Using Remarks as reference headers for GOTO

[sava]

Hi Steve,



I wanted to check in about this when using Remarks for GOTO, and was wondering if you can reproduce it with simplified example. I was able to reproduce it on a new VM with a fresh MMM install.



I created this mini "y/n" macro as a test, edited it with the Pencil editor, and confirmed that it correctly (performs GOTO line 5 if you chose "n" at line 1). However, if you save and reload, run and choose "n", it goes straight to "Macro Playback finished" and never hits Remark2/line5. 


If you choose Relist Rows, it works again, until you save and reload. It also works saves/loads/runs correctly if you use literal line #s instead of Remarks. Do you know why this is?





1 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Enter y or n::y or n::STRING4

2 | IF | STRING VARIABLE | %STRING4% | IS | n | GOTO MACRO LINE | Remark2

3 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | You chose y::Result::0

4 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Remark3

* | Remark2

5 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | You chose n::Result::0

* | Remark3

6 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | Done::Result::0





Thank you,

Stephan

Hi Sava,

Thanks for the new thread.

This is the tail end of our previous thread:

'Auto Relist on Play' can be enabled in options. This should fix your formatting issues after the save and run.
I can't replicate your issue with save's and loads and formatting.




Also to improve performance of the running macro you can remove all the Left Click Down/Release if you don't need a drag event in favor for simply Left Click.

281 | 680 | 370 | 225 | Left Click Down
282 | 680 | 370 | 225 | Left Click Release
281 | 680 | 370 | 225 | Left Click

Your line:
237 | IF | STRING VARIABLE | %STRING1% | IS | | DEFINE STRING VARIABLE | %STRING1%::4
Should be:

237 | IF | STRING VARIABLE | %STRING1% | IS |  | DEFINE STRING VARIABLE | %STRING1%::4

Steve,

Thanks very much for taking a look at this and your recommendations. I will give it a try this weekend and let you know the outcome.

Cheers,
Stephan
