nuggles Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 hello everyone, i have a macro that i would like to automatically repeat itself upon comletion of its duties. is there an option in the editor that i am missing for this? ideally i would like to be able to set it once, for example, to repeat 10 times. from then on whenever i activate, it will repeat 10 times on a separate note, i suppose it might also prove useful, when implemented, to be prompted upon activation for how many times if any, i want my macro to repeat much thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, due to the bug I reported in this thread, you can't prompt in the obvious way at present, in a Repeat Start command. Pending the fix, you could do it with an extra command like this: Variable Set Integer %N[1]%: Prompt Repeat Start (Repeat %N[1]% times) // Place your Macro Run command here Text Box Display: This message every time the macro runs End Repeat <VARIABLE SET INTEGER Option="\x01" Destination="%N[1]%" Prompt="How many times do you want to repeat?" Mask="FALSE" OnTop="FALSE" Left="Center" Top="Center" Monitor="0"/> <REPEAT START Start="1" Step="1" Count="%N[1]%" Save="FALSE"/> <COMMENT Value="Place your Macro Run command here"/> <TEXT BOX DISPLAY Title="This message every time the macro runs" Content="{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang2057{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Tahoma;}{\\f1\\fnil Tahoma;}}\r\n\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\f0\\fs16 Your macro has just been run.\\f1 \r\n\\par }\r\n" Left="Center" Top="Center" Width="278" Height="200" Monitor="0" OnTop="FALSE" Keep_Focus="TRUE" Mode="\x00" Delay="0"/> <END REPEAT/> -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
