I tried the multiline string delimiter and had embedded double quotes in the delimited string (no problem).

However, if you are trying to define a very long string as scripted text, you do have to be careful not to
exceed the maximum length of a Powerpro command (which is somewhere around 530 characters).

For a very long string, you would need to use a series of commands.

e.g.,
local mystring
mystring=???end
first 10 lines
end
mystring++=???end
next 10 lines
end
etc.

Get the bigmem plugin from Files in the main group.

I would think it could be computed with:

bigmem.bigmem("TotalVirtual") - bigmem.bigmem("AvailVirtual")

Does offer windows dialog controls functionality?

Have been reviewing the power pro functionality for about a week and considering making leap from current
Macro Express 3.
I have quickly reviewed the full documentation but do not see functionality to identify a control within a
window and press it.  I want to avoid setting a mouse click to x,y coordinate because window size can change
and hence reposition the button.

If I have a given window that I know has a control with text "Center", how do I press it from Power Pro.

Does "Center" have an underlined letter, so that when the program has focus Alt+ThatLetter presses it? If
so, sent it the key sequence. If the program doesn't already have focus, you can first set the focus with
Powerpro (see win.setfocus in the documentation).

If you don't have a keyboard shortcut, you can get the handle of the control (win or misc plugin), set the
focus to that handle (win or misc plugin), and try sending it the enter key or spacebar key. Or you can send
the mouse to an absolute position within the dynamic dimensions of the control and send a click. After that
you can send the mouse back where it was.

Sheri

having brain cramp

Hello all,

I am trying to get my command lists and scripts to relative paths (I know - I'm behind).

I have the configure>setup>advanced setup> other > replace %environment var% throughout command checked.

in my timer (one item I'm dealing with)
in the 'Script' - Run file I have 
"\scripts\gpfjfm-beforetalk_00_straight_fromHeart.txt"

I tried it with and without the '\' at the beginning.

My powerpro pcf file is in the same directory as the exe, and the script folder is in a subdirectory below it.

Am I missing something simple I should have in there?

Thanks in advance.

A script stored in the scripts folder doesn't need any path specified or extension specified.

gpfjfm-beforetalk_00_straight_fromHeart

s/b sufficient.

The file's actual extension can be txt or powerpro.

Re: having brain cramp

Sheri,

Thank you!  I did not 'understand' the documentation as well as your 
explanation.  I'm just more dense as a hobby geek, verses all the 
professional geeks. :-)

Thank you again.

Timers export -

Hello all,
Just making sure I did not miss something on the upgrades - there is not 
a way to export/ import timers like the command lists and Key/mouse items,
right?

Just checking.

Thanks in advance.

No. In order to keep timers in files you need to write scripts that use the event plugin.
