Tools usage with FTP files

Postby ahbrown41 » Mon Aug 30, 2004 2:54 pm

Is there a way to get external tools setup in UE to work with FTP files?

Through a temp file etc...

Thanks :-)

You can use a macro to save the current file to always the same temporary file without prompting and then run the tool from inside the macro after saving the selection with the macro command RunTool "tool name". The tool name is case-sensitive! The tool must be set to use the temporary file with the fixed file name.

Here is an example of the macro:

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
SelectAll
Copy
NewFile
Paste
SaveAs "C:\Windows\Temp\Tempfile.tmp"
CloseFile
RunTool "tool name"
