I got a chance to make and test a filter to Print in Eudora. Worked OK but no way to provide a default destination, you get prompted to enter the path and filename, then may have a few windows to close. Since the email client has to be open for the filters to work anyway, then it should be easy enou...

I am not familiar with The Bat, but here is some info about Eudora. It is in the process of being rewritten based on Thunderbird. If you download the latest version, it will be version OSE1.0 and the Filter options are the same as Thunderbird, so you still will not have a save option. But if you sea...

Wondering if you can just use NET USE \\RESOURCENAME /DELETE ? May only work for some connections like mapped drives, printers, etc.

Don't think there's a Windows function that can see out your window and go ping when it sees the sun slip below the horizon. I checked the Microsoft docs but didn't see one ;-)
Did you try SUN or SOLARIS? They sound like naturals. :roll:

I suspect that this is just a portion of the total script. But I don't see a SetFocus that is needed for proper Mouse movements.

don't do check on startup - only when changing to the group manually. I am not doing a check. I have Macro Scheduler in my StartUp folder. It is doing its own check, has multiple paths to groups in mapped drives. But the mapping has not happened yet. Perhaps I could force this to be the last item l...

I have been living with this issue for almost 7 years now. I had come to accept it, but it is really becoming an aggravation (now version 12). Any chance of a permanent solution in the future? Obviously, I don't complain too much, all the other features substantially outweigh this problem.

MouseHover to show variable values in Debug Mode.

A nice feature to see in the Debug Mode would be to show the variable value with MouseHover, like is done in Visual Basic Editor. I know the Watch list is there, but can be cumbersome with a long list, no apparent order that is easy for the programmer to use. So, if I set a breakpoint in the script,...

Is there any VIsual indication thAt happens when the process is REALLY done?
Perhaps a comment on a status line, an icon changing color, etc? If that happens than you could use another monitor like pixel color or screen text or get image tool. That would be done instead of a Wait.

Could also use RegEx to capture everything after the last space char. Don't have access to Macro Scheduler right now, so syntax may not be quite correct, but the search pattern could look something like this: Let>vNeedle=^.* (X{3}[0-9]{8}.csv)$ Let>vHaystack=-rw-r----- 1 57223 6560 148 Apr 12 15:13 ...

I am just curious about your questions here. They are all related to VBA vs. Macro Scheduler. I wonder if you are also posting to any of the many Office/VBA forums?

No access to Macro Scheduler right now, but does this work?

Let>pattern={(.*)%CRLF%(.*)%CRLF%(.*[^}])}

Replace with: $1$2$3

Just curious about why? Are you trying to avoid writing a file that may need to be deleted or moved? Trying to make sure that there is no trace left behind? There may be ways to accomplish that without creating a file or leaving a trail. Can you explain why the need, what you are trying to accomplis...

No time for code right now, but how about this approach?

GetFileList and output to a variable/file
Use RegEx on that output to find the file name (%ogrfile% ?), will not need to separate or loop. Basically one command to get the info.
