Title: macros
Post by: dermyork on April 26, 2005, 04:12:00 pm

I am doing a lengthy macro and there are multiple places I need to insert dates in a specific program and I don't know the lanquage very well.  I think I will use EXPECT and my keystrokes but there just isn't much into in the book on this.  Thanks

I guess I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do (so  can figure out whether you can do it with a macro or not). Can you give more deatil about the sequence of events that will require a date?

I'm running a report where I would like the macro to pause and wait for me to enter a date.  Is this possible?

If what you are trying to do is deal with a screen based app to pause in a certain part of a screen while it's being painted, I'm pretty sure that is not possible. Anything screen based will have escape sequences to position things and an input screen is drawn as one entity, not as a series of lines so I don't think you can do what you are trying to do in this case.
