awesome! thanks again

btw: to be sure, the logic in the last code is that the random number generator is made to not repeat last generated 5 numbers in a row, right?

cool thanks. would it be any more difficult to make the macro not repeat the previous 5 numbers, instead of just 1?

thanks! if i simply use %HOMEDRIVE% without the %HOMEPATH%, then it will put the file directly into C: drive right? is %HOMEDRIVE% always C: drive, even if I have multiple drives? is the file called "random number"?

Thanks! But what is the default folder of C: drive? Does running the macro leave a file behind?

BTW: These are the commands to be removed if I want to remove prompts, etc. right?

Variable Set Integer %N4% from Prompt

Variable Set Integer %N3% from Prompt

Text Box Display: This Text Box Represents The Rest of Your Macro

Also, is it possible to have a lighter version of the macro without the non-zero correction? So that the minimum is always 0 but the max can be changed.

yes, you understand me correctly. it would be great to see how it can be done.

BTW: it seems macro express' random integer generator might have a slight bug, and generates the same number twice in a row too often. even if i set the number range higher, the frequency of the problem occuring still seems the same.

i set the scope to explorer.exe and it seems to work well limiting the macro to the desktop/taskbar. but are there any potential problems with this that i'm not aware of?

yes the 2nd code is more what im looking for. but how can i make the variable stay internal to the macro without showing or prompting for the text boxes?

basically, i just want the variable to generate a random number and then end. but if it generates the same number as the previous macro run, i want it to generate a new one until it's different, before continuing...

Anyone know to make a random variable not repeat the previous X numbers in a row ?

btw: having an option for the random number generator to not repeat the previous X numbers in a row is also good for simulating behaviours such as a lottery draw.

Anyone know how to limit a macro's scope to just the WinXP desktop? I want to make a macro do something when I middle mouse click on the WinXP desktop. Thanks.

Anyone know how to make a macro abort if mouse moves X amount of pixels? What do I need? Thanks.

i just did a clean reinstall of 3.7d and i still have the same problem...

I upgraded from 3.7c to 3.7d and I can't set text type delay to 0 anymore. Even if I uncheck it or set it to lower number, it still behaves as the default 300ms. Can this be fixed?

do u know if logitech mouse drivers allow you to program holding down a mouse key to hold down a keyboard key for certain programs?

nope, im still hoping it can be added

i tried messing around but can't get such a macro to work. can you be more specific? i want to create a macro to rename any file that has "word x" with "word y" [word y can also be just delete function].

Is there a text edit function to delete a specific string of text? I want to make a macro that deletes certain words to make it quicker and easier to rename some files, etc. Is this possible?

ya still looking forward to this...

How about add mouse button down / mouse button up macro activation? So one macro can activate when a mouse button is held down and another macro can activate when mouse button is released.

Is adding this feature possible?

Hold down mouse button = hold down key button. Release mouse button = release key button.

This could be useful for duplicating a keyboard key function on a mouse middle button, such as space, shift, ctrl, alt, etc.

How about add text type feature: Spacebar down / spacebar up?

Useful for certain programs that use holding down the spacebar like holding down a modifier key [such as in Adobe programs].

Is it possible to run Macro Express with personal settings from a USB key? Or does the program have to be actually installed on a particular computer?

BUG: Macros from all categories sometimes show up after I close and reopen the Macro Explorer window. Then I have to switch to another category and then back again to have only the current category's macros show. Can this be fixed?

Using 3.7c.

What does the Win+key red color codes mean? Does red mean they're default Windows hotkey keys? Also, why are some Win+key grayed out? Thanks.

maybe it occurs during high cpu usage because i experience this problem quite often when im running a 3d game and using a text type macro that is hotkey with ctrl+key

I sometimes have a problem with Macro Express not releasing the CTRL key after performing a macro that uses CTRL+key. So when the CTRL key gets stuck in the down state like this, I have to manually press the CTRL key again to fix it. The macro does complete, however. This can also happen to other keys such as ALT / SHIFT. Anyone else have this problem?

Using Macro Express 3.7c, but happened in 3.6, too. I'm on WinXP, Athlon64 4000+, 3GB ram.
