How to make script to paste something in with AutoHotKey

I'm trying to make a script in AutoHotkey where, when I press Numpad 1, it presses the slash button, then pastes in some text, let's say "hello world", and then presses enter, but I can't figure out how. Can someone help?

Assuming that you already have some text copied inside your clipboard before pressing the numpad1, the following code will work.

Numpad1::
    Send, /^v    ; ^ means ctrl key,
    Send, {Enter}
return

Welcome to Stack Overflow.
In the future, try to at least show what you tried. All of this should be accomplished pretty easily by e.g. looking at the beginner tutorial combined with a quick Google search.

But well, here it is: 

Numpad1::
     Clipboard := "/hello word"
     SendInput, ^v{Enter}
return

Numpad1:: creates the hotkey label.
Clipboard:= ... puts something into the clipboard.
SendInput sends input.
^v means Ctrl+v.
{Enter} means the enter key (could've possibly appended `n (line feed) into the string as well).
Return stops the hotkey label's code execution (in other words, ends the hotkey's code).
