Run Extra Macro

[medhed]

We have just migrated from Exra!4.0 to Exra! Personal Client 6.3. I have worked out most of the syntax<br>
changes in the Extra! Basic language of the macros, but cannot find any command to call another<br>
macro from within a macro - what used to be the Run Macro command. I tried to get around it by<br>
assigning the macro a hot key, the using SendKey to send the hot key, but it didn't work. Is there any<br>
way to run a macro from within another macro using the Basic language? Thanks for any help.

Hi,<br>
<br>
You can shell another macro from a running macro, but it will run asynchronously, so it may not work the way you want it to. The command to do this is: <br>
shell "ebrun.exe macro1.ebm"<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>
Gary.

Good idea, Gary, but I need the called macro to run before going on with the function - which it won't do, as you point out, for some reason. It runs after the rest of the function is completed - worthless. Thanks for the response.

If you go to;

There is a macro showing how to wait for a shell command to finish.
