  1. HI Cory, Thanks so much. I will look at it again. and try to figure it out. Blessings, Ed
  2. Hi Cory, Thanks for the super fast reply! Uh... you lost me at easy! I actually found one of your scripts on the forum that deleted 5 lines before and 8 lines after. I spent 1.5 - 2 hours trying to just delete 1 random line and pulled out 25% of my hair! I'm not too smart. Can you give me a little more guidance? Thanks so much.
  3. Hi All, I'm sorry is this is covered somethere already. I wrote a macro to select a random line from a text file. It works great (The code is really ugly but it works ;-) Now, my problem is: I can't figure out how to delete that random line from the text file. Can anyone help? Here is my macro <VARIABLE SET INTEGER Option="\x00" Destination="%N[1]%" Value="0"/> <TEXT FILE BEGIN PROCESS Filename="C:\\Users\\Edward Aw\\Desktop\\TEST\\NoName01.txt" Start_Record="1" Process_All="TRUE" Records="0" Variable="%T[1]%"/> <VARIABLE MODIFY INTEGER Option="\x07" Destination="%N[1]%"/> <TEXT FILE END PROCESS/> <VARIABLE SET INTEGER Option="\x05" Destination="%N[2]%" Minimum="0" Maximum="%N[1]%"/> <TEXT FILE BEGIN PROCESS Filename="C:\\Users\\Edward Aw\\Desktop\\TEST\\NoName01.txt" Start_Record="%N[2]%" Process_All="FALSE" Records="1" Variable="%T[2]%"/> <TEXT FILE END PROCESS/> <TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="%T[2]%<ENTER>"/> I attached the macro below. Thanks! Ed random line and delete.mxe
  4. Hi Cory, I tried to launch via command line in Firefox, but it doesn't work or (more likely) I have no cllue how to do it! Thanks, Ed
  5. Hi Guys! Thanks for the responses! Sorry for the slow reply. Yes! I want to launch a specific iim file. That would be ultimate. So Terry, for a FF plugin that could be run on a schedule or when a specific event occurs? Thanks, Ed
  6. Hi All, I found some threads that say you can call an imacros macro from MEP. How do you do that? Thanks, Ed
  7. Awesome! I was just about to post that the split string worked! Thanks, Ed
  8. Hi All, I searched the forum, but didn't see anything. I'm sure it is here. I want to read from a text file that is a txt. The text file has multiple rows with 2 elements per row. For Instance... ----------------BEGIN------------------ apple,fruit turnip,vegetable cat,animal ... ----------------END-------------------- The following code is an adaptation from code that I found here on the forum (thanks to whoever did it). Variable Set Integer %N[1]% to 0 Text File Begin Process: c:\list.txt Variable Modify Integer %N[1]%: Increment Text File End Process Variable Set Integer %N[2]% to a random value between 0 and %N[1]% Text File Begin Process: c:\list.txt Text File End Process Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): %T[2]%<TAB> The direct code is here <VARIABLE SET INTEGER Option="\x00" Destination="%N[1]%" Value="0"/> <TEXT FILE BEGIN PROCESS Filename="c:\\list.txt" Start_Record="1" Process_All="TRUE" Records="0" Variable="%T[1]%"/> <VARIABLE MODIFY INTEGER Option="\x07" Destination="%N[1]%"/> <TEXT FILE END PROCESS/> <VARIABLE SET INTEGER Option="\x05" Destination="%N[2]%" Minimum="0" Maximum="%N[1]%"/> <TEXT FILE BEGIN PROCESS Filename="c:\\list.txt" Start_Record="%N[2]%" Process_All="FALSE" Records="1" Variable="%T[2]%"/> <TEXT FILE END PROCESS/> <TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="%T[2]%<TAB>"/> This code first counts the number of lines in the TXT file. Then is randomly selects one of the lines to put into %T[2]% It works perfectly. However, I need to be able to parse that line into the two elements. So. %T[2]% = first element (before the comma) %T[3]% = second element (after the comma) I hope that explanation makes sense. Any chance this can be done? Thanks in advance for the help, Ed
  9. Hi All, I am trying to create a macro that will open different URLS (separate windows) from the urls in a txt file. I'm thinking that a loop could be used to read each line of the txt file and then a now firefox window is opened. Is this right? However, I am clueless as to how to create that loop that reads down a txt file. I have never done this in macro express. Thanks, Ed
  10. I thought this was an easy schedule but it doesn't seem so! I want a macro to run every 15 minutes based on the system time. I.e. run at 800, 815, 830, 845, 900, 915, 930 etc. I would like it to run between the hours of 6am and 11pm. But I can't figure it out. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ed
