Saving a macro to a different name

Why when I save to a different name does the new name fail to appear in the list of macros either under all macros or general? It is in the MS directory. I have had to import it manually.

Some more ideas: 1. Have the ability to continue at full speed after a breakpoint. 2. let two breakpoints in a script mean that debug mode starts at the first and stops at the second with the script continuing normally. 3. Prevent the scriptr from being changed if the script is being run in debug mo...

Debugging Ideas

I have really struggled with writing a particular script. It was not obvious why it was not working properly. I would have much appreciated the following: 1. A way of slowing down the code execution only if the script was run from within the editor, and in that mode the cursor moves down the script ...

My macro is proceeding very well. At one point it is in a sub routine and I want it to leave it and go back to the top of the calling routine that is marked by a label>start.

Could goto>start in the middle of the subroutine cause any instability?

I:\temp\temp.txt ReadFile>I:\temp\temp.txt,dir_list //Separate the variable dir_list by %CRLF% and you have your list all assigned to variables. This has the added attraction that the full path will be included with each file name. Bob: Thanks for your help. I now have that part working but I would...

I also tried the VB approach with no success. This is because the script jumps over all the lines between vbstart and vbend. Another problem is that I think I should have changed some of the items in brackets, but I am unsure which need to be changed. Is folderspec needing to be changed to the actua...

I tried the dos approach first because it looked the easier to understand. However when I run the script in debug mode it steps through each line but there is no activity. THe cmd dos window does not open, and no file is created in I:\temp\ This is all I put into the macro. There is nothing before i...

High CPU useage

According to the Win Taks manager, MSsched.exe was taking up a high level of cpu resources. The CPU was running at 100%. I closed MS and the cpu useage dropped to 19%, then reloaded it and it has stayed low. What should I look at to prevent that happening. I have noticed in earlier posts a reference...
