Macrp Express pro - Version
redwards replied to sathiya Sugumaran's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
I know this isn't the full answer you are looking for but this is how I tell what version each macro is Variable Set From Misc "Name of Current Macro" into %MacroName% Variable Set String %Version to "v2014.04.28" . . Log Messages to Default Error Log %MacroName% - %Version% This writes to the standard log the name of the macro and it's internal version. I use the date I last made a change (Year.Month.Day). You can set %Version% to anything you like. -
Thanks for the Checkbox article, I have never been able to figure a method to handle checkboxes.

I use the macro logs a lot. I'm not sure is this is a problem or not. When a macro writes to it's log file, it appends it's Index number to the file name. For example if I had a macro called "MEP Report" and it's index was 100. When it creates it's log file, it would be "MEP.Report100.txt" Now if I call the macro "MEP Report" from a 2nd macro call "Test" and it's index is 50, the log file is different. In my case it was "MEP Report99.txt" (the index of the called macro less 1) Is this bug or is this the way things should work?

I know you can print a macro from the editor. But I would like to print a listing of the variables. In addition, place an indicator next to any variable not being used within the script Please add this to the WISH LIST for future development Thank You

I have this is a MEP script. It is a one liner (Text Box Display) - I use it a reference ALLUSERSPROFILE = %ALLUSERSPROFILE% APPDATA = %APPDATA% LOCALAPPDATA = %LOCALAPPDATA% COMPUTERNAME = %COMPUTERNAME% COMMONPROGRAMFILES = %COMMONPROGRAMFILES% COMSPEC = %COMSPEC% HOMEDRIVE = %HOMEDRIVE% HOMEPATH = %HOMEPATH% OS = %OS% PATH = %PATH% PATHEXT = %PATHEXT% PUBLIC = %PUBLIC% PROGRAMFILES = %PROGRAMFILES% SYSTEMDRIVE = %SYSTEMDRIVE% SYSTEMROOT = %SYSTEMROOT% TEMP = %TEMP% TMP = %TMP% USERNAME = %USERNAME% USERPROFILE = %USERPROFILE% WINDIR = %WINDIR% Other Examples I've used are: --- Desktop %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ --- Documents %USERPROFILE%\Documents\ --- Favorites %USERPROFILE%\Favorites\ --- Pictures %USERPROFILE%\Pictures\

Faster test for empty clipboard
redwards replied to terrypin's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
The same holds true for VisualBasic 6. I always use the command If Len(variable) = 0 Than. Numeric compare are much faster than string compare. I don't know what language Macro Express was created with but I guess the same holds true for that complier. -
WOW. I didn't think this would be so big. Anyway. To state the problem again. I have two macros, both have logging turned on. Macro A runs at 5:00 PM and Macro B runs at 9:00 PM. Below are the logs 02/24/2013 05:00 PM: Macro Started (Macro A) 02/24/2013 05:00 PM: Macro Completed (Macro A) 02/24/2013 09:00 PM: Macro Started (Macro B ) 02/24/2013 09:00 PM: Line 1: Macro Run 02/24/2013 09:00 PM: Macro Completed (Macro B ) Why doesn’t Macro A record it has been run at 9:00 PM. You can see in Macro B's log, it run Macro A

Under Misc. Log All Errors
-
I've created a Macro and it is activated using a scheduled event. I need it to run twice a day so I made a 2nd Macro (again using scheduled event) to run the 1st. When I look ate the log files I see * The 1st Macro runs at it's scheduled time. * The 2nd Macro runs at it's scheduled time. Why dosen't the 1st Macro record anything in it's log about being run the 2nd time?

Read "Macro Nickname" into a variable
redwards replied to suns11111's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
You could turn on "Log All Errors" on the Misc tab for the Macros you want to track or you use "Log All Errors" under Preferences, Playback, Misc. This would record a brief message in a text file something like this 11/30/2012 10:05 AM: Macro Started (MACRO NAME) 11/30/2012 10:05 AM: Macro Completed (MACRO NAME) 12/31/2012 10:05 AM: Macro Started (MACRO NAME) 12/31/2012 10:05 AM: Macro Completed (MACRO NAME) Would you then have to process these file(s) using a loop -

Array loading with ASCII File Process vs Split
redwards replied to Cory's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
You could copy the file to a temp folder on the local hard drive, then do your processing. When your done, delete the file. This assumes your shared CSV files are static. -

Can't set folder to save Notepad file
redwards replied to wsigler's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
I think Notepad defaults to the current user's "My Documents" folder. So any folder structure would start from there. And don't forget about networked drives. Why not just use <Ctrl><S> to bring up Notpad's save dialog box and let the user select the folder, yuo could pre-fill in the file name. -

MEP Autopasting in Excel 2007 Unexpectedly
redwards replied to jrgreenman's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
I use ClipMate v7 with MacroExpress Pro. The only time the two don't play well together is when I want to use a feature in ClipMate called PowerPaste. When I need the PowerPaste feature I disable MEP then re-enable after. But I use PowerPaste rarely. Other than that I run both together all the time. -
Well thanks guys. It doesn't look like it's an easy thing to do. And sorry about misspelling the title, it should have read "Disable"
