pause in a macro

HI

I have a macro to read file, search for a term, copy to clipboad (Using
Clipmate) unitl the end of the file. There is not enough time for Clipboard
to capture the item. Is there a way I can insert a pause into the macro
(which is not CPU intensive) so that this macro will work?

Thanks

Chris

Haven't tested it myself but Clipmate has a pause command that you can try.

See if a pause helps.
Edit the Paste Ctrl+V string in tools | options | pasting | edit.
Add a preamble to the "paste ctrl+v" string:

#PAUSE#

good luck

Chris,
Saw your post about Clipmate and use of macro.
Can you tell me if with Clipmate you can use a macro to search using Regex and capture many paragraphs to the clipboard? I looked at the Clipmate site and did not readily read about that capability.

Thanks,
Forrest

@randomwanderer, sounds like you're looking for Selection Append (Ctrl-Shift-C) in TP. I have not tested it in a macro though.

randomwanderer:

Clipmate's regex works only on what's already on the clipboard, so to your question I would have to say no.
