checking line position

[cheetahz]

Is there a way or what would the sytax look like to check if certain positions for text are avalible or not and fill it in with some text depending on which lines are avalible

accually there are only two possibilities and depending which scenerio there would be a differnt macro run.

Any ideas

just an update to be clear.

there are tab positions that need X's filled in for different scenerios

 

[cheetahz]

i might be able to use something like this to locate the first cusor position and if true then run my code?



Dim Sys As Object, Sess As Object, MyScreen As Object
Set Sys = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")
' Assumes an open session

Set Sess = Sys.ActiveSession
Set MyScreen = Sess.Screen

CurrentRow = MyScreen.Row
CurrentCol = MyScreen.Col

MsgBox "The cursor is at " + Str$(CurrentRow) + "," + Str$(CurrentCol) + "."
End Sub

what is the correct syntax to say

If CurrentRow, 07
And
If CurrentCol, 04

Then
Rum my code

End IF
End Sub

any help would be appreciated

not sure i understood you correctly, but let's start with something like this

if CurrentRow = 7 and CurrentCol = 4 Then
Run my Code
else
Run my other code
End if

Yes that is what i ended up with but i also have another question.

is it possible to grab a value on the screen and do some math on it and post it back to the screen?

Thanks

Also is it possible to copy something and paste it in an external web form?
