jsampsonyyyyy Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Is it possible to run a non-window program such as sed within a macro? It may be a way of using regular expressions within a macro, as Macro Express Pro does not have regular expressions. I would need to be able to feed a string variable to sed and use the output within the macro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rberq Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Look at the Launch and Activate command under Windows/Programs. You can launch a program and pass it parameters. Then maybe have your macro wait in a Delay command or a Repeat loop (with delays built in) until the launched program finishes -- either wait a specified time interval or for the program to create a file or Registry entry containing its results, or something of the sort. Then retrieve the results of the launched program and continue processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
