  1. Paste Option in Excel

    in Macro Express 3.x

    Posted

    I must use the Paste Options button in the right corner of the paste region.

     

    I'm not quit sure what you mean. Is it paste in Excel? If it is, you can do this (I heavn't an english version of Excel so i can't guide you directly). Do a Text Type: <Alt> and then navigate tru the underlined letters, in my case it would be like this: Text Type <Alt>Rc<Enter>.

     

    Hope this help you.

  2. Resetting Keystroke Speed for only some windows

    in Macro Express 3.x

    Posted

    No need to request it. The command already exists: Keystroke Speed

     

    Doesn't it help in just Keystrokes? We use Text Type in many cases e.g. pasting work descriptions (up to 2000 characters) in a field with the use of Text Type %T1%. Take this example, when writing out the text in this case it takes some time, in this macro you could have a much greater speed in the Text Type when writing in the same field. But in other cases you have to have a much lower speed, there for my thoughts about having the possibility to change individualy in every macro.

  3. Opening properties on a macro

    Hi

    Is there someone who experience the same problem as i, when i click to open properties on a macro it takes about 20-25 sec. for it to be opened?

    I have 85 macros in my mex file, has that something to do with it? The problem has started somewhat in the latest months, i have made a couple bigger kind of macros under this period. It's just this problem, everything else works fine.

     

     

    I must stop hanging around here in my sparetime. Now i'm going to play some Call of duty4, it's has some really nice grafics! B)

    Tanks for the tip Floyd!

    In our case we mostly work against the same application, so it's solved with the Text Type Delay option. But we also use the macro to work in just e.g. excel-sheets so maybe it should be possible to set the Text Type Delay individualy in every macro? Perhaps i should post it as an request? Ehh, Kevin? :)

     

    You may want to try setting the global Text Type delay preference. Click Options, Preferences, Delays. Make sure 'Use Text Type delay' is checked and enter something like 300, 500, or 1000 in the microseconds field. This will slow down all text type commands but you may not notice the difference

  6. Macro Tip: Choose the macro you wish to run.

    Hi

    This is nothing much but perhaps it could help someone. As i have trouble finding my own created macros and the right hotkey for them, i've created a macro that lets me choose in the multiple choice menu which macro i want to run. This way i just have to remember one hotkey: WIN+1. Then i jump down to the one macro i want to run, with the help of Arrow down, set with Space and then hitting Enter.

    It looks like this:

    // This macros purpose is to give a possibility to choose the macro you wish to run from a list of all you're macros.
// Choose the macro you wish to run from the multiple choice menu.(Use Arrow down and Space to set,then hit Enter)
Multiple Choice Menu: Choose the macro you wish to run
// Run macro Testing1
If Variable %T1% = "Testing1"
 // Clear variable T1
 Clear Text Variables: From 1 To 1
 Macro Run: Testing1
End If
// Run macro Testing2
If Variable %T1% = "Testing2"
 // Clear variable T1
 Clear Text Variables: From 1 To 1
 Macro Run: Testing2
End If
// Run macro Testing3
If Variable %T1% = "Testing3"
 // Clear variable T1
 Clear Text Variables: From 1 To 1
 Macro Run: Testing3
End If
// Etc. Etc.

  7. Resetting Keystroke Speed for only some windows

    As i have mentioned in earlier posts, we use a delay of 10000 microseconds just to be sure, a couple a days before i tried to trim just only this delay, to speed things up, where running a macro which handles data between two applications. When i went under 3000 it just went crazy and wrote stuff in the wrong fields.

    Perhaps i should explain a little bit more why we have this trouble and have to use this long delays.

    We're very often running against an application in a server located far from here and the application has many fields that we have to fill with data. We just have no other way to approach the fields than with the Tab (Text type:Tab). If the macro runs to fast it jumps and write the data in the wrong fields. We also use alot of Wait for, etc. in the macros. Mostly we copy data, edit and back and forth between Excel and this special App. (Who needs Crystal reports? :) )

    You can easy say that ME is a lifesaver in our work. :)

    Hi

     

    Perhaps this could guide you some. You have to setup the email settings in Options/Preferences.

