rberq Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I was sent a macro that is (I think) version 2 of ME. I have only version 3 installed. How do I convert the macro to work with version 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just open Macro Express 3 and click on File | Import | Import Macros. Find the macro file and import the macro. A message will appear stating that the file is in an older format (if it is a version 2 file) and prompt you to convert the file to the newer file format. It should then show up in your list of macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rberq Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't have the .mex file, just the macro itself copied and pasted into an e-mail. I saved it on a ME Version 1.6 system (that's all I had for an old version) and tried your method to get it into 3.7. Got a couple dozen abend messages from ME when it tried to convert. Probably it's not legit to store a V2 macro on a V1 system and try to convert it to V3. I was able to convert it pretty well by editing the text file and getting rid of a lot of < and > characters and replacing > by > at the end of commands. At least most of the commands are recognizable now in the V3 scripting editor and I can clean it up manually from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
