  1. This page shows their font containing them. Probably too ugly for your use however. Maybe someone out there has a font just for math symbols.
  2. I believe the only solution for you would be to find a font that contains the symbols in the ANSI (Code page 437) characters. I looked at a few that sound like CP 437 but they don't seem to work for 242 and 243.
  3. Extended ASCII charts like this all show 242 as that "O" with a feather in it's cap. It seems that most fonts abide by this instead of the original assignment. Perhaps it can't be done. I'll think more after lunch. BTW Unicode is, with a little qualification, two bytes. So MEP will usually only see the first byte and interpret that as whatever it is in the ASCII scheme. So there will be a large number that will always appear as "=" or other random character. It's cutting the character's bits in half.
  4. In Courier New they make 242 (0xF2) "ò"
  5. MAP can not do Unicode. It needs to be in the ASCII/ANSI set. However sometimes symbols that look the same exist in Unicode and ASCII. Like fancy versions. Like how Word changes straight quotation marks into 'turned in" quotes. Most users don't notice the difference. Also it depends on what font you are using. Remember these are all ones and zeros, 8 of them precisely for each character. An "A" can look like a funny symbol in Windings. There is no "greater than or equal to" in the ASCII set. But in the extended ASCII there is one at 242 and 243. But many fonts display differnt characters in the extended. http://www.asciitable.com/ I'll look after lunch if I can get one of those into a message box in MEP.
  6. You're welcome. I doubt it will help but there is a portable installation option.
  7. I remember using A-PDF for many massive operations with MEP. Many good command line options. Free and/or cheap.
  8. I don't think there's a way to get the line number. I never have this problem because I avoid writing any long macros. My macros tend to be no more than a couple visible pages and I create a multitude of sub-macros for distinct functions. It also helps keep the variables manageable. I also will log the entrance to each of these with some information. "Starting file upload" and at the end "File uploaded in X seconds". Of course for X and other variables, I will put them in the log file So the log file entry might be "Uploading c:\users\cory\somefile.txt". I also log errors. Have you explored all the debug features? Why don't you use breakpoints? I've helped many people in the past and they come up with all these strange ways of keeping track of what is happening when they could be using built in tools. Like the "Log Messages" feature or the Show Variables window.
  9. You might see if IFTTT has something to Alexa. I see this page with Alexa stuff. I'm thinking they probably have a Web API so you could use the web page commands in MEP.
  10. Each machine running the macros will need an MEP license and have MEP installed. There's not a means of distribution per se, but I have had installations at companies where all worked from one macro file over the network.
  11. It's been a while since I've messed with it, but there are multiple ways to get a control. If I recall, one can get the control by the control text. I'll look at it later when I have time. If nothign else, one could go through every control to find the correct one.
  12. Maybe try closing all macro files and create a macro file without macros. Just a random idea. Edit: Try remove and reinstall.
  13. Report to ISS first. Just a few thoughts off the top of my head What's the frequency? Are you synchronizing? (Preferences > File System> Network tab > Synchronize the macro file Are you backing up? Are you running MEP with elevated permissions? (AKA Run as Administrator)
  14. I appreciate you just want to move on but here are a few thoughts. Either your settings are incorrect or there are security measures preventing transmission. Malware often is used to make your machine a zombie and send spam so it's a common thing that security software will try to block. And some servers are ficicy about being used this way. I tried my Office 365 server and couldn't get it to work with that script. However I do use the .NET SMTPClient class. One reasons i suggested SendPulse is that it's not finicky and often works when I can't get anything else to work. If you want, I'll email you my credentials and you can try it. It is free BTW. SendPulse is not an email service. It offers a few different services for mass mailing mostly, but use of their SMTP servers is one of the services one can use for free if the volume is low. I would be happy to make you a command line program for you. It would only take a few minutes in VB.NET. Or Ican make it a Windows Form you can interact with using controls in MEP. But I think a console app would be cool. I can have it accept your information as command line parameters. Maybe if the message is large, we could point it to a file. Most of my programs use a email/SMS notification feature, so it's easy for me.
  15. This works for me. I used my SendPulse account. SendPulse is free for a limited number of emails. But it's a high number. I use it for many things. You might consider setting up a free account. In any case, just change the values on lines 5-8 for your SMTP server and your to, from, etcetera on lines 12-15. VBScript To Send EMail.vbs
  16. That sounds like your SMTP server settings. GIve me what you have with your password and sensitive stuff redacted and I'll see if it works with my settings.
  17. Why don't you use the MEP email command? If using VBS, I wouldn't use MAPI. I'd use and SMTP.Client object. So I'm not much help in VBS because either I would do it in the MEP email command, or do it in VB.NET. But the SMTPCLient has the ability to send simple messages without having to create a message object. You might check it out. Just looking around in VBScript I see ones like this that look simple enough using CDO.Message. Sorry I can't help you with the profile prompt. I know that's really the answer you're looking for. However if it were me I'd not involve Outlook unless I had a real need to that I couldn't do with one of these classes.
  18. You're welcome. Also there are some online RegEx debuggers for free like this one which I have not tried yet. I use a Windows program RegEx Buddy which I recommend. If you ever want to play with some.
  19. I don't understand exactly, but I think I'd export to text and grab all the variables using RegEx. Make a unique list for each macro. Them it should be obvious which are needed.
  20. Sorry, I don't have time to write the macro for you now. And I think it's better for you to try yourself and learn. I would use space delimiters since they're easy to type. Like my example. I would split the string based on the delimiter into an array. Then I would loop the number of times as there are items in the array. I would then create an output variable and in each iteration add that value with a comma and space or value "and, ". The condition for which would be based on whether we're at the penultimate item in the array. Say there are 7 items in the array. The condition would be "if count - 1"". Oh, and another condition for the last one which would only do the value of course.
  21. A space would work as a delimiter, E.G. "1 2 3 6 9 13 15".
  22. What if they need a 2 digit number? I think they would need to have some delimiter between each value in that case. It makes a difference on how I would approach it.
