ok i got the macro to run via the scheduler, but the keystrokes do not get registered on login. it shows that the macro does run as the icon shows on the bottom. even just pressing the < win > key doesnt bring up the start menu. But if i run it manually it does work. i even put a 3 sec delay.

After at login trigger in Task Manager, I can only put in the option of selecting to run a file but not press any buttons to activate the macro. Any examples of this?

There isn't an activation option to run a macro when I login to my computer from a remote session. I'm using Splashtop and Teamviewer and want to run a macro when I login. Logging in involves the standard win10 login screen. What are some methods to get this to work? I tried resolution change, but that doesnt work as resolution doesnt change on login.

is there a way to do api calls to and from an url endpoint using macros?

Is there a way to create cipher text like ROT13 with a string in macro express? I want to be able to copy some text and modify this string and encrypt it with a cipher like ROT13.

thanks cory, but was just wondering if thats in macex. guess not. do you know if there are any plans to integrate something like this?

I have a variable string and I want to be able to make a POST to pastebin.com to save my variables. Does macroexpress provide such a functionality to do POST or GET request from a URL without having to open a browser?

This would be really useful as we can consume JSON data from say twitter or other REST api services online.

I manipulating some variables and i need to do modulus division as I need the remainder of 2 numbers i'm computing. How can I do modulus division?

thanks!

I'm trying to do a basic conditional if statement. I want to compare X to an array variable I have set. I basically have a preset array of strings I want to match a given variable to.

I currently have this:

http://prntscr.com/4n8ll0

if %name% = %name_ban[]%

I left out the number inside the bracket to match the entire array. can this be done or is there another method to match a variable to a set of strings within an array?

that seems to be only one line entry... i have a bunch of password that i just put in a text box with line breaks in between. how do you go about doing that?

if macro express made backups without showing the variables exposed, this would solve alot of problems.

hi,

just noticed that the macro express backup files are not encrypted. I have a bunch of macros that are password protected, but you can still see all of the text strings in the backup file. Does anyone have a solution to encrypting the variables so it doesnt show up as plain text in the backup files?

thanks

doesnt work.. it shortened.. i try to output the following decimal in a message: .2938928392839292382

it outputs as 4.35E-31

see here: http://prntscr.com/40t753

how can one solve this issue? i have to sum a couple of these numbers up and paste it back out, but the output is shortened.

hi,

i want to make password manager and was wondering if macros can store dynamic data. say edit a textbox and then store that in a variable and then recall it back a couple of days later with the same edited information?

if not what other solutions are there? currently i have to edit the macro itself in order to change the data.

thanks

what was your solution?

what about floating numbers like: .0230982039223 ?

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script which involves the following large decimal numbers: .000001 and .00001

When using the decimal variable it only goes up to .0001 and when storing anything larger than that I get a hex value equivalent. This poses a problem as when you paste it back into a field. It comes out with 1^EF or something like that.

Currently I have no choice but to set it as a string and then loading up the Calculator app and paste it in there to do the calculations. Its kind of crude, but works for now until MEP supports float variables or the equivalent.

Whats another work around does everyone else have?

thanks

how to kill a macro without clicking on green icon? I used to do it but i forgot what was the key. This tip isnt very easily documented as it seems.

Hi all,

I'm from NYC and was curious how many others are from nyc too. I want to startup a meetup group specifically for macro express where everyone can come together and share knowledge.

thanks!

Proposal - Macro Express Community on Stackexchange Q&A

Hi all,

Sorry to intrude, but I just started a new stack exchange Q&A area for macro express and would like everyone to pitch in and help get this proposal passed. I'm an avid macro express user, but its really hard to find a good place to get questions answered besides this forum.

Please help support the growing macro express community: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/49648/macro-express-windows-automation-tool?referrer=BusOzT0bacooh9wd2t83TA2

Thanks!
