Importing abbreviations from Auto Hotkey
Yellowstone > 2023-12-02 05:59
Hello,
Is there a way to insert a long list (approx. 800 entries) of abbreviations that I have previously used in Auto Hotkey via ac'tivaid into QAP?
The abbreviations have the following form:
:* C1:dt<:
orn therapy
:*?C1:dup<:upuytren's disease
:*?C1:dys<:ysdiadochokinesis
:* C1:e<::restricted
Best regards,
Heiner -

Hi Heiner,
No. This does not exist. You could try to convert your list to QAP ini file format but this can be quite tedious and take more time than doing it manually, depending on the number of entries.
If you decide to give it a try, this is the structure of a Snippet favorite with a hotstring:
Code:Favorite1=Snippet|Last day of month|Last day of month is: {Now:ld}|iconPaste||||0;;1;0;10;0;0||||||0|0||||||::ld#|||20231201182020|20231202131128||0|0|0|0|||||1|0||
The hotstring trigger here is "::ld#" and the content is "Last day of month is: {Now:ld}" (no line breaks).
You could create a few items manually and then see how to "find and replace" and some scripting (or manual work) to insert your values.
Favorite numbers must be consecutive Favorite1, Favorite2, etc. To add the favorites at the end of an existing file, the first new entry must be added before the last end of menu marker "FavoriteNNN=Z" entry. Make sure to adjust the number of this marker at the end of the list after the insertions.
Make sure you add your favorites to the [Favorites] section, not the [Favorites-backup].
If this possibly becomes a shareable script, you could post it here :-)
