if (text == "ping")


to:
if (text.Contains("ping"))


Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Stringing macros together based on copied text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#8 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 10:25:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#8 ClipboardFusion Yep. That seems to work. But I've just realized I need to actually check for if text contains, not if it equals. I guess I can add a scrubbing of the text it copies, but is there maybe an easier way of implementing into the if statement? ]]> RE: Stringing macros together based on copied text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#7 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 10:09:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#7 ClipboardFusion Oh. I see. That makes sense then. I'll try this one out. Thank you. ]]> RE: Stringing macros together based on copied text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#6 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 13:28:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#6 ClipboardFusion I put together something that should work for you. All I did was modify your code a little.

The reason your Macro wasn't working is because when a Macro is run, the "text" variable contains the text that was in the Clipboard at the time when the Macro first runs. It doesn't change again automatically, unless you change it yourself :).

So the only real change I made to your Macro was on line 12. I change the

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Clipboard.CopyText();

to

Code
Copy
Select All

text = BFS.Clipboard.CopyText();


Anyways, here's the code!

Code
Copy
Select All

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
    public static string ProcessText(string text)
    {
        BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(-1502, 518);
        BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
        BFS.Input.LeftClickMouse();
        BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
        BFS.Input.SendKeys("^({VK_65})");
        BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
        
        // set the "text" variable with the contents of the Clipboard
        text = BFS.Clipboard.CopyText();
        BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
        
        if (text == "ping")
        {
            BFS.ClipboardFusion.RunMacro("#8 Fra Search: Sett til Pending #OVE 3 days", text, out text);
        }
        else if (text == "B")
        {
            BFS.ClipboardFusion.RunMacro("Macro2", text, out text);
        }
    
        return text;
    }
}

I've set it up like this.

Code
Copy
Select All

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
    public static string ProcessText(string text)
    {
        // your code goes here
    BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(-1502, 518);
    BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
    BFS.Input.LeftClickMouse();
    BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
    BFS.Input.SendKeys("^({VK_65})");
    BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
    BFS.Clipboard.CopyText();
    BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
        // your code goes here
        if (text == "ping")
        {
            BFS.ClipboardFusion.RunMacro("#8 Fra Search: Sett til Pending #OVE 3 days", text, out text);
        }
        else if (text == "B")
        {
            BFS.ClipboardFusion.RunMacro("Macro2", text, out text);
        }
    
    return text;
    }
}


It is able to move the mouse to the correct position, mark the text, and copy it(i assume), but it's not running the macro, even though the copied text contains "ping"
It's not doing anything. It just ends without any errors. ]]> RE: Stringing macros together based on copied text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#4 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 14:40:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#4 ClipboardFusion No worries, glad to hear it! ]]> RE: Stringing macros together based on copied text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#3 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 05:58:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#3 ClipboardFusion I'm sorry for the late reply. That seems to work perfectly. Thank you very much. ]]> RE: Stringing macros together based on copied text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#2 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 19:59:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/stringing-macros-together-based-on-copied-text/?ID=9e01dae7-ac03-48dd-809f-4b74bc2302f6#2 ClipboardFusion Sure! There are a couple of ways you could do this. You could create Trigger rules that look for the specific text and then run the appropriate Macro.

Alternatively, you could do it in a Macro, like this:

Code
Copy
Select All

if (text == "A")
        {
            BFS.ClipboardFusion.RunMacro("Macro1", text, out text);
        }
        else if (text == "B")
        {
            BFS.ClipboardFusion.RunMacro("Macro2", text, out text);
        }
        return text;

I'm looking for a way to make my macros a bit smarter.
I would like to make a macro copy a text from a field in a form (I already have this set up) and use this text to decide what macro to run.

So say I copy text A, the macro will run the next macro named A.
If the text is B, then it will run Macro B, and so on.

Is this possible? ]]>
