Macro.Dat reader

Post by JRL » Fri May 12, 2006 10:35 pm

In response to a post by jpuziano here, I have this script I was working on a while ago (but haven't completed) that reads your macros.dat file. It will show all of the settings for all of your scripts. The not completed part is: if the field name in the dialog is a number, I don't know what that field represents. Specifically: 11, 16, 19, 21 and 23. Also, I've done nothing to comment the script for readability and understanding. As it is, you still might find it useful. In any case I don't believe it can cause any damage. If you have many scripts (I have 434) it may run slowly. Be patient.

Later,
Dick

I modified the labels to conform with the information in Marcus' post below.

Edit-X 09/22/2006
No matter what I disable, this code will not post properly so I removed the text area. If you copy and paste this, copy only the green text and be sure to remove any trailing spaces.

Hi JRL,

Just wanted to say thanks for that... your contributions to this forum are much appreciated.

11: Reserved
16: Last run date
19: Schedule Enabled Indicator (1 yes, 0 no)
21: Run when window flag (H: Hidden, V: Visible)
23: Running indicator (I: Idle, R: Running)

Note that some fields won't change until Macro Scheduler is restarted - this script reads from the data file, whereas Macro Scheduler loads this into memory on startup and works in memory.
