Thanks, I guess it was a case of not knowing the correct terms.

What I've done so far Is to put an array together by taking cell entries and tagging them together, what I'm strugging on is copying my string array to the clipboard, so that I can paste my string into a 'non windows' app using the sendkey command

Any Takers ?

Cheers In Advance.

I'm sorry for posting this question here,
But if we may carry on,
This example may explain better.

example:-

U(TURN)

wants to read:-

U-(TURN)

Not:-
U-(TU-RN)

Hi BrainBoxes,

I'm working in Ms Word.

I'm using a straight forward search and replace macro,
But my twist is that when the search finds a bracket '(' I would like the search to skip to the next line, leaving any text contained in brackets alone.

Any ideas,

Cheers in advance.

hi All,
I have a nice little macro that runs a .exe file.
it has an error trap in it to detect if the .exe is already active.

my problem is to get the selected .exe to be the active window and bring it to the forground for usage.

Cheers in advance.

That's the one !.

Thanks alot.

Mission complete.

No more Headaches.

Still no joy with getobject.

getobject seems to only work with micosoft office apps.

To add to my question.

I'm trying to check that an .exe is already active, If not open it.

Please help
I'm slowly losing my hair over this one.

Once again cheers,
Alan

This sounds like a possibility,

please could you show a quick scripting example for me to paste into my macro, as this would be far quicker and less of a headache.

once again
cheers in advance
Alan

Hi All,

I have devised a nice little macro that requires an external application to be ran, this all works fine,

my problem :-
I would like to include in my macro a routine that checks that the application is already running, if the condition is true then continue, if the condition is false then start the application.

I know this will be a simple one for the brains out there but it's stumped me.

Cheers in advance,

Alan.
