PORegex match of apostrophe in autohotkey script
text
Body
copied!<p>I have an autohotkey script which looks up a word in a bilingual dictionary when I double click any word on a webpage. If I click on something like "<em>l'homme</em>" the <em>l'</em> is copied into the clipboard as well as the <em>homme</em>. I want the autohotkey script to strip out everything up to and including the apostrophe. </p> <p>I can't get autohotkey to match the apostrophe. Below is a sample script which prints out the ascii values of the first four characters. If I double click "l'homme" on <a href="http://www.parismatch.com/Actu-Match/Societe/Actu/Michel-Neyret.-Flic-ou-voyou-340063/" rel="nofollow" title="this page">this page</a>, it prints out: 108,8217,104,111. The second character is clearly not the ascii code for an apostrophe. I think it's most probably something to do with the HTML representation of an apostrophe, but I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it. I've tried using autohotkey's <em>transform, HTML</em> function without any luck. </p> <p>I've tried both the Unicode and non-Unicode versions of autohotkey. I've saved the script in UTF-8.</p> <pre><code>#Persistent return OnClipboardChange: ;debugging info: c1 := Asc(SubStr(clipboard,1,1)) c2 := Asc(SubStr(clipboard,2,1)) c3 := Asc(SubStr(clipboard,3,1)) c4 := Asc(SubStr(clipboard,4,1)) Msgbox 0,info, char1: %c1% `nchar2: %c2% `nchar3: %c3% `nchar4: %c4% ;the line below is what I want to use, but it doesn't find a match stripToApostrophe:= RegExReplace(clipboard,".*’") </code></pre>
