Hello, got another question that I'm sure has another equally obvious answer: I've gotten the word-matching thing going so that my boss can trigger a macro by IMing me. I've gotten the macro to gather the data she requests and save it all to 2 separate text files. Now, what I need to do is count the number of times the word "ASSIGNED" appears in one of the files, the number of times "DISPATCH" occurs in both, and the number of times "NEED TECH INFO" occurs in both. Obviously I'll also need to store the 3 numbers to variables so I can then IM her back with the results, but that should be comparatively simple. The farthest I've gotten with that is that I picked the command "open text file for processing." Not sure what to do from there. Help?

Thank you! Alternatively, I also noticed that I had completely missed the "Export as Playable Macro" function, so I can run the macro itself as an executable as long as ME is installed on the system I'm running that on. Works pretty well for me. Thank you again. I will probably be posting another question soon for tips on doing the exact thing I want...just try not to get too advanced on me, hehe.

Hi, I'd like to be able to use Trillian Pro's "word matching" feature or find some other way to activate a macro in response to a received IM. Trillian's word matcher automatically scans for words, and the most "custom" thing it can do is run a program and have arguments on the command line. So is there a way to have it run the Macro Express executable with an argument after that to specify a macro? OR, is there another, easier way to accomplish this just with Macro Express?
