Brian, Have you tried searching the forum for answers to your problems? There is a fair amount of discussion on this type of subject. You may be having syntax problems which is a learning issue. Even if your code is correct you may also be having problems with application windows not opening at the ...

Try something like this: Readfile>c:\test.txt,file separate>file,%CRLF%,num Let>k=1 repeat>k Let>k=k+1 add>num_1,num_%k% until>k,num_count MDL>Total=%num_1% This assumes each number is on a line of its own, I didn't test to see what would happen if there are blank lines though I think it will pass o...

Something you can do to make dialogs more interesting is to use the image object within the dialog function. First create the dialog normally so that everything is laid out the way you want it. When you're happy that you won't be making any more changes, run the script. When the dialog pops up use A...

Tony, Try using the stringreplace function to remove the backslashes before you do your seperate. Something like this: Cha>U:\EData\SIL_FTP\Dunn\VMI\NEW_OUT\ GetFileList>*.csv,files Let>bslash=\ Let>null= StringReplace>files,%bslash%,%null%,newfiles Separate>newfiles,;,file_names Note that there is ...

Brian, This doesn't answer your original question but: Would you be willing to try modifying your text file outside of notepad? Macro Scheduler does a dandy job with text file editing all by itself. It is very fast and accurate. You can easily make changes using the readfile function to import the t...

If I'm understanding correctly you want something like this:

//leaving out VAREXPLICIT=1
Let>k=1
Let>var_%k%=what i want
Let>message_text=var_%k%
Message>%message_text%

Hope this helps,
Dick

I agree.

My heartfelt condolences to all who might have been affected by this senseless act.

jking, Your problem is that the moment you log onto your server using remote desktop the server's desktop goes to a windows logon screen. When you exit from the remote desktop, the server remains at the logon screen. The problem with this is that Macro Scheduler can't do any "windows" stuff when the...

If I understand you correctly, you want one message at the end to reflect the choices made in your dialog box regarding one to all of the options selected. Note, using subroutines rather than labels for install1 thru 4. Try something like this: Let>MsgString= If>Dialog.MycheckBox1=True Concat>MsgStr...

Judging by your next post, you may have already figured this out but since you posed the question, it deserves an answer. I will also incorporate Luciano's solution to your next post. There are so many possibilities, but as long as you have version 7.3 or higher installed you can use complex "If" st...

Try something like this: run>cmd /c md c:\path\newfoldername If you are using an older version of windows you'll have to replace the "cmd" with command.com. I don't really know which version was the first to use "cmd.exe" rather than the old command.com but a previous post has a reply from support w...

I think what you're looking for is WaitKeyDown. Read the documentation its fairly straightforward. I have never been able to get the virtual keys to work for mouse clicks. I have circumvented this by leaving a message to the user to position the mouse as needed and then press a key (usually the spac...

Prospero, I am by no means an expert in image processing but I would like to know what your expectations are for the amount of time this should take. Using the panorama function of IrFanView I did some experimenting. I created a 250 x 250 pixel jpg and saved it to an 18K file size. I then copied it ...

kpassaur, I believe your first question can be solved by creating a .bmp file with the word "Browse" in it. then specifying that .bmp file in the button function of the dialog. Dialog>Dialog1 Caption=Browse Button Test Top=150 Width=270 Left=200 Height=200 Edit=msEdit1,104,8,121, Edit=msEdit2,104,56...

It would be convenient to have a timeout for WaitKeyDown similar to the timeout for the WaitWindow functions. It would also be nice to be be able perform one action if a timeout occurs and a different action if the process continues before the timeout occurs, again, similar to the WaitWindow functio...
