skwire:
Yeah, I know.   :-[

pagebooks:
At age 79 I admit that I struggle with contemporary technology, but I have skwire's script up and running and I'm very pleased with the results. Thanks, I'll make a donation.

I still don't quite get what SubStr() is doing, but from a forum snippet I added the "6 digit" part


--- ---
mySerial := 1
myFactor := 2

^g:: ; Ctrl+G, change to whatever you want.
{
mySerial := SubStr("000000" . mySerial, -5)
    SendInput, % mySerial
    mySerial += myFactor
}
Return

I don´t know AHK very well, but I can imagine SubStr() is Substitute String. Which brings me to the next point, that you are effectively converting your integer to a string. The proper way do it is converting the return value and leaving the integer alone:


--- ---
mySerial := 1
myFactor := 2

^g:: ; Ctrl+G, change to whatever you want.
}
    SendInput, % SubStr("000000" . mySerial, -5)
    mySerial += myFactor
}
Return


I don´t know if AHK cares about it, but it´s good practice in programming and other languages would not accept such an implicit conversion. ;)
