Macro Priority, in a macro

[jtmeunier]

Hi I am new to QM, and have been working on this macro for a while. I have pieced it together from reading other's posts.

What I am trying to do is repeatedly run a macro which has a function that randomly chooses some variables, inserts those variables into the running macro. Then waits the specified time and runs another macro before repeating the whole process over again.

The randomization part works great. The copy and paste part works great. But I wont the program to pick the wait time, then pick a macro name, then run the specified macro. Then repeat the whole process over again.

What is happening right know is that it picks a wait time, then the macro name, it inserts these variables fine, but doesn't run the macro until it goes through that process the specified repeat times.

PS I have tried converting the last macro into a function but it doesn't work. I was thinking that there must be some way of, prioritizing the macros so that when the running macro comes across the embedded macro it pauses then continuous to run.

Any help would be great!!

did you change ALL of your macros to functions including the one that has all this code?

also do you have this

Code:

Copy      Help

mac t

where you put this?

Code:

Copy      Help

mac "MacroName#"

[Gintaras]

All "embedded" macros must be functions, or main macro must be function. To run and wait, use this:

wait 0 H mac(t)

To call as function, use this:

call t

Hi Gintaras,

I have tried what you have said to do, but what is happening is the macro isn't waiting it automatically runs the embedded macro and skips the wait process all together. Is there something wrong with code?

,max "Quick Macros"

,ClearOutput

Sorry it isn't an embedded macro anymore it is a function.

Thanx for all your advice

I got it to work with your help!! I guess I just needed to eat then come back I found the problem. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the mouse double click command. What I wont to to is insert the specified time into the wait command. Similar to defining the wait 0 H call(t) I would like to remove this part of the command

,dou 76 272 id(2203 "Quick Macros")
,outp s
,wait 121

and have something like this:

Code:

Copy      Help

,wait s

How do you do this? Any help would be great. Thanx

[ken gray]

s needs to be an "integer" or "double" variable type to so that ie a number.

[Gintaras]

wait val(s)

[ken gray]

take a look at "spe" and "wait" in the help to figure out how to throttle the actions to what you need.

Thank you for your help the macro works great!!!
