running macro

Post by lars »

I have made a macro that edits some files into a more suitable format. Now to the problem: I would like to run this macro automaticly. How do I start TextPad with the macro( which saves the changes) and then close TextPad as well? I would like to run it from from a batchfile.

TextPad does not currently support calling a macro upon opening.

You will have to use a separate macro program like Macro Scheduler or some other scripting code to do that.

I know that Macro Scheduler will do what you want, I integrate it with TextPad daily and could not work without it.

I am sure that others will also recommend their favorite macro programs.
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob
