When creating 'exe' can a "mac" with a variable be used

[[email protected]]

Morning!

If I am creating an 'exe' from a set of a macro and functions, CAN I use:

mac F"Oc_LBX_24k_8item_{LBXliveHotKey}_Hotkey_Live"

where a variable is used?

I'm getting the message:

Warning in <open ":451: /2907">Oc_LBX_24k_8item_S_Hotkey: Cannot automatically add to exe function used with mac (F"Oc_LBX_24k_8item_(LBXliveHotKey). May need to add with <help #IDP_DIR_EXE>#exe addfunction. <help #IDP_DIR_OPT>?

[Gintaras]

Add all functions whose names match F"Oc_LBX_24k_8item_{LBXliveHotKey}_Hotkey_Live" with #exe addfunction.

Macro Macro2693

Code:

Copy      Help

#exe addfunction "Oc_LBX_24k_8item_1_Hotkey_Live"
#exe addfunction "Oc_LBX_24k_8item_2_Hotkey_Live"
#exe addfunction "Oc_LBX_24k_8item_3_Hotkey_Live"
#exe addfunction "Oc_LBX_24k_8item_4_Hotkey_Live"

#opt nowarnings 1
int LBXliveHotKey
for LBXliveHotKey 1 5
,mac F"Oc_LBX_24k_8item_{LBXliveHotKey}_Hotkey_Live"
#opt nowarnings 0

New functions cannot be created in exe at run time.

WOW, Gentaris, thank you for the prompt reply? What time is it there?

Where do I add this? as a variable at the beginning of the parent macro?

While I have your ear and on a similar note, what about case such as this that also uses a variable:

EndThread F"Oc_LBX_24k_8item_{LBXliveHotKey}_Hotkey_MSG"

Will this work OK?

per the last comment, --What I meant was--

"as you would add or create a variable" at the beginning of a file?

[Gintaras]

EndThread also would work.

Gentaris, forgive me ONCE AGAIN for requesting "baby steps" but let me give you an example and then show me how you would create an 'exe' of this:

PARENT MACRO:

mac1 (is the parent-macro name w. content inside the "*******" )
*********************

str+ var1="X"

X=1

mac "func{var1}"
wait 0.01



*********************


FUNCTION 1

func1 (is the function name)
*********************

msg "macro has run"

*********************




FUNCTION 2

func2 (is the function name)
*********************

function content here

*********************

Sorry about the bad syntax in the mac1 body above, should be:

str+ var1

var1=1

;;out var1

mac F"func{var1}"

[[email protected]]

ADDITIONAL QUESTION: (note, also question in above strings)

What if the variable is a letter, such as "S" Does this work ONLY WITH 'int' and numbers?

[Gintaras]

Macro mac1

Code:

Copy      Help

;/exe

#exe addfunction "func_one"
#exe addfunction "func_two"

#opt nowarnings 1

str functions=
;one
;two

str s
foreach s functions
,mac F"func_{s}"

MES m.x=500
mes "mac1[][]Click OK to end this macro and all function threads and this process." "" m

;BEGIN PROJECT
;main_function  mac1
;exe_file  $my qm$\mac1.exe
;END PROJECT

Function func_one

Code:

Copy      Help

MES m.x=100
mes "func one" "" m

Function func_two

Code:

Copy      Help

MES m.x=300
mes "func two" "" m
