If

[tobyelliott]

Hello. I am new to this forum and I really need help with this macro on macro express.

 

Im trying to create a macro which finds a specific word on a web page.

 

If the word is found I want it to open another macro which I have made.

 

However, what I have done doesnt work as such.

 

 

 

Here's what I have:

 

Activate Window. "Windows Internet Explorer"

 

Then I want to click edit at the top of the web page. Select All

 

Clipboard Copy

 

Variable Set String %T1% from Clipboard

 

If Variable %T1% contains "word"

 

Macro Run: The "word" was found

 

End If

 

 

I cant get the macro to find a word on a web page and then open another macro which I have.

 

Should I use If Control %C1% ( %C1% being word, for example. ) Visible or If Variable %T1% contains "word"

 

Cheers.

It sounds like you're on the right track, where is it failing?

 

I don't understand your last comment about using controls.

 

BTW you can and should used named variables and divorce yourself from the old ME# variables.

I managed to complete this macro without having to use a variable. In the end, I decided to use If Clipboard rather than If Variable or If Control.

 

< ACTIVATE2:word - Windows Internet Explorer><WAITWIN2:000010:000000:word - Windows Internet Explorer><SPEED:00001><MMS2:57,69><LDN><LUP><MSD:1295><MMS2:69,142><LDN><LUP><CLIPC><IFOTH2:16:1:word.><MACRUN2:word.><ENDIF>

 

Simple.

 

Oh and thank you very much for your interest Cory. Have a great day!

To start the macro you can select from "Activations" looking for "window title" [Picture]

 

To optimize your code use the key Strg.+A to select all text from webside without mouse click.

 

Here is the optimized code:

<WAIT FOR WINDOW TITLE Title="word - Windows Internet Explorer" Partial="TRUE" Wildcards="FALSE" Indefinite="FALSE" Hours="0" Minutes="10" Seconds="0"/>
<DELAY Flags="\x02" Time="300"/>
<COMMENT Value="Select all text at the window"/>
<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<CONTROL>a"/>
<DELAY Flags="\x02" Time="300"/>
<COMMENT Value="Copy and check the text"/>
<CLIPBOARD COPY/>
<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="1"/>
<IF CLIPBOARD Option="\x01" Text="word." CaseSensitive="TRUE"/>
<MACRO RUN Use_ID="FALSE" Name="word." ID="-1" Wait="TRUE"/>
<END IF/>

 

Why do you want to start another macro if you can do everything in one?
