I wouldn't say alot. On thinking about my gregorian date request, after a couple hours I easily created a macro for it that I am perfectly satisfied with and that other people would be able to put to use as well.

To be honest, I've found it more rewarding that I was able to do it without having to pay, and I was able to have it do exactly what I wanted instead of having to overly modify something that I had to slap down extra cash for.

I realize that PGMacros hosts this forum and its in their own best interest to push people to buy the product. Though for the time and effort that I just to create my own, I would have been one angry customer if I had gone and paid extra for it.

It looks like this one is almost exactly what you need:

1) Julian dates don't help me. I need a macro that looks at how many days are in the current year, then looks at the current date, and outputs a number for the current date that I can then add or subtract from in order to flux the specific day a file name would be for. What I need specifically is Gregorian numbering system.

2) Looking over the PGM functions library, theres some nice macros in there, but they are too registry intensive. I don't need macros that change anything in my registry as I need to be able to give other people macros that are not allowed to have any registry editing done on their machines. On top of that, I don't really feel that I should need to pay extra for some features that I could create on my own with time and patience.

So, if anyone has some infomation on a simple way to create the macro I need, I'll be working on my own *FREE* adaptation...

Is there a simple way or command to get the current Gregorian date and place it in a variable in ME?

If not, I dread the macro I have to build to actually capture it.

Nevermind, a simple syntax error on my part. Yes variables are supported.

I saw that in the help info that the "If File Exists.." command does not work with wildcards. Does this include variables inside ME?

Sorry if its been posted before, I tried searching and looked through about 15 pages before I made this post. Anyways...my problem is this:

I am currently running the get pixel color command to constantly check a program that is running. When the program is finished running, a prompt will occur on the screen in which case the repeat variable that is running will then proceed.

This is where I get stuck. I then have ME Alt+PrntScn the current window which saves ONLY that small window with the information on it to the clipboard. I then want it to be able to save the image to a folder with the specific "group" number that will remain constant plus the current date.

Example:

1111 is the constant number 051229 is the date. I want the file to be automatically named for the 1111 group as 1111051229.jpg.

The program would then go on to the next "group": 2222. So then I would want it to save the next file for that group and day as 2222051229.jpg

etc, etc through all the numbered groups that I have to save an image for that day.

I can't find a command to save the image from the clipboard to a graphic file without ME trying to specifically prompt for a file name and location. As this script will be run daily during weekdays, I want to be able to start it up and walk away from it while it does its thing and save the graphic with the group number and current date.
