Would LAN settings matter? Under tools/internet options/connections/settings, none of those three boxes are checked, which tells me that I don't have any proxy settings. But under tools/internet options/connections/LAN settings, the first box is checked which says "Automatically configure settings"....

I'm new to the HTTPrequest command, so I'm doing my first experimentation with it. Here is the short program I wrote, which gives me a "404 error connecting to host" message when I use the msg>stuff command, even though I can connect to the website with IE quickly and easily via cable broadband. htt...

How do I pick numbers off a webpage?

I'm a stock trader, and I would like to take the current earnings estimates from the following Yahoo research page http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=ups and paste these numbers directly onto my stock charts. I know how to do the pasting, of course, but I can't figure out how to get the numbers off the...

Oh yes, I reread and studied your posts until a light bulb went off in my head. I think I now understand perfectly. Thanks! One mistake I was making early on was not understanding the purpose of the second ">" in the following command line (from your post:) VBEval>Time>TimeSerial(10,0,0),AfterTen I ...

Yes, I understand better now. Thanks. The MSHelp file says that VBEval returns a variable, but in your example, it returns either TRUE or FALSE. I'm guessing that has something to do with your use of TimeSeries.

Thanks as usual for your help,

Unfortunately, I don't know or understand VBScript. Maybe if I took a quick lesson and learned a few basics, perhaps I could understand your script better. But I don't know where to do that, without spending a few hours searching the web and figuring it all out myself. As it is, I don't understand w...

Well, I guess it didn't work for me because I was still getting AM and PM in my time. When I ask for time, it returns something like 1:15:44 PM. So if I use stringreplace to get rid of the colons, as well as the AM and PM, then I can finally work with the numbers. And then finally 1000>900. Now I ju...

StringReplace doesn't work because MacroScheduler still considers the result a string. For example, just as it thinks 9:00>10:00, so does it think 900>1000 because it is still thinking in strings. How do you make MacroScheduler realize that 900 is a value and not a string?

Thanks,

Comparing time

The following macro doesn't work properly before 10:00am gettime>time if>time>10:00,message goto>end label>message msg>time is > 10:00 label>end MacroScheduler (before 10:00am) believes that 9:00am>10:00am. Hopefully they can fix this bug in a future release. In the meantime, does somebody have a go...

Wow, that's fabulous. Even Wait>0.001 works! Although Wait>0.0003 doesn't work.

Thank you for your time, help and understanding.

Continuous loops max out my CPU usage. What can I do?

Hi, If I run a continuous loop in my script, such as label>start gpc>50,50,x if>x=0,end goto>start label>end my CPU runs at 100% usage. That's way too high for me to run this script throughout the day. I guess this is a two-part question. The first part of the question is this: Is there a CPU fast e...

How to change the name of a Button in a dialog?

. Is it possible to change the name of a non-modal dialog button while the dialog is showing on the screen? For example, you could start your script with let>k=red And then in your dialog creation you could set the button to Button=k,10,10,50,40,5 The word 'red' will now appear on the button. Now yo...
