HI,

Not sure exactly Tropic is doing either, but I thought I throw out example of a loopy macro.

In most programs if you hold Shift down and hit the right arrow on characters you will select them. So if Tropic is needing to save the first 78 or 72, that is one way to do it.

Select the characters, copy, then save them to a variable.

Try it in your web browser do this...

alt + d -- to highlight your address bar.

home -- to put your cursor in the front of the address

Then hold down shift and hit the right arrow. If should start selecting characters.

You can select the entire line and use modify command like you said. Probably could ways to do it. Depending on what Topic is actually doing

You could do something like this. There are many different ways to create loops.

This is assuming you are start the macro on line 822

Repeat Start (99999)

Clear Variable %T1%

Shift down

Repeat Start (78)

Right arrow

end repeat

Shift up

delay 150

altec --- (or some kind of copy command)

delay 150

variable set string %T1% from clipboard

delay 150

If variable %T1% = ""

macro stop

end if

Repeat Start (2)

Arrow down

end repeat

end repeat

This is a loop that will copy the first 78 char of for line you are on and check if it is blank, if it is then the macro will stop. If the variable is not blank it will go down 2 lines and do the same. 99999 times.

Thanks

Why do you want random time??

Thanks

I'm new to this forum but not macro express. Is this for a spreadsheet or word document or what?

You want the macro to go to 822 value or you going to start it on 822?

Thanks
