| | How to write a script/macro Hi all: I am using a program called Macro Scheduler to run a macro. But I would rather run the macro using a script without the program so I don't have to pay $$ for the program. The Macro I have simply opens a program, I then Alt-T, press u, then Enter, and then Alt F4 to close the program. Can anybody tell me how to write the script to do these commands? These are the commands in Macro Scheduler when using the Editor: // C:\Documents and Settings\abokar\My Documents\Macro Scheduler\Copernic 2.scp // Recorded on Sunday, November 16, 2008, at 09:28 PM // Run program and wait for it to be active Change Directory>C:\Program Files\Copernic Desktop Search 2 Run Program>C:\Program Files\Copernic Desktop Search 2\DesktopSearch.exe WaitWindowOpen>Copernic Desktop Search 2 - Home Edition // Ensure it always opens with the same dimensions MoveWindow>Copernic Desktop Search 2 - Home Edition,-4,-4 ResizeWindow>Copernic Desktop Search 2 - Home Edition,1032,742 // Focus the app SetFocus>Copernic Desktop Search 2 - Home Edition //Recorded Events Let>WW_TIMEOUT=5 CapsOff MouseMove>505,422 Wait>2.14 Press ALT Wait>0.59 Send>t Wait>0.14 Release ALT Wait>1.25 Send>u Wait>1.36 Press Enter Wait>3.62 Press ALT Wait>0.64 Press F4 Wait>0.23 Release ALT |

However, you should note that keyboard macros are inherently unstable. The slightest unexpected event can and will upset them, e.g. - A virus scanner update pop-up - A task taking longer than expected - An unexpected response from the program you're controlling. |
