Welcome to new macro Toolworks family products web site.

The site was designed with intention to provide users better tools for sharing information - experience, ready to use solutions, advices, tricks, samples and other sort of information.

Everyone can create an account on the MacroToolworks.com site for free and start adding messages to the forums or adding comments to several web site areas (macro language commands, samples, etc.). The web site search functionality is capable of searching through forums and comments so be sure that valuable information you put here will be discovered and appreciated by other users looking for it.

Old www.pitrinec.com site remains functional for couple next months. The old forum content will not be copied to this new. If you are aware of valuable forum posts on the old site then feel free to copy it to this new location. In addition, old forum account login will not work on this new site. Every one needs to re-create accounts here.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Nice site, Petr! I wanted to ask if you could extend your FTP function to searching through folders on other platforms, perhaps synchronizing as well. Most of my macros involve some of that and in the past while I've just automated other software I was hoping that someday I wouldn't have to. I also wanted to ask if you could build in a "screen scraper" that can copy text from the screen to the clipboard that <ctrl>-C can't. I currently use Kleptomania for this and they do have a version for developers. In the meantime, thanks for your great product and all the best!

Hello,

I believe that what you are missing is some sort of <ftp_enum> command that is similar to the <file_enum> command, right?

As for the Kleptomania, our macro engine does not have an OCR engine built in yet. But this is something that we would like to add too.

Best regards,
Petr

Petr,

That's right about the <ftp_enum> command; one of those would be great. Since Kleptomania disappeared I've started using ABBYY which is built on HP's Tesseract engine. It works very well and I'm sure a lot of Toolworks users would like to have something like that built into your product.

If there's a way to bundle up error handling code for various commands such as <execappex> and <actwin> and be able to call those functions without having to write all the error handlers all the time that would also be great. In the meantime, thanks!

Hello,

I'm evaluating OCR engines, this is a feature that is plan to next major release.
Concerning error handling, you can write a procedure where you can put your error
handling code so that all this "<if_str>("_vErr!=NO")...." code is written once.
However, you still need to call such procedure after each command you want to test
for error (but this is something that could be done automatically in next version -
if an error handling procedure exists then it is called automatically).

Best regards,
Petr
