Same again - It seems to be when memory is swapping (for other reasons!) so there's a delay. Also, if there is already a Window open for IE6, the macro seems not to complete and hit the "login" button at the end. Best, Randall

A third option (if you can use it where you are) is to use my "MEBasic" with "Wizard; mEBasic Wizard FolderPickWIZ.JPG

Alternatively, try this vbs script; puts multiple selections of folders and/ or files from multiple folders if needed into a file for selection (eg FTP?) FolderPickerVBS.JPG Lets you pick initial directory. Randall (PS Hey - First time I have a thumbnail to click a picture; by accident, now I can't do it! -How is it done? EDIT -sorry; corrected (missing registry entry for transfer) - uploaded again FolderPickerVBS.mxe

I take your point in a work situation! You would need to get the source and compile it yourself, probably; not worth it. It lists all "clickable links" and "form fields" whether in frames or not, and puts them into a text file to examine - using free programme; "AutoIT". You'd have to 1. Install AutoIT AutoIT download Page 2. Install easy scripting and compiling program for it; SCite Install Page 3. Install latest "beta" for AutoIT Beta3.1.1.55 AutoIT WebSite 4. Use my ".au3" script, and read it and compile it (Alt-F7" in Scite Editor) LinkFrames2_1.au3 Source Script to read Never mind! Best Randall [PS zip file below now has source for Wizard as well; for same reasons] MEBasicWizard.zip

Hi, You can simulate this with pure ME3 by selecting a random file in the file picker, as in my DOS launch macro; only for "Source" Directory, as DO need to select a dummy file DOS launch; "folder picker"; click link Best, Randall EDIT - only for "Source" Directory, as DO need to select a dummy file

Hi again, I agree; cf a similar process in retrieving ZIP coses from a long text file with commas (though I used "text file process" rather than csv as it was quicker with a 30,000 lookup) Link here, on this site; ZIPS lookup Best, randall

Hi, Much quicker, I would imagine! - though I can't quite picture what you have to do! ? post a snippet of code if you need help? Is the problem you are asking about;... 1. How to retrieve the domain name from the site name (or even from the site?). or 2. how long it would take to look it up in the table? Additionally... 3. what is the "long name" you are looking up; is it on the original site, or something you know beforehand to put in your table?? 4. Are you actually opening that "html" site, or just using the name (you already have the html name you mentioned?)? You can see I am not clear of what you need.... Best, Randall

EDIT - I wrote a suggestion that won't work - sorry -deleted This one might! If you are happy to download the "exe" or "zip"; Send me (email below in signature?)[OR just examine the text yourself] the two text files generated with "1" or "0" options; if they are empty, no help?[if they give more info on the submit link, you are running...] (Will only work if you can enter a "url") LinkFrames2_1.zip Best, Randall (Ps See source etc below on this thread.) LinkFrames2_1.exe

Hi, If you found dOS commands useful, here it is with more commands;This link Switches mainly defined Note that DOS "FindStr" allows picking a line of text from text file (or directory of text files) using Wildcard matches ([Regular expressions]) (Wildcard is ".*", rather than "*"!!) MSDOSlaunch1 Attachment below with more help, and more options selectable Best, Randall MSDOSlaunchHelp1.mxe

Hi, Cory, As you know, I am always keen to see new ways of doing things. Best, Randall

Thanks, Kevin, Using %comspec% you would have to change the line too; I will do it later.I don't have all commands running , though; eg "set variable=something"; ? needs change in default directory (as does "attrib") Best, Randall

Hi, I accidentally found an easier way to launch DOS commands yesterday; I have always had to use "bat" or even "lnk" files to get them to work, and I can't see that others have documented these; attrib/ set/ move/ xcopy as examples in this macro. What do you think? Randall (Joe - you also had to use bat files (rather than just launch with parameters) for attrib before?; Attrib bat MSDOSlaunch.mxe

Actually, "Rename" gives me a message that "can't change if folders different", so would not work for you? Randall

Hi, not sure; does "Rename folder work? Else here is syntax for dos using wilcards; probably works for folder? Randall

Hi Cory; I don't know! Work-around is to copy the folder, then delete; does that give same error? Randall

or, on each line in "process all records" of new file, check the returned string for "set integer" by position of found text? Is this what you did the first time anyway? best, Randall

Hi, I thought one of the ME expetrs might have answered this; I am no expert. I would have tried; But is this what you are after; and does it work? I don't think you can do it all in one command, but nothing lost? Best, Randall

Hi1 Just click "Ignore Case" box in 3rd and 4th compare; or fix the lower case letters ! Best, Randall PS Also watch out if you are comparing using "Text" or "Value"; and "Case" commands are easier once you learn them;

Hi, I have the Dates macro working using the "Wizard", though have not posted the latest version, (this script does not work with old versions -only posted as example of command syntax**) as there have been problems and I can't get enough feedback to fix it! It can do your calculations on dates in Excel sheet, and post a result date, without opening Excel; i think this is the way to go for converting my Word macros when I get it running. Let me know if you want to try the Excel commands; they can be converted to not need the "MEBasic" (which I use for convenience), but would always need the "Wizard" running in the background. I would like to know if it works with USA dates too? Best, Randall ExcelDates.JPG Best, Randall

Hi, Cory, Tricky, I think. I have no quick answer. I imagine repeat with folder as you say..... What will be your test? 1. just count the number of files and wait till the count is incremented? 2. is the file new, (or just a copy with an old mofified date?), so you can find its name from the most recent file once you know there is an extra one? Good luck; nice to hear how you go? Randall

Hi, Cory, Hey, I thought I HAD already written it in the previous line in this thread! I used the "Text File Process" as it seemed twice as fast (much more fiddly)! [AND had included possibility of more than one result] What do you think? Randall PS - Check the "Multiple Choice Box" in both "mxe" files above; had you beeen using the %CRLF% like this to build the Multiple choice menu?

EDIT; posted twice "flood control"/ "Server Error"!

Hi, Cory, Sounds fascinating. I had already been thinking more about this since you wrote before. I am stimulted to compromise, and include the setting up of EV like CRLF in a "scheduled startup" macro that runs each time ME starts. This solves some of the problems above, avoids the registry, but still means you'd need to either; 1. run the startup macro as part of every library using your routines ; or 2. add them to the beginning of any macro not run with your library. Any thoughts? Randall

Here it is, correct way! [*** you stll need the ZIP data file in this thread, previous post**, as well!] <1second, reliable I hope! Randall TownFromZIP.mxe
