Is there a way to make a macro that will automatically save all the new files to a specified fixed location, like C:\tmp, without prompting for a name for each file?

When you create new files, UE names them Edit1, Edit2, .. etc.
I want the macro to automatically save all such files as C:\tmp\Edit1, C:\tmp\Edit2 etc. without asking for names. No extension is fine.

I need this because I very often need to compare pieces of data I get from the clipboard. To do this I create new files and paste inside. UE can not compare non-saved files, and manually saving each one is just too tedious so I want to somehow automate it.

Thanks.

Thank you very much Mofi !!

Works fine.
I wish it was that difficult for me

Hi Mofi,

Found your macro very useful. I have modified it a bit so that it will not modify the current file if the current file is already a saved file; it will search for the first unnamed file (up to 50):

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
Loop 50
IfNameIs ""
ExitLoop
EndIf
NextWindow
EndLoop
IfNameIs ""
Clipboard 9
"FIRST FILE OF SAVE ALL NEW FILES MACRO"
Loop 38
Key LEFT ARROW
EndLoop
Loop
NextWindow
Find MatchCase "FIRST FILE OF SAVE ALL NEW FILES MACRO"
IfNotFound
IfNameIs ""
CopyFilePath
SaveAs "C:\Tmp\^c"
EndIf
Else
Delete
IfNameIs ""
CopyFilePath
SaveAs "C:\Tmp\^c"
EndIf
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndLoop
ClearClipboard
Clipboard 0
EndIf

I use it to save temp files for comparison as well. Did wish that UE had direct support for comparing unnamed temp files. I think it once did, when the UltraCompare product was 'not born yet' as a separate product... Oh well...

Edit: Comparing text snippets in not saved files was added later as feature of UltraCompare and UltraEdit.
