Capture mouse and add to command

[pctechtv]

I use a program called Screenpresso. It can run a command that captures the screen from certain coordinates. I would like to be able to capture the mouse coordinates and then fill them in my command. The normal command looks like this.

Code:

Copy      Help

screenpresso.exe -captureregion "D:\Test\test2.jpg" 0;0;1280;720

It is at 0;0 where I would like to insert the mouse coordinates. Can someone show a macro that could do this? Thanks

something like this should work for ya

Code:

Copy      Help

str x=59
str y=100
str s="screenpresso.exe -captureregion ''D:\Test\test2.jpg'' 0;0;1280;720"
s.replacerx("(\d+;\d+)" F"{x};{y}" 4)
out s

Hi, thanks for the reply. From what you show I think I will be able to get it. What I wanted was where the mouse on the screen is to become the X and Y. Then I want quickmacros to run the command like from a command line (command prompt). Thanks

This does the trick. Your help was tremedous! Thanks

Code:

Copy      Help

int px(xm) py(ym)
;str x=59
;str y=100
str s="screenpresso.exe -captureregion ''D:\Test\test2.jpg'' 0;0;640;360"
s.replacerx("(\d+;\d+)" F"{px};{py}" 4)
out s
RunConsole2 s

I use a timestamp like this. How could I also replace the test2.jpg to 1902081409.jpg (that being the current timestamp). Thanks

Code:

Copy      Help

DateTime t.FromComputerTime
str sf=t.ToStrFormat("{yyMMdd}{HHmm}")
key (sf)

Is this the bestway?

Code:

Copy      Help

int px(xm) py(ym)
DateTime t.FromComputerTime
str sf=t.ToStrFormat("{yyMMdd}{HHmm}")
str s="screenpresso.exe -captureregion ''D:\Test\test2.jpg'' 0;0;1280;720"
s.replacerx("(\d+;\d+)" F"{px};{py}" 4)
s.replacerx("(test2)" F"{sf}" 4)
out s
RunConsole2 s

much simpler way replacerx is not needed

Code:

Copy      Help

int px(xm) py(ym)
DateTime t.FromComputerTime
str sf=t.ToStrFormat("{yyMMdd}{HHmm}")
str s=F"screenpresso.exe -captureregion ''D:\Test\{sf}.jpg'' {px};{py};1280;720"
out s
RunConsole2 s
