Script to surround selection with: %b

[michaelbeijer]

Does anyone know how I can get this script to work for surrounding any selection with the following text: %b

This works:

Code: Select all

#!b::		; surround selection with HTML bold codes <b> ... </b>
Send ^c
Sleep 100
clipboard = <b>%clipboard%</b>
Send ^v
return

But this does not:

Code: Select all

#!b::		; surround selection with HTML bold codes %b ... %b
Send ^c
Sleep 100
clipboard = [b]%b[/b]%clipboard%[b]%b[/b]
Send ^v
return

Basically, I want to be able to select a word, say "cat", click my shortcut and have it produce %bcat%b

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wow, that was fast. Thanks Tom, it works perfectly!

I recently discovered FastKeys, and am currently in the process of moving all of my loose AHK scripts into FastKeys for easier management, so I expect to ask quite a few questions here in the form in the coming weeks!
