String Variables - "global" Question

[cuppanews]

Hi...

 

I want to define some string variables in one macro, and then be able to access them with another macro. Is this possible in an efficient way (i.e., not having to write them to a file)?

 

Thanks.

Variables defined in one macro are automatically available to any macro called by a Macro Run command from within that macro.

 

If that is not possible then you need to save and restore the variables some way. There are several techniques:

// Save / restore all text variables (%Tx%)
Variable Save Text Variables
Variable Restore Text Variables

// Save / restore all variables
Variable Save All Variables
Variable Restore All Variables

// Save / restore a single variable using an .INI file
Variable Modify String: Save %T1% to INI File
Variable Set String %T1% from INI File

// Save / restore a single variable using the environment variables
Variable Modify String: Save %T1% to Environment Variable
Variable Set String %T1% from Environment Variable

// Save / restore a single variable using a text file
Variable Modify String: Save %T1% to Text File
Variable Set String %T1% from File: "T1"

The 'Variable Save' command saves the variables in memory.

Thank you, Kevin. That's exactly what I was trying to figure out, though I'm embarassed that I didn't see these commands. (As you may have guessed, I'm new to MacroExpress.)
