How to GOTO a fixed macro line?

[Johnc]

Hi Steve,

I have noticed that the GOTO action is not that easy to use, since the REAL line number actually keeps on 
changing as I insert more new macro lines before the GOTO destination line. Therefore I will need to keep on
change the GOTO MACRO LINE number as I edit the code.  Is this normal or am I missing something?

Any other ways to fix the line number of a destination line? (so that I don't have to keep changing the GOTO LINE number)

I have also noticed an internal %RETURN% variable is available but it doesn't seem to help me in my case where I
need to GOTO almost the end of the script.

Thanks again!

[Steve]

To answer your question. No, there is no real way to fix a line number of a destination line.

GOTO directs the macro to the 'real' line number. If you set a GOTO number and add more lines to your macro, then you will need to change the GOTO value.

Consider the macro below:

1 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::1
2 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1%::2
3 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | WAIT SECONDS | 2
4 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | RUN VIA CMD /C | echo Line 4  - Loop %integer% %date% %time% & ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
5 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
6 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | WAIT SECONDS | 2
7 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | RUN VIA CMD /C | echo Line 7 - Loop %integer%: %date% %time% & ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
8 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
9 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | >= | 5 | STOP | ELSE | 7 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | GOTO MACRO LINE | %INTEGER1%
Here we use GOTO with %integer1%. The GOTO value will be 2 as we declare it on line 2.

%RETURN% can also work for line 9:
9 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | >= | 5 | STOP | ELSE | 7 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | GOTO MACRO LINE | %RETURN%-6
At line 9 the value of %return% is 8, being the last line that has executed. So %return% (8) - 6 = 2.

%return% also works forward: %RETURN%+10. This would be 8+10=18.

What the macro's needs is function markers. Something like the change at line 3 and line 10:
1 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::1
2 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1%::2
3 | Function Display CMD
4 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | WAIT SECONDS | 2
5 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | RUN VIA CMD /C | echo Line 4  - Loop %integer% %date% %time% & ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
6 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
7 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | WAIT SECONDS | 2
8 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | RUN VIA CMD /C | echo Line 7 - Loop %integer%: %date% %time% & ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
9 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
10 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | >= | 5 | STOP | ELSE | 7 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | GOTO MACRO LINE | Function Display CMD
That would be good. I might look into that...

Cheers,
John.

[Johnc]

Hurray! Function markers would be fantastic Steve! No more renumbering and adjusting GOTO Target each time after edit!

[Stephan]

Hi, I thought this was addressed using Remarks for GOTO? I've been trying this instead of line numbers, but the macro just stops at that step.



www.turnssoft.com/conditions.html#gotomacroline

Remarks can be used as reference headers for GOTO MACRO LINE.

Consider the GOTO MACRO LINE example statement below taken from a macro condition:
1 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | LESS THAN | 10 | GOTO MACRO LINE | Main | ELSE | 1 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | End

This reads - IF %INTEGER% is less than the value 10 then GOTO MACRO LINE header Main or ELSE if the value of %INTEGER% is not less than 10 then GOTO MACRO LINE header End.

An example of GOTO MACRO LINE using remarks to define GOTO headers:
* | Head
1 | RUN ACTION | SET TITLE | %date% %time% (Goto Remark Demo)
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE STRING VARIABLE | %STRING%::%date% %time%
3 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::0
* | Main
4 | IF | RECEIVE UDP PACKET STRING | ANY::41414::ACK::10 | STRING FOUND | SEARCH FOR STRING | SEND UDP PACKET STRING | 192.168.1.50::41414::RST
5 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
6 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | LESS THAN | 10 | GOTO MACRO LINE | Main | ELSE | 1 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | End
* | End
7 | RUN ACTION | SET TITLE | Start=%string% End=%date% %time% (Goto Remark Demo)

[Steve]

Yeah remarks for goto work as expected

* | Head
1 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | After Head::%RETURN%::1
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::0
* | Main
3 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | After Main: %integer% of 5::%RETURN%::1
4 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
5 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | = | 5 | GOTO MACRO LINE | NEXT
6 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Main
* | Next
7 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | After Next: %integer% of 10::%RETURN%::1
8 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
9 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | = | 10 | GOTO MACRO LINE | End
10 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Next
* | End
11 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | End of File: %integer%::%RETURN%::1

[Steve]

What issue are you having with GOTO?

