Just noticed that I should post here... not in beginners section. My bad.

Hello.
I got macro scheduler 6.2.3vb and want to make a macro that opens a browser window, go to a page, get some text and compare it and if it is what I want I get a message about that else it closes.
So far I've manage to do a macro that opens the webpage that I want, I use the mouse to mark the text, copies it with ctrl+c but I don't know how to compare it with another string.
Any ideas out there?

Thank you
Peter

Hi,

Look at GetClipBoard to get the value into a variable. To compare consider using Position to find out if a string is in another string, and where it is, MidStr gets a substring from a string. Use If to do the compare and make the decision.

Thank you.

In the if, do I write:
If>Str="New Addy",Prt
or
If>Str=New Addy,Prt
or none of them ??

If>Str=New Addy,Prt

is the correct comparison. No Quotes around the string or the variable

Pepe,

It depends whether VAREXPLICIT has been set to 0 (default) or 1. Assuming system default, Bob's suggestion is correct. Just make sure no space before AND after the comma.
