Question

I can’t figure out how to use a variable as a math expression. The following code won’t return the expected solution but doesnt throw any errors, instead it will just output the contents of the Q variable again in A.

Q = 7+5=
StringReplace, Q, Q, =,, 1
A := Q

Using %Q% or Q = %Q% doesn’t work. And running MsgBox, %A% after it will just return “7+5”.
Please help as I’m pretty new to AutoHotKey 🙂

This should do it though:

Q = 7+5=
StringReplace, Q, Q, =,, 1
StringReplace, Q, Q, +,%A_SPACE%, 1

stringleft, first, Q, 1
stringright, last, Q, 1

x := first + last

MsgBox, %first%, %last%, %x%
