ClipBoard " " firstName " " lastName
