help variabile

[luca1974wow]

This is my macro and it work fine

GetPixelColor>1420,1,VARIABILE
If>VARIABILE=0
Send>the color is black
endif
------------------------------------

but i want that macro work

GetPixelColor>1420,1,VARIABILE
If>VARIABILE=0 or 1000 or 5000
Send>the color is black or green or yellow
endif

i write or because i don't know the exact simbol for this macro

what is the just simbol?


(sorry for my english)

If>{(%VARIABILE%=0) or (%VARIABILE%=1000) or (%VARIABILE%=5000)}
...
Endif

Hi Marcus and all,

Just a side note... and I know this has been said before... but I believe questions like this keep coming in because there are too few examples in the Help File on how to use Complex Expressions and the proper syntax with using the round brackets () and the braces {}.

Complex Expression Examples

Numeric Functions:

Let>r={round(34.6)}
Let>ans={cos(340)}

Using numeric variables in complex expressions we enclose variables in % symbols:

Let>r=34.6
Let>r={round(%r%)}

String Functions:

In Complex expressions string literals must be enclosed in double quotes ("). Variables are just enclosed with % symbols:

Let>email=[email protected]
Let>at={Pos("@",%email%)}

Here at equals 5 as it is the 5th character in [email protected]

Let's now use the copy function to extract everything before the @ sign:

Let>namepart={copy(%email%,1,%at%-1)}

Conditional Functions:

Let>email=[email protected]
Let>IsItAnEmail={if(pos("@",%email%)>0,"yes","no")}

Of course we could do:

Let>email=[email protected]
Let>at={Pos("@",%email%)}
Let>IsItAnEmail={if(%at%>0,"yes","no")}

Here IsItAnEmail would be set to "yes".

I get that for the whole expression to be treated as a complex expression, you surround the whole thing in braces {} from the Help file page below... but it mentions nothing about when you must use round brackets ():

Complex Expressions

Syntax

In Macro Scheduler all complex functions should be contained within curly braces ("{" and "}"). Variables should be enclosed within % symbols and literal strings should be enclosed within double quotes ("). Parameters are separated by commas (,).

Complex expressions are supported in Macro Scheduler's IF statements and LET statement, and since version 9.0 can now also be included within all other commands and function calls in the place of regular variables.

Complex Expression Examples

If there were at least one example of the proper use of all the Operators and Functions then users would probably catch on quicker. For example, I don't see any Logical examples of the type you just provided in your answer to this post:

If>{(%VARIABILE%=0) or (%VARIABILE%=1000) or (%VARIABILE%=5000)}
...
Endif

Marcus, please do not take this as complaining... as I am a happy customer and the support here has always been first rate.

I'm just stating my opinion that in some cases (like this one), a few more examples in the Help File would be... helpful.

Keep up the great work and take care.
