Text variables

[zopita]

Hi!

I have some text variables: variable1, variable2, variable3, etc.
For each one I must make some tasks in Word (search and replace). I maked the script for this tasks, but I need:

execute some times the script for variable 1
then
execute some times for variable2
then
execute some times for variable3
etc.

How can I make it?

Thanks!

Not sure what you are doing, but maybe this will help.

Code: Select all

Let>Variable1=abc
Let>Variable2=def
Let>Variable3=ghi
Let>Count=0

Label>SomeProcess
Let>Count=Count+1
Let>SearchValue=Variable%Count%
MessageModal>Search value is %SearchValue%
// Copy Variable into clipboard and paste into Search field in Word
PutClipBoard>%SearchValue%
// Move to Search field and past from clipboard
Press>CTRL
Send>v
Release>CTRL
Wait>10
If>%Count%=3,End,SomeProcess

Label>End

Hi zopita,

execute some times the script for variable 1
then
execute some times for variable2
then
execute some times for variable3
etc.

How can I make it?

The simple way would be to make three separate scripts and assign each one a separate Hot Key, lets call them Hot Keys 1, 2 and 3.

Use would then be as follows:

1) hit Hot Key 1 to execute for variable 1
2) hit Hot Key 2 to execute for variable 2
3) hit Hot Key 3 to execute for variable 3

Rereading your request, I wonder if this is what you meant?

You have a script that performs a task using a text value that could change, that is the variable you mean.... Then define the variable in the script and pass the value to the variable on your command line to run the script

Sample Script,MyTest.scp:

Code: Select all

MessageModal>Seach value is %SearchValue%

Start the macro, these three lines will give you three different results:
MacroScheduler.exe /MyTest.scp /SearchValue=abc
MacroScheduler.exe /MyTest.scp /SearchValue=def
MacroScheduler.exe /MyTest.scp /SearchValue=ghi

(Oops, did not see reply from jpuziano that suggested three different scripts. This solution only requires one script, but must be started from different command lines or icons).