     

    Variable Set Integer %N1% from Current Year
Variable Set Integer %N2% from Current Month
Variable Set Integer %N3% from Current Day
Variable Set Integer %N4% from Current Hour
Variable Set From File Date/Time
If Variable %N1% = variable %N11%
 AND
If Variable %N2% = variable %N12%
 AND
If Variable %N3% = variable %N13%
 AND
If Variable %N4% = variable %N14%
 E-Mail Send: Know Recipients, Fixed Text, No Attachments
End If

  13. How do I select a specific running program?

    Hi Bridgette

    I think this is what you're looking for, create 2 playlists (.m3u) in winamp, i assume you know how otherwise i can guide you. Make a playlist and add the interesting stuff (movies and mp3 etc.) and the other one with not so interesting stuff. Place (Playlist1.m3u) in perhaps C:\Playlist1 and the second playlist in C:\Playlist2. Make 2 macros one for each playlist to launch, set hotkey (Properties/Activation) on first macro to Keypad1 to launch Playlist1 and Keypad2 to launch Playlist2.

     

    Paste the code into the Direct Editor of each macro.

     

    Playlist1 macro

     

    <LAUNCHDEL2:0:01C:\Program\Winamp\winamp.exe<PARAM>C:\Playlist1\Playlist1.m3u2>

     

    Playlist2 macro

     

    <LAUNCHDEL2:0:01C:\Program\Winamp\winamp.exe<PARAM>C:\Playlist2\Playlist2.m3u2>

     

    I hope this will do the trick.

    Hi Grizraz

    It is not possible to run macros at the same time.

    My suggestion is to do someting like this

     

    Repeat Until %T1% <> %T1%
 // Depending from which file or program you want to copy from you can get the numbers in different ways
 Clipboard Copy
 Variable Set Integer %N1% from Clipboard
 If Variable %N1% < 16
// Do this
 End If
 If Variable %N1% >= 16
// Do that
 End If
Repeat End

     

     

    Repeat Until %T1% <> %T1%
<REP3:08:000002:000001:0001:1:01:T1><REM2:Depending from which file or program you want to copy from you can get the numbers in different ways><CLIPC><IVAR2:01:11:><IFVAR2:2:01:3:16><REM2:Do this><ENDIF><IFVAR2:2:01:5:16><REM2:Do that><ENDIF><ENDREP>

     

    I hope this will perhaps guide you.

    Hi

    This is how i do it.

     

    Variable Set Integer %N1% from Prompt
Repeat with Variable using %N1%
 Text Box Display: Remaining loops
 // Put you're code here
 Text Box Close: Remaining loops
 Variable Modify Integer: %N1% = %N1% - 1
Repeat End

    Hi

     

    This would help, i just haven't figured out how to insert Macro explorer/Macro script code into the post, could someone please explain? Anyway just take the code below and insert into Direct editor/Macro Text and it would work.

     

    <IVAR2:01:01:1><REP3:01:000001:000001:00050:0:01:><TVAR2:01:01:dc><TVAR2:02:01:%T1%%N1%><REM2:Text Box Display is only to show the result in T2 for example: dc1><TBOX4:T:1:CenterCenter000278000200:000:Show the value of %T2%%T2%><NMVAR:08:01:0:0000001:0:0000000><ENDREP>

  25. Searching A Text File For # Of Times A Word Occurs

    in Macro Express 3.x

    To Cory or for that matter anyone:

    Excuse me this is quit off the topic but what a heck, It's just a couple of hours now and i'm off to celebrate a swedish holiday (midsummer) tomorrow and want to be polite and answer Corys question :-). The typical food at the middle of the midsummersday is herring with potatoes, sallad and bread, to all this you drink beer and "nubbe" (snaps) i prefer Aquavit (Skåne (Swedish) or Aalborg (Danish)) and then you start off drinking all night long. :-)

    Look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsummer and Cory it's ok, you can use me as an excuse to drink ones more :-).

     

    Oh, as i'm already way out off this forums topic i would recomend this link http://www.slayradio.org/mastering_swedish_lesson_3.php, if anyone wants to learn swedish, even if you don't, it's really funny.

     

    Sorry Joe, i'm gonna sneak out of the forum now with my tail between my legs...

     

    Skål!
