Cory:

Well, I ran into lots of problems trying to customize this script, so I came back to the forum today to look for other solutions. I saw your post at the top, checked out your macro, and WOW!

I did modify your script a little because I didn't want the prompt box (and it didn't allow CR either).

Many thanks!

Timing issue. I added a delay and it is working fine now

Thanks for your help!

Yes, I did the same with this text too and it first gave me 6 then 5 then 8! I did not change anything - copied the script directly from your reply.

Well, I guess that's the command I didn't get right. I was trying to have the macro repeat until it matched the window title.

I tried out your script and it gave me a different result each of the 5 times I ran it

Your logic is incorrect in several ways. For example, you have asked the macro to repeat the loop zero times! And where are you viewing your result?

 

I'm no expert myself, so there are probably smarter ways, but the following drastically edited version works OK:

 

<SPKEY:0010><IVAR2:01:01:0><LAUNCHNO3:0:0130Untitled - Notepad<LAUNCH:c:\windows\notepad.exe><CLIPP><TEXTTYPE:<CTRLD><HOME>f<CTRLU>><WAITWIN2:000010:000000:Find><TEXTTYPE:View full details><REP3:08:000001:000002:0002:0:01:999999><TEXTTYPE:<ENTER>><IFOTH:03:1:Notepad><TBOX4:T:4:CenterCenter000278000200:000:ResultThe string 'View full details' appears %N1%

OK, I updated the macro to save the window name into a variable and end the repeat when a match is made. But it still doesn't work

Hi,

I am trying to build a macro to determine the exact no. of instances a particular phrase appears in a block of text. I think I am on the right path, but I cannot figure out how to end the repeat at the last instance of that phrase appearing. I have pasted the script I have so far (I hope this is the right way to paste it)

<IVAR2:01:01:0><LAUNCHNO3:0:0130Untitled - Notepad<LAUNCH:c:\windows\notepad.exe><CLIPP><TEXTTYPE:<CTRLD><HOME>f<CTRLU>><WAITWIN2:000010:000000:Find><TEXTTYPE:View full details><REP3:05:000001:000001:0001:0:01:><TEXTTYPE:<ENTER>><NMVAR:08:01:0:0000001:0:0000000><IFOTH:03:1:Notepad><TEXTTYPE:<ESC>%N1%><ENDIF><ENDREP>

Please help!
