What is wrong with the following:

Day>the_day
Month>the_month
Year>the_year
let>date=the_day+"-"+the_month+"-"+the_year

"date" is not created.

it should contain

2006-10-12 or as the date maybe.

The macro worked but not well. The program sent an ALT R to both windows, irrespective.

I changed the default data directory to my documents:

F:\My Documents\MacroSchedulerMacros

When I look for the macro I created I can find it in Explorer but not in MSch. What should I do to find it in MSch

SFC has a problem in that it does not remember that the system cd is in the CD tray and keeps asking for it to be put there or Hit retry. Retry works until the next file it wants to confirm. This macro is intended to hit Retry every time the error window arises. label>start WaitWindowOpen>Windows fi...

I have a variable that may contain spaces or text. The spaces are of an unknown length as is the text. I want to test if a variable has no text. How do I code for such a test an I see no trim or asci function?

What do you mean by "loading of the file into memory"? That is my way of saying sending the results to the scratchpad. As I am dealing with a file of over 2megs I thought I had better also try saving the output to a file. That has not worked and has caused MS to freeze. This is what I did for the f...

I have gone back the loading of the file into memory. I have just tried it and it did not work well. MS froze. Is this the correct setting?

LibFunc>lib,GetPDFText,r,pdffile,2,tempfile,0

What muddled me was the reference to opt: longInt. GetPDFText (FileName: PChar; opt: LongInt; target: PChar; xlspaces: LongInt): PChar I now think that the option is something to control the dll's output and that the error code goes into target. Assuming that is correct I can now understand why I ca...

That worked thanks.

I am trying to get the error code and thought I would find it in
the variable r. The content of r turned out to be a much bigger number = 43980788. Not what I expected at all. So I assume I have the wrong variable.

Can you adjust the libfunc> so as to give me the error code?

The dll that I am using has changed and I can not get it to work with MS. MS crashes at the libfunc> ========== Let>lib=I:\My Documents\pdftestjan\PDFtext.dll Let>pdffile=I:\My Documents\pdftestjan\NoAscii.pdf //Call GetPDFText, passing the pdffile and putting result on clipboard LibFunc>lib,GetPDFT...

Thanks. I will use a MS script to do it.

Is there a way of adding to this Dos command so that it filters out the file names with say "dogs" in them? What I mean is temp does not contain files with the word dog in them. I can see how it could be done using MS but can it be done with dos?

Thank you for your helpful reply. In this instance I have written direct to Marcus with the code. He will probably report back that I have made some error, we shall see.

First I put a .5 wait into the loop then 1. It is making no difference. For this script I am getting CPU 100% MS not responding. I have tested the same script on a small amount of data and it is not crashing. What should I do?

Are you opening the existing macro using the editor, then selecting "save as?"

Yes
