Thanks Samrae...

Hope Jeff won't mind me hijacking his thread, but it is kind of relevant ..what programming language is Macro Express under the hood? Is that a daft question. I wouldn't be surprised...!!

It was just a simple typing error !! The registry value was missing a backslash \ Doooh However that program is a gem.. potentially very useful.. Thanks Cory!!

Hi again.. I can't understand what's happening here. I'm using ME Pro Portable. A selection of my macros write to the registry. On one PC with which I do most of my work, everything works fine. I created all the necessary registry keys on another PC in order to be able to work on that PC. However I'm seeing a lot of errors Eg. Line 7: Debug error: Could not access the specified registry value. With one macro, by elimination, I determined that this error would happen when there was no value set in the registry key. I wrote values to all the keys referenced in that macro and it now works fi

Thanks Samrae (and Cory for the guidance) I have the whole thing working now. The mistake I made was saving the .csv as UTF-8. The other option got rid of the squiggle... Thank you !!!

I have had a go at this using my two columns of data saved as a .csv. I am seemingly getting the correct pairs of values (giving me hope!) apart from at the very first iteration I'm getting this odd symbol ... 0 I placed a text box between Ascii file begin process and ascii file end process %T[1]% %T[2]% %T[3]% %T[4]% %T[5]% %T[6]% %T[7]% %T[8]% On running it I'm seeing 0 1 -1 0 0 1 -1 1 They are all the correct values for the start of the series. I guess I just need to trim that first value back to a 0 assuming the garbl

Thank you very much Cory. Here is the file... two columns ready.xlsm

Hi again! I have been experimenting with VBA in Excel. I have succeeded in creating two columns of values ( representing mouse coordinates) which I have stored in an array variable. What is the best method of getting that variable over to ME Pro? I assume registry write is an option. Will the format of the array be compatible? Excel is very good at doing what I'm trying to achieve (relative position of pixels) but I always fear that solutions that would be obvious to an experienced programmer would be lost on me! Thanks...

That did it Cory..thanks very much.

Elegant is not the word...it works!! Thanks.

Hi again. Thanks Cory and rberq for your leads .. in the end I gave up on length of string in favour of sampling the first character. This macro does work very well, but the use of "If variable %LOOP[1]%" in lines 23-27 seems rather inelegant. Is there a more efficient way of passing these values to a predefined array?

Hi again. Of course I am learning all the time (as I'm sure we all are) but in my case evidently I'm a lot lower down the snakes and ladders board. I do have a working macro now, with some issues. I have used the length of the string to eliminate lines that do not contain x or y. I'll take a look at the split function suggested by Cory later when I get back from work.

I have made some progress .. 1) How do I "pass" the values to an integer array variable 2) How can i get it to ignore the lines that start with a 5 3) What if the length of the number is only 3 digits (this will happen)? Thanks!! STRIP VALUES.mex
