I am trying to Find After Input
1 Input something to find
2 After that to High Light the string inputed
I wrote the following Simple Macro but it stops at if findrx
str+ f1_input
if(!inp(f1_input "Find:") or !author_input.len) ret
f1_input.trim
if findrx (f1_input)
key SE ;; Shift+End

What you posted did not work or more probably I am not using it correctly. I tried to use it in word as follows neither macro worked
act "Word"
str f1_input
if(!inp(f1_input "Find:") or !f1_input.len) ret
f1_input.trim
if findw(f1_input "end")>=0
,out "''end'' found"
,key SE ;; Shift+End
act "Word"
str f1_input
if(!inp(f1_input "Find:") or !f1_input.len) ret
f1_input.trim
if findw(f1_input "end")>=0
,out "''end'' found"
,"tag"

Of course the following does work using the find function in Word
act "Word"
key CH ;; Ctrl+Home
str f1_input
if(!inp(f1_input "Find:") or !f1_input.len) ret
f1_input.trim
key Cf ;; Ctrl+F
outp f1_input
key Y ;; Enter
key Z ;; Esc
But I wanted to try and not use the find function in Word

if you want to find in word you have two options.Use word find function or start using word Type Library in qm.
search forum for typelib word
tip-- to show qm code in forum
Q. How to post QM code to the forum?
A. In QM, to copy all or selected text, use menu Edit -> Other Formats -> Copy for QM Forum. It copies correct and colored code to the clipboard. Then simply paste in the forum. Don't use the Code button.

Thank you very much. It looks like that you have to use visual basic inside qm. Is that correct?
