macro on startup

Post by George Thuronyi »

Is it possible to invoke a macro upon startup--either as a command-line option or otherwise?

I have several hundred files on which I need to perform some repetititve editing.

Thanks!

Funny I saw your question here... I just posed the exact question to support...

I would like to fire off textpad, open a .txt file and do a global replace of a string, save the file and exit out of textpad.

I am tring to port over various tasks that I'm currently doing on a MPE HP3000 using Qedit. I had that exact capability and need to do same tasks on the PC platform...

So is it possible without using third party Schduler? Any command line argument can be achieve to start a file then with macro executed?
