Someone asked me today how to run all macros found in a folder. This simple script will run all macros it finds in its own folder in turn:<\/p>\n
GetFileList>%SCRIPT_DIR%\\*.scp,MacroFiles\r\nSeparate>MacroFiles,;,Macros\r\nIf>Macros_count>0\r\n Let>k=0\r\n Repeat>k\r\n Let>k=k+1\r\n Let>this_macro=Macros_%k%\r\n If>this_macro<>SCRIPT_FILE\r\n Macro>this_macro\r\n Endif\r\n Until>k=Macros_count\r\nEndif<\/pre>\nNote the check to make sure it doesn’t run itself! <\/p>\n
This could be useful where you want a quick way to schedule a series of macros. Schedule this script and then all you need to do to add another to the schedule is to drop it into the same folder (or macro group).<\/p>\n
For a bit more control consider naming each macro with a numeric prefix and then sort the array to determine the order in which they are run. Version 12 (currently in beta) has a built in ArraySort function. Or use this QuickSort algorithm<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
