license & Scripting Questions

[super8]

I’ve been working with macro scheduler for the last few days and have been able to almost complete my macro script. Before I purchase macro scheduler though I have a few questions regarding licensing and scripting.

Questions:

1 -How many computers can I install the software per license and how easily can I move my license from computer to computer.


2 - I have a loop in my script which allows me to get all folders within a folder.

Let>GFL_TYPE=1

GetFileList>C:\Users\temp\*.*,folder_list,;


Separate>folder_list,;,folders
If>folders_count>0
Let>fldr=0
Repeat>fldr
Let>fldr=fldr+1
Let>this_folder=folders_%fldr%


Until>fldr=folders_count
Endif

This returns the full folder path for the variable ‘this_folder’, but is there a way to return simply the folder name within this loop ? Thus putting something in the loop to simply return the folder name in a separate variable.


3 - The last issue I’m having with my macro is that I need to count the number of lines per file then append the number to the file name. is that possible?


Thank you for your time and your wonderful software.

Hi,

1. One per user (depends on how many licenses you buy)

2. Use the ExtractFileName function, or parse by "/"

3. Read a file in with ReadFile, count line numbers using RegEx or a repeat/until loop, construct filename with the result.

can you demonstrate how to use extract file name to get a folder name?
Below is what i would do. Using stringreplace will help as you already know the starting folder path.

Code: Select all

Let>GFL_TYPE=1 

GetFileList>C:\Users\temp\*.*,folder_list,; 


Separate>folder_list,;,folders 
If>folders_count>0 
Let>fldr=0 
Repeat>fldr 
Let>fldr=fldr+1 
stringreplace>folders_%fldr%,c:\Users\temp\,,tmp
Let>this_folder=tmp

//additional code???
Until>fldr=folders_count 
Endif 

problem here is : Let>this_folder=tmp
the this_folder will be replace each time it go through the list, so i m assuming that theres additional code below that line.
stringreplace will replace the path c:\Users\temp\, in the folder_%fldr% with an empty value and assigned it to tmp, which you can then asssign to 'this_folder' to hold only the folder name.

i m not sure if this is what you are looking for for number 3 and you might have to play or google regex patterns,

Code: Select all

Let>GFL_TYPE=0
let>initFolder=c:\Users\Temp\
GetFileList>%initFolder%*.*,files,;
Separate>files,;,file
let>x=0
let>pattern=\r\n
repeat>x
  add>x,1
    ExtractFileName>file_%x%,fName
    ExtractFileExt>file_%x%,fExt
    StringReplace>fname,%fExt%,,fName
    readfile>file_%x%,strFile
    RegEx>pattern,strFile,0,matches,n,0,,,
    let>newfile=%initFolder%%fname%%n%%fext%
    RenameFile>file_%x%,%newfile%    
Until>x=file_count
