Subroutine

I'm attempting to run the following script and use the if statement to run the Sub routine 7 times. Problem is it seems to skip over the subroutine.
Anyone got any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Your If line should be:

If>GetCount<GetMax,wordFind

Note quite sure how this is supposed to run the subroutine 7 times though.

I'm not sure either. Thats why I'm posting? But shouldn't the subroutine run every time the %GetCount% is less than the %GetMax%? If not then I'm a bit confused as to how to get the subroutine to run multiple times.

You have to make a loop to increment "GetCount"

Let>GetCount=0
Let>GetMax=8
Label>GetCountLoop
Let>GetCount=%GetCount% + 1
Wait>1
If>%GetCount%GetCountLoop

Label>continue
///The rest of your macro

the "continue" label gets you out of the loop when you reach %GetMax%.

Hope this helps,
Dick

Thanks that seems to make sense. Appreciate the help.
