Wow, you guys ROCKS!! Thanks for all the different versions!! You guys certainly put me in a dilemma!! ( on which program to use!! ) But nonetheless, it certainly has increased my ME knowledge!! Anyway, I want to thank ALL of you for the efforts. REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!

Hi I need to do this very often and was wondering if Macro Express can "automate" this for me. I have 2 text files, a.txt and b.txt and I need to merge them together. Problem is the merging is not b.txt appended to a.txt I need the 2 files to be merged line by line. Here's an example, suppose a.txt has 5 lines from a1 to a5 and b.txt has 3 lines from b1 to b3. The output file (can be any name) should look like this, a1 b1 a2 b2 a3 b3 a4 a5 Can this be done with a macro? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Using text variables to store the 2 files would mean I have to make sure the total no. of lines in the 2 text files are 99 or less but I was hoping to bypass this limitations because there may be a need to increase the no. of text files from 2 to N files!!

Hi folks Need some help here. I'm trying to have a macro where part it's running in a loop opening a series of websites in Firefox and after a certain no. of sites, to restart Firefox by activating the Firefox window/browser and pressing Ctrl-Alt-R (using a restart add-on installed). I tried the following but it did not work. Activate Window: "Mozilla Firefox" Text Type: <CTRLD><ALTD>R<CTRLU><ALTU> (Tried "<CONTROL><ALT>R" too) I then tried the following but also nothing happen, Activate Window: "Mozilla Firefox" Control Key Down Alt Key Down Text Type: R Alt Key Up Control Key Up Can anyone help/suggest what I should do in order to send the set of "Ctrl-Alt-R" to Firefox to trigger it's restart? Thanks.

Hi I've been happily using Macro Express for some time now and very happy with it. Some of the macros I use for it is to use it for some logins on some websites (for some unattended surfing). But anyway, that's another story... the real question I want to ask is, If my PC is ever infected with a keylogger virus/spyware, and my macro uses the Text Type function to key in anything from web addresses to ids to passwords, does anyone know if it will ever be logged by the virus as keys pressed and logged, sent to hacker (unlike form-fillers like Roboform) , since the Text Type function is supposed to simulate as if the user is typing the text out on a keyboard?

Hi Just wondering if any experts can help. I have this text file (assumed sorted from col 1 onwards) that I need to be sorted from the group with the most number of lines to the group with the least number of lines. I was wondering if ME can help me to do that?? Group here defined as having same chars from col. 1 to col. 10. Eg. aaaaaaaaaadfkdflsfkfg aaaaaaaaaakddfkdfkrddldf aaaaaaaaaandfjdfk aaaannnnnnfdfjrfj aaaannnnnnhsdjeje aaaannnnnnndfejrejr aaaannnnnnxjdrjdrj aaaannnnnnzkdfkdfk bbbbbbbbbbakdfjkdf bbbbbbbbbbkjdfjdf ccccnnnnnndsfjdfjdfj ccccnnnnnnekrekr33 ccccnnnnnnfkrkrrerjkrek ccccnnnnnnoekrjfjd ccccnnnnnnjerjerj ccccnnnnnnkdfkdfkdf ccccnnnnnnmkfdkfdfk ccccnnnnnntdfldfker ccccnnnnnnxkrk ccccnnnnnn - 9 lines bbbbbbbbbb - 2 lines aaaannnnnn - 5 lines aaaaaaaaaa - 3 lines After sorting, I want the group of ccccnnnnnn to be on the 1st line of the text file, and then the group of aaaannnnnn to be on the 10th line, and aaaaaaaaaa to be on the 15th line and finally bbbbbbbbbb to be on the 17th line of the text file. I don't care how the 11th column onwards are sorted (within the group or within the file). What's essential is that the groups are sorted. Anyone know if this is achievable thru' a macro in ME? Basically, what I'm doing currently is do a search/replace of the 1st 10 chars to get the no. of lines (same for find and replace field). After knowing the no. of lines, I prepend the no. of lines to the replace text. i.e. First find = "ccccnnnnnn", replace = "ccccnnnnnn"; count = 9 then find = "ccccnnnnnn", replace = "009ccccnnnnnn" then repeat for the other groups. After doing for all the groups, I then sort in descending order the first 3 chars (which now contains the no. of lines), then remove the first 3 chars in block mode. Tedious but only way I can think of doing this task. Any smart people able to code this in a macro? Will really appreciate it

Hi Need some advice. I'm trying to automate some login tasks on websites. These usually require me to enter my id and pw. I notice that these 2 fields usually "move" about the screen depending on the size of the advert banner on top of these 2 login fields. I tried using Ctrl-F to look for the "User" text in the browser before doing a tab in order to ensure the cursor is in the user field before entering my username BUT I notice my macro does not "push" the "User" word in the pop-up "Find" window. Basically I did a TextType Ctrl-F ; pause 1 sec and then TextType User but MacroExpress just refuse to type in the text in the Find window. Is it because the Find window is another window altogether? Is there anyway to make ME search for the word User before I do a tab to key in the username? Or for that matter, anyone know of a better way to use ME to do this auto-login (short of getting Roboform or other form-filling software!!) on websites?
