Teddy- You can use "Get Control" or "Capture Control" to set the focus to the window that you want to copy text from, and then use "Clipboard Copy" to copy the text to the clipboard. Pull it into a variable in your program using the option within "Variable Set String" to "Set Value from Clipboard".

Ah thanks! I'd forgotten about the Direct Editor screen because the formating was so ugly but that doesn't matter for large scale search and replace. But is it possible to get the Direct Editor to pretty-print (er, pardon the C++ term) on the screen? When I try to improve the formatting by adding <return> statements, they show up as wierd text things in the Scripting Editor. Is there anyway to add whitespace to the Direct Editor to make it readable without obfuscating the code from the Scripting Editor view? Thanks again, Linda

Hi! I couldn't find anything about this in the help-file. Is there a find-and-replace function in the MacroExpress editor? For instance, if I have a file with 50 references to %T9% and I want to change them all to %T55%, is there a way to do that without changing each one individually? Thanks, Linda

Ah, thanks!

Hi! I'm an experienced programer, but a MacroExpress newbie- trying to get used to the limitations inherent in working with a macro language rather than a full programming language I have a question: How does the Macro Stop command work in nested macros? That is, Macro A calls Macro B. Macro B calls Macro Stop: Do both macros end, or does control just pass back to Macro A? In the later case, does Macro A get any built-in signal that Macro B terminated prematurely, or do I need to add a return status variable? Thanks for your help, Linda
