Hi, Im new to this tool and ive been playing with it today for a few hours.

 

My problem is that when I try to capture something, no actions are recorded at all.

Ive tried watching the video on how to capture, read all the help files I could find, but still no luck.

 

What Im trying to do is that Im playing a facebook game, and trying to get the Macro Express to do some repetative stuff for me there, so I dont have to spend time doing it myself all the time.

 

Anyone got any tips for a noob?

Capture tends to be sloppy. You would be better off learning to script using mouse moves/mouse clicks and text type to start.

Hello,

 

I will make a script, with a command wait for keypress (wait 2 minutes and 30 secounds). After time elapse, macroexpress is aborting.

Is it possible, that macro express wait for this time and after no key was pressed, that macro will continue ?

 

Thx in advance and best greetings !

You can do this in a round about way. The script would look something like:

Repeat Until N1=150

Increment N1

Wait 1 Second

Repeat End

Hello,

 

I am trying to take a folder that has say, 10,000 files in it, and add a .txt extension to the end of each either through the means of converting each file or renaming each file to put .txt on the end of the file name. The latter option I was thinking would be the easiest.

 

I'm trying to use the the Repeat with Folder option, but am unable to figure out how to go through each file in the folder to do this.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

I did something similar with a macro I wrote awhile back. What I ended up doing was writing a batch script that would navigate to the folder and make a file list. And then execute the batch scrip from with the Activate/Launch function in Macro Express. Here is some example batch script:

c:

cd "C:\Desired Folder Location"

dir /b /od > "Text File Name.TXT"

You will want to put that in a test file with a .BAT extension on it. That will then navigate to your folder and dump all the file names into the "Text File Name.TXT" file in the order they were created or modified. You can then use the Process Text File function in Macro Express to load the file names line by line then use the Rename function to make any changes that you need.

PS you can pass variables to batch scripts as well if you add command line paramaters. Variable in batch scripts start with %1 and ascend %2 %3 ect.

There is an application that I have to interface with in order to capture text from it. The text appears to be in a data grid control type its showing as a data grid in Spy++ and UISpy. I cannot seem to get Macro Express to capture the text from within any of the cells in the data grid. Is this possible at all in Macro Express/Macro Express Pro?

If not does anyone know of any 3rd party utility that can be utilized to get the desired effect?

Any help would be appreciated I have been wracking my brain on this for quite some time.
