Hi Guys,

i tried to generate a new Gesture that changes a copied file Path.

Structure S
S:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3
to:
P:\Structure1\Structure2\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3

So as you see i want S+ to change S:\ into P:\Structure1\Structure2
I tried the following:

acSendKeys("^c")
acDelay(50)
local clip = acGetClipboardText()
local parse = #clip
string.gsub(parse,"S:\"," P:\Structure1\Structure2\")
clip = clip:sub(1, parse)
acSetClipboardText(clip)

Unfortunately it doesn’t work – any suggestions.

Thanks in advance – keep up the good work.

Regards 3di

To be honest, I don't do much with gsub, etc. However, this snippet seems to work for me:

local clip = "S:\\Test\\Folder\\File.txt"
s = string.gsub(clip,"S:\\"," P:\\Structure1\\Structure2\\")
acMessageBox(s)

Though I'm not sure if that's too simple based on your specific requirements.

Hi Rob,

Nice to see you here and thanks for your assistance - as you could see in my suggestion i thought in a to complex way :-).

This is my final Solution

local clip = acGetClipboardText()
s = string.gsub(clip,"S:\\"," P:\\Structure1\\Structure2\\")
acSetClipboardText(s)
acDisplayText("Clipboard - Paste to S", "Calibri", 30, 192, 192, 192, 1500, gex,gey)
acSendKeys("^v")
acSendKeys("{ENTER}")

Thanks for your help.
