Advanced - ASCII Text File Process

[r2ks]

Good Day, 

I tried to run the example in the Documentation for this and when I do all that copies to my text document is the Variables it does not read the csv file any help would be great.

Macro Express automatically defines string (text) variable "T" as an array with 99 items.

So you would enter %T% in the ASCII Begin Process command. 

But in your Text Type command, you must specify

%T[1]%

%T[2]%

%T[3]%

%T[4]%

and so on -- brackets around the number.

 

It's possible your macro IS reading the CSV file correctly, but it's just the Text Type command that's wrong.

rberg is right. 

Also when I open a new macro file I immediately delete the 4 standard variables. It's a holdover from ME3 and I feel one should meaningfully name their variables. Also only make them array variables when an array is needed.

Thank you, I did not know they where hold overs. I would also agree with you on the naming of the variables.
