Hopefully this is a simple question:

How do I just run a 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 code:

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.

The macro command UnixReOff is UltraEditReOn since UltraEdit for Windows v14.20.1.1006 and UEStudio v9.00. Loop is in newer versions of UltraEdit/UEStudio Loop 0 for a loop with indefinite number of loop iterations.

Here is an alternate solution which can be used if

• all opened files should be modified by 1 or more macros, and
• each file should be saved and closed after called macro(s) finished, and
• there are surely no unsaved and therefore unnamed new files opened on start of macro execution.

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Loop
IfNameIs ""
ExitLoop
EndIf
PlayMacro 1 "case-sensitive name of first macro"
PlayMacro 3 "case-sensitive name of second macro"
CloseFile Save
EndLoop

This simple macro runs the first specified macro once and second specified macro three times on each opened file. The loop exits if there is no file opened anymore (or the active file is a new file with no file name).

Attention: All macros must be stored in same macro file. The commands Macro - Load and Append to Existing and Macro - Save All can be used to copy macros from several macro files into one macro file.

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