Hi, Thanks! I'm still working out if it is worth my setting up to use it; but it is working well. Best, Randall

Hi, I agree; don't be so coy! I wonder, as Joe says, if you are not using the "Repeat" command itself to increment the counter, whether you have it set to upset your manual counting?.... Also, simplified example with display (had T1 instead of T50) Best, Randall

Hi, I'm not sure why you say it only "runs once"; "TimeOut" schedule "says" "every "15 mins" [settable], after, [settable] number minutes of idle time....? Where is the problem? - Does it not work? - Or only "set to run" every 15 minutes, then turn off after it runs once? Best, Randall

Also; You Would need to use the "variable evaluation level" to display them, if that is what you want, as in my first post; Display Randall

Hi again, Change the "hi" if you wany; I expected you would have your own input here; Just use a display box thus; ================================================== Randall

Again, Randall

Hi David, We all learn.. Sorry about that. I have jst substitued the Run in macro commands for my previous example here; hope that is clear enouh for now; best, Randall

Hi, It is pssibly working; your display does nothing; try this; [Envionment vars with indices must be re-named or put into a string to display, as I don't think you can use double "%%%%"] for them; "Tax{%N50%}" will give Tax{1} or whatever; "%Tax{%N50%}%" won't work?; but the macro may still be working OK? best, RandallEDIT; I am not really sure of your question; do you know you have T30 set, or could there be a problem with your "waiting for windows" etc and NOT actually caturing anything from your controls etc?; I have really just commented on your use of env variable in display, which may be only another, lesser issue! Display your "T30" to check if it is set; Do you know the env var is not receiving the data?

Hi, Perhaps you see why I prefer to use named variables [Environment variables]. You don't need to use Run Macro in string. You can name them how you like, like an "array". They do NOT replace your other strings (named string "StringT(10)" does not affect %T10%) Best, Randall

True! I have sometimes done your trick; maybe less "clunky" if you like, to set the path from the Window title? Best Randall

Hi, Can you browse Windows Explorer from the "Set variable from folder (prompt)" or similar command? Then you have your folder name from the variable? Best, Randall

Hi, I think "Repeat with folder" needs "full file path" Best, Randall

Hi, Yes; 1. instead of :"alt-v-c" to get the source html text to clipboard, use "alt-v-o" in Opera (and similar in Firefox); then 2. instead of "Alt="Edit Post") as search text, search for the type of link and text or http you want, and 3. change any parsing/ searching as needed (that macro is looking for the name of any image text; specifically "Edit Post" on this forum or similar) 4. change the macro you call once the "Web page" command is run from the retrieved link. Best Randall

Hi, Hey, you want to be really confused>? Try this... I must say, if I am trying to create arrays, I would much rather used named environment variables; at least I can follow what I'm doing myself! Best, Randall [PS, if this does not display for you, you may not have set the appropriate registry entry, as in the example macros? -I could add that, but am presuming you have done that?]

[ie as long as your timing macro IS scheduled to run, check, and stop every 10 minutes, NOT just to stay open counting down the minutes...] Randall

Hi, I think you need to wait for the "Find" window to gain focus, insert your text, prexx enter, wait for find window to lose focus etc; then "Shift-Tab" "tab" enter to hit that link (or tab to the link). Best, Randall [cf the first page in the thread from my signature "WebEdit" - the earliest example uses "control-find", I think, though I prefer the later ways of doing it]

Hi, Here's an example of putting some of your list into strings; or just displaying them in a text box; [use the first box, the 'code", to copyinto script editor, not the script!] Best,Randall

Hi, -use this line to copy; -use this line to read That's OK to send "control-3"; unless you mean in a game or something to trigger separate keys! -Good luck! Best, Randall

Hi, no, mE does not need "then"; just Wait for... ieexplor.exe to terminate [Click on the list box of programs to pick this name] Text Box Display; "next line here" or something similar Process name do not need a path (I think...?) Best, Randall

Hi, I haven't used shortkeys; but I imagine you can workaround thia with a macro to replace "%T1%" with "#%T1%", then replace "##" with "" , assuming you are unlikely to have "##" in yuor text?? Best, Randall

Hi, HOw would i reproduce thatr? -what do you capture?; I would not imagine a time when I would notice, though I have an old macro which opens a Windows folder and does not stop; perhaps post a scirpt to check if there's a reason? Best, Randall

Hi, Perhaps you might start by looking at my "Web log " script on this link; Web click links and script WebEditButtons3.mxe and that thread in general gives ideas. -eg Web page tabs, finds Best, Randall

Hi, I think the approach in the example in my signature for the "zip" post codes might help; text file process to the line in the file you want, don't need strings? Does that help? Randall

hi, Works OK for me too; try re-install of Macro Express 3.5d; otherwise test you macro a little? Insert (instead of delay 5 secs) Best, Randall

PS I wonder if you could use a huge "ini" file instead, so each line is; data11001=Data1,data2,data3,data4 you could then easily retrieve the data string by name, modify it and replace it using the read/ write "ini" commands? Best, Randall [have never done it, though!]
