Hello,

you can just insert tab in to the command as shown on the example below. Just put some text with tabs to clipboard and then run this macro.

<cmds>

<varset>("textWithTab=%_vClpText%","")
<var_oper>(textReplaced,"%textWithTab%",STR_REPLACE," ","InsteadOfTAB", "0")
<msg>(-100,-100,"textReplaced","Message",1,0,0,1)

hi petr.

damn. works totally perfect. impressed.

can see you use :
<varset>("textWithTab=%_vClpText%","")

but why don't you use this one :
<var_oper>(test,"",GET_TEXT_FROM_CLIPBOARD,"2","", "0")

and one last thing. i can see you use :
<cmds>
what is the total meaning and effect of this command. i have not used it,
because i do not totally understand this one. and everuthing works perfect
without it.

but else. thz alot for the help.

ohh.. and :
i can see that you inserted a tab into " old string ". how did you make that
possible ? when i tried that. it jumped to next possible button in window.
EDIT : hmm. copied a tab from a txt document and inserted it that way. thinking that
i am getting too old for this. smiling.

Hello,

the <cmds> command means "from now, execute only commands and ignore text that is not recognized as commands". For example if yo have macro like this:

<cmds>
<wx>(500) This macro waits 500ms.

Then all this macro will do is wait 500ms. However, if you have macro like this:

<wx>(500) This macro waits 500ms.

It will wait 500 ms and it will "type" to currently active window "This macro waits 500ms." because this text is recognized in this case as keystrokes/text that should be sent to active application.

So <cmds> command is good to use if your macro mostly consists from macro commands. It prevents macro from sending "Enters" (new lines).

>>> ... how did you make that possible ?

Well, I just did copy/paste....

Best regards,
Petr
