Thanks Mofi, yes yours is a much more elegant way of exiting the macro. so basically your version just checks to see if the file name is Null and if so exits. cheers

Time to give something back. I saw some posts a while ago asking about this so here is my solution I have had a need for a while to be able to run a macro on all files but in hex mode as i needed to replace with "00" which has no ascii character. I have finally come up with this macro. Notes: 1. all...

thank you... your a life saver

I need to write couple of macros to do the following. 1. count the number of | in 1st line of file and somehow let me know the total (display window?) 2. search remainder of document for lines with more than the total returned in step 1. currently I count by hand and then use a macro searching for *...

OK, thanks for that Mofi. Have done some testing, I am now getting the file list showing up and all files are displayed and listed. I've got a collection of *.txt files with missing the extension. What happens next is that the macro running/cancel box is displayed and the cursor blinks rapidly. The ...

So far I can get it to run and display " Search complete, found '' 0 time(s). (0 files.) " on the scree...

I have used it to create a basic macro that I will now edit with our needed functions, I just needed the initial command to enable the all files and directory name. How many files can be edited this way in one go...

I have a macro that I use to clean database files prior to import into SQL. Until now I have just loaded the files and run the macro on "ALL FILES". However, we are now dealing with a few hundred files at a time. Is there a way to make UE run our macro on all files within a folder? I would prefer no...

Maybe it would be a good idea to write a macro or script which asks the user for the delimiter character and the correct number of delimiters per line and then run the search to mark all the lines with wrong number of delimiters. Such a macro or script could also handle the exception that a delimit...
