Thanks everyone... I pull http all over my script, just this initial one with nested variables from an URL doesn't get updated... I ended up having another macro to check if the first macro is running, if not start it ....

I am not using https, and it is unfortunate that I can't show my url because everything is localhost... but if I were to stop the macro and then re-run it, I get the new DATA just fine.... If I were to open up firefox and keep banging the url the data value would also changed... I think I'm about to...

I'm sure you've wrote tons of scripts and lines never doubted you, but perhaps something is missing... My url link has nothing but the following in it: <?php echo "data=".rand(1,999999); ?> I recently tried to do this on different machines as well, it does not appear to be my systems... I know the c...

Timestamp does not work... data still the same... but if I stop the loop and restart, then data changes....

I certainly promise you if you do a wait>60 and then go and change things in the text file/url.... on the next loop... it will not parse the new data you've just changed

And IF that file gets updated with new contents? And if that url gets changed dynamically every time it gets hit? Shouldn't the loop pick up new data the 2nd time around as well?

Ok, what if after you grab the values in the text file, I update that text file with new data... will the loop grab the new data next time around? it doesn't seem to do it.....

Ok. Let's parse it instead. If you have control over how the values are stored on the web page then may I suggest you format it like this instead: x=50 y=20 Name=Fred To make it easier if you can set it so that is the only content on the page you can simply use HTTPRequest to get it. Then we can pa...

To save everyone's headache in the future, just ignore MSTSC completely, use Realvnc or UltraVNC... i can close the vnc session and macro still running like a charm!

Was wondering what you guys are using/doing to have your macro running from a remote machine where your only option is RDP/MSTSC to log into the machine? currently, if my RDP is opened, then macro is running cutely - but when there's a disconnect or session close, macro stops...

I mean, if we do CTRL+F to find a text, whether it's in notepad or firefox... the window system finding feature can pin point it so quickly and easily... perhaps it's so easy to use we may think it's a piece of cake doing this with MS? I mean... there has to be a more solid way to search for a text ...

Thanks Marcus... Perhaps my window shuts down too quickly because I have the closewindow command within a If window open... I have nested the ignore command within the if statements...

How do I not have the information popup that says: Specified Window Not Present from coming up every now and then?

Hi all,

How do I not use the static directory path but instead use RunProgram>%UserProfile%\dropbox\app.exe

some machines have different login names there making it static won't be useful...

Thanks in advance.
