I am using Autohotkey script for this purpose. I want to capture hotstring while I am sending input from other ahk script. One script having all hotstring such as

:*:qwe:: 123456
:*:asd:: 789456

(Its running in background)

when I send input from other script like here is the code

^a::
Input, Variable, , {Enter}
value := substring(Variable,1,3)
sendInput, %Value%
return

but it not capturing.

What you need is SendLevel

Script 1:

; Does not work with * auto replace feature.
::qwe:: 123456
::asd:: 789456

Script 2:

^a::
    Sendlevel, 1
    Input, Variable, , {Enter}
    value := substring(Variable,1,3)
    sendInput, %Value%{space}
return
