SCREENCAPTURE and number file progressive

Post by mpsinfo » Wed Jan 31, 2024 7:41 pm

Hi everyone, I'm saving screenshots with progressive file names, but my code writes in this way

Code: Select all

Let>cnc=1
Let>cnr=1
ScreenCapture>20,20,3200,1350,Z:\LAVORI\MAPPE\HALTA\ZONA_%cnr%_%cnc%.bmp
the file write is ZONA_1_1.bmp

I would need
files named like this.

il file write is ZONA_001_001.bmp next ZONA_002_001.bmp ecc. ecc.



Can you tell me how I can do it?

Format will help you here.

You could do this :

Code: Select all

Let>cnc=1
Format>%.3d,cnc,cncformatted

Let>cnr=1
Format>%.3d,cnr,cnrformatted

ScreenCapture>20,20,3200,1350,Z:\LAVORI\MAPPE\HALTA\ZONA_%cnrformatted%_%cncformatted%.bmp
Or even just this :

Code: Select all

Let>cnc=1
Format>%.3d,cnc,cnc

Let>cnr=1
Format>%.3d,cnr,cnr

ScreenCapture>20,20,3200,1350,Z:\LAVORI\MAPPE\HALTA\ZONA_%cnr%_%cnc%.bmp

Thanks for the advice, but is that command available from some version of Macro Scheduler upwards?

Perhaps a little VB?

Code: Select all

VBSTART
VBEND
Let>cnc=1
Let>cnr=2
VBEval>right("000" & "%cnr%",3) & "_" & right("000" & "%cnc%",3),vNamePart
ScreenCapture>20,20,3200,1350,Z:\LAVORI\MAPPE\HALTA\ZONA_%vNamePart%.bmp

Even if sooner or later I will have to update my v.11 version, this latest solution is truly extraordinary. I didn't know you could use VB in Macro Scheduler, I'm really still a newbie.
