When I say: genre [Australian music;Heavy metal (Music);Rock music]
Code: [Select]
Set Windows clipboard to '{CMDSEGMENT:1}'
Press Left Ctrl+V keys and hold for 0.1 seconds and release

The output is "australian music" or "heavy metal (music) or "rock music"

How can I set the clipboard with the case as I have it in the command or translate it to sentence case? The only options appear to be title case or all upper/lower case.

I have played around a bit with the 'Set a Text Value" function with no luck. If I can get it to work I might have a few dozen different genres listed so using if statements to write the text would be time consuming to set up.

Thanks

Recognized predefined text will be lowercase, that is not specific to that token.

If you want to use the exact case entered into the "When I say" field, you'd need to retrieve the contents of the field (E.G. using the "{CMDWHENISAY}" token or the WhenISay() method in an inline function), parse and split that, then match it to the recognized text (using a case-insensitive comparison).
Using an inline function for this would likely be the more efficient method.


If you are referring to using the "Set a Text Value" action directly with a token, you'll want to read the documentation on tokens, to gain an understanding of why that cannot work.

This topic may also be of use, in addition to the official documentation:
