PLLLLLEASE use TT TGML tags and line your data up with the correct number of leading spaces.

This is your row 6...
[tt]
xAMOUNT 49.03 CODE xxxxx CHAR E
[/tt]
is this REALLY where the data is on your emulator?

xAmount in 6, 1, 6, 7

???

Follow me...
[tt]
00000000011
12345678901
xAmount
[/tt]
"the text starts at 06/02 and goes to 06/11"

REALLY???

How can I be sure of ANYTHING that you are telling me when this was such a simple question and it does not jive with reality?

Either the START position is incorrect or the END position is incorrect or BOTH are incorrect!!!

text at 06/02 goes to 06/11 number that at some point i hope to get changed is at 06/17 - 06/22

I am not believing you!

The example that you posted...
[tt]
xAMOUNT 49.03 CODE xxxxx CHAR E

[/tt]
does not have visible text from 6, 2 to 6, 11. It could be from 6, 2 60 6, 8!!!

So why should I believe that your number is from 6, 17 to 6, 22, or that it is updateable, for that matter? You have lost credibility with me.

lol what a mess

it is there because i told you it was? (it is a simple thing)
the emulator shows where it is.
you have all the code i have.
if you dont know how to do this it is fine.

Here's what it seems to me. Your Area is REALLY
[tt]
6, 10, 6, 18
[/tt]
That's what I deduce from your posts.

Please try these coordinates and 6, 10 for the PutString.

Then report back the results.

same outcome, msgbox pops up which indicates math is not working or at least the if statement saying if > 85

and nothing is changed if i view the clipboard it has the number on it unchanged

also indicates the math is not working

and trust me the location is right i have written many macro's using copy and paste and put and get

just not MATH

Well I get this to work on my timecard screen. I can change 8.0 hours to 5.0 by subtracting 3 and doing a PutString back.

So your are definitely missing something!!!

Your positions 6, 2, 6, 11 do not add up. Thats TEN positions, while xAmount is SEVEN?????

So THAT is why I doubt that you know what you are doing!!!

You have been inconsistent.

your missunderstanding what i am saying

the text location 06/2 - 06/11 is illrelivent it doesnt change.

the number that needs changed is at the location i have givin and the location is in the code

if you have it working can i see what code you are using they must be different in some way.

If I can't believe #1 that you assert, then I seriously doubt #2.

My line of questions was designed to check the veracity of your statements.

I got my answer.

hi cheetahz,

i don't follow your logic...
are you saying the numeric values begin on Row 6,column 2 through Row 6,column 11?

and if the amount is greater than $85, then subtract $75, and place that sum on row 6, column 17 through 22?

somehow that doesn't compute correctly

6,2,6,11 has 9 characters
6,17,6,22 has 6 characters

does the literal xAMOUNT actually appear on your emulator at 6,2,6,11 ?

i'm trying to learn and follow this logic

I ALL has to do with grabbing the correct Area

Code: 
Sub Main()
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Get the main system object
    Dim Sessions As Object
    Dim System As Object
        Dim amount As Object
        Dim total As Object
        Dim myStr As Object, Sys As Object
        Dim MyScreen As Object
        Dim MyArea As Object
        Dim DiffMyArea
      
    Set System = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")    ' Gets the system object
    If (System Is Nothing) Then
        MsgBox "Could not create the EXTRA System object.  Stopping macro playback."
        Stop
    End If
    Set Sessions = System.Sessions

    If (Sessions Is Nothing) Then
        MsgBox "Could not create the Sessions collection object.  Stopping macro playback."
        Stop
    End If
''--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'' Set the default wait timeout value
'    g_HostSettleTime = 3000        ' milliseconds
'
'    OldSystemTimeout& = System.TimeoutValue
'    If (g_HostSettleTime > OldSystemTimeout) Then
'        System.TimeoutValue = g_HostSettleTime
'    End If
'
'' Get the necessary Session Object
    Dim Sess0 As Object
    Set Sess0 = System.ActiveSession
'    If (Sess0 Is Nothing) Then
'        MsgBox "Could not create the Session object.  Stopping macro playback."
'        Stop
'    End If
'    If Not Sess0.Visible Then Sess0.Visible = True
'    Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet (g_HostSettleTime)
'
'' This section of code contains the recorded events
'    Sess0.Screen.SendKeys ("c96<Enter>")
'    Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet (g_HostSettleTime)
'    Sess0.Screen.SendKeys ("u<Enter>")
'    Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet (g_HostSettleTime)
'    Sess0.Screen.SendKeys ("10<Tab>p<Tab>")
'        Sess0.Screen.SendKeys ("sometext")
'
        Set MyScreen = Sess0.Screen[b]
        Set MyArea = MyScreen.Area(10, 47, 10, 49, , 3)[/b]
        
        

        If IsNumeric(MyArea) Then
            DiffMyArea = CLng(MyArea) - CLng(5#)
        End If

'       If DiffMyArea < 85# Then
'        MsgBox "sometext"
'  End If
'    MyScreen.Area(10, 47, 10, 49, , 3) = CStr(DiffMyArea)
[b]    MyScreen.PutString DiffMyArea, 10, 47[/b]



'    System.TimeoutValue = OldSystemTimeout
End Sub
