How do you run a Macro on open files?

[jtp51]

Hopefully this is a simple question:

How do I just run Macro for only and all open files, is it a batch process?

Thank you.

With the help of a second macro, which executes your macro on all open files. Here is this macro:

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Top
"MacroFirstFileMarker"
Loop
PlayMacro 1 "case-sensitive name of your macro"
NextWindow
Top
Find MatchCase "MacroFirstFileMarker"
IfFound
Delete
SaveAll
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndLoop

Remove the SaveAll command if you do not want to save all files after macro execution or you already save it during execution. Make sure, that your macro does not close the file at end of execution or you have to modify this macro.

Mofi,

I tried your advise but I get an error: "Search string not found!".

What do I have to change in your script?!? Everything between the quotes ""?!?
Is "MacroFirstFileMarker" a macro or a function?!?

Set the macro property (checkbox) "continue search if nothing found".

What do I have to change in your script?!?

Just the red text with your macro name.

Is "MacroFirstFileMarker" a macro or a function?!?

It's just a STRING, a Marker. You could replace it (both!) with "ABCXYZ" and it would work too. It just should be a unique string.

Yes, I got it now...

Next question:
Is it possible to write "MacroFirstFileMarker" somewhere else in the first file, because during my other macro I delete the first row.
So at the end 'your' macro delete a piece of my data...

The marker string can be placed anywhere, for example at the end of the first file.
