Thanks for explaining JRL and Marcus. OK. So the cat is about to die. Curious. It makes the code easier to read. Is that the only reason? I personally always went with inline.(when possible) It just seems more advanced, so to me that said "Better" Marcus.... So here is how I tend to structure my pro...

According to Marcus...... ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Marcus Tettmar, Apr 02 12:33 (BST): No, you just need to use better structured logic. Inline ifs are deprecated and not recommended. If you then want the script to proceed elsewhere once the s...

@JRL I love the vbScript! But you may not be entirely correct. You see, I woke up today and decided I wanted to know how to "decode" the color number that is used throughout MS. So I did some research. I found that the number is created by a couple of steps. First change each of the RGB numbers to h...

Have you tested to see if you can copy the text from said newspaper? I just pressed CTRL A for Select All and then pressed CTRL C. And opened a notepad and pressed CTRL V. I did this after I read your post and ALL the text was copied to the notepad. No problem. MS has a PRESS command to send these k...

I'd like to help, but I'm not clear on what you are doing with the other macros. Or is it only the one with more Arrays?

Can you try and explain more clearly? Maybe you can give some examples?

Hello Everyone, I have something in mind for this macro. Until today, I had NO idea how to do this. Now I have learned how and I wrote a macro that I hope will be usefull to some of you. ENJOY!! This macro prompts for a hex number and then calculates what the decimal number is. let>NewValue= let>mat...

Now that a user no longer needs to initialize a variable, I'm curious if the restriction on the complex let statement could be removed. I am refering to the error - "If statement options must be the same type" Maybe I don't understand the restriction. If that is the case then please explain the reas...

Hey CyberCitizen, RegEx is an awesome tool. But here's how you can do it without RegEx. let>Path=C:\Documents and Settings\ALL USERS\Desktop\Desktop Slider v1.03\Desktop Slider\desktop slider.exe Separate>Path,\,Path let>MyCount=%Path_count% let>var3=Path_%MyCount% let>MyCount=%MyCount%-1 let>var2=P...

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

An ending comment(not meant to lead this on). I have a bad taste in my mouth. I swear I've seen and played around with something like this non-existant AutoScroll!!! URRRR!!! I hate when you can't place something!!!

Thanks again to both of you.

Thanks for helping, JRL.

But I set it to ssBoth and still no AutoScroll. Maybe I don't understand your response. Will you explain a bit more?

Hello Everyone, I swear I remember a dialog property for MSMemo called AutoScroll. But there is no such property. What I'd like is for MSMemo to display the end of the block of text. When you update the MSMemo field it shows the top of the text entered. Assuming there is enough text that the MSMemo ...

Good program NirCmd. I've used it in the past as well.

Someone probably has a vbScript or a better solution. But if the files you want to copy are small, but you want the new files to reflect the current time and date, then you could do this. ReadFile>C:\Documents and Settings\.....\Desktop\scrpts\a Create Button Group.scp,File WriteLn>C:\Documents and ...

I'm curious (again) if there would be any advantage of having a command in MS that would abort a srt. srt>Name ..... IF>result=0 Abort>Name endif ..... end>Name One advantage I see, is it would make scripts neater, easier to follow. Another would be less Labels. (But this likely doesn't matter.)

@Jerry I understand using goto is a less desirable function. That is, if you don't need to use it, or can avoid it, then don't. But curious what your solution might be. Two things. Would you agree an IF statement is a GOTO? Difficult, at best, to not use an IF statement in a program. I write srts al...