[Stephan]

Hi Steve,

Line 4 & 6 below is an example of what doesn't seem to work. If user chose "2" at line 4, then it's supposed to GOTO "ROUTINE_Scheduled__OCC_Visit". However, it just stops there at line 6. If I instead replace that with the literal line # 22, then it proceeds normally at line 22 and continues on.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Stephan

[Steve]

Are you running the latest version of Mini Mouse Macro Version 7.1?

Your macro works exactly as expected for me:
1 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Enter 1) Scheduled ACC Visit (Enter = default) 2) Scheduled OCC Visit 3) Project Work 4) Custom entry (I'll enter my own Summary)::Notes and Summary text::INTEGER1
2 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | Copy Work Notes to clipboard then hit OK to continue.::Message Prompt
3 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1% | IS | 2 | GOTO MACRO LINE | ROUTINE_Scheduled__OCC_Visit
4 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1% | IS | 3 | GOTO MACRO LINE | ROUTINE_Scheduled__Project_Work
5 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1% | IS | 4 | GOTO MACRO LINE | ROUTINE_Scheduled__Custom_Entry
* | Populate in Notes and Summary
6 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | Populate in Notes and Summary
* | ROUTINE_Scheduled_ACC_Visit
8 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | ACC Visit
9 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | 1
* | ROUTINE_Scheduled__OCC_Visit
10 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | OCC Visit
11 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | 1
When I enter 2 in the input box I go to line 10 in the test macro.

[Stephan]

Thanks for taking the time to test it out.

Yes, I'm running 7.1. I tried your script and it work, then replaced my GOTO line #'s with the Remarks as reference headers and it worked, but only once. After that, it would go immediately to "Macro playback finished" instead of the proper GOTO.

07/06/2019 05:15:40.86 PM Macro condition: 6 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1% | IS | 2 | GOTO MACRO LINE | ROUTINE_Scheduled_OCC_Visit
07/06/2019 05:15:40.88 PM Macro condition - 2=2
07/06/2019 05:15:40.92 PM Macro condition - Condition TRUE
07/06/2019 05:15:40.95 PM Macro action - Running ACTION: GOTO MACRO LINE - Macro line(ROUTINE_Scheduled_OCC_Visit)
07/06/2019 05:15:42.55 PM Macro playback finished


After some testing, it seems it's because when I save and reload the macro, it now has "hidden" double-spacing, causing it to fail. For example: I created test macro "abc" below. It runs as expected, and when I copy/pasted the macro to notepad, it looked the same as per EXAMPLE A. However, if I save and reload the macro, although it looks normal in MMM, it now seems to have "hidden" double-spacing, as per copy/paste from MMM to notepad EXAMPLE B. Pressing F8 eliminates the double-spacing, and also allows the original macro to run correctly - until I save and reload, then the same thing happens. Do I possibly have something misconfigured?


EXAMPLE A

1 | 195 | 166 | 727 | Keypress a
2 | 195 | 166 | 287 | Keypress enter
3 | 195 | 166 | 247 | Keypress b
4 | 195 | 166 | 172 | Keypress enter
5 | 195 | 166 | 253 | Keypress c
6 | 195 | 166 | 221 | Keypress enter


EXAMPLE B

1 | 195 | 166 | 727 | Keypress a

2 | 195 | 166 | 287 | Keypress enter

3 | 195 | 166 | 247 | Keypress b

4 | 195 | 166 | 172 | Keypress enter

5 | 195 | 166 | 253 | Keypress c

6 | 195 | 166 | 221 | Keypress enter


Thank you,
Stephan

Correction: Clicking "Relist rows" eliminates the double-spacing..

[Steve]

I can't replicate this issue your having and really not sure why your getting it.
The 'edit' pencil editor within Mini Mouse Macro is useful to load and edit macro's. Do you get the same results with that?

[Stephan]

Yes, if I use the pencil to load it and the copy/paste it from there, it is correctly single-spaced when I copy/paste to Notepad. However, even if I save there, if I go back to the main console and copy/paste from there, it appears in double-spaced in Notepad.

It seems that I'm not the only one experiencing the double-spacing. Here it appears in 2 other forum discussions:

minimousemacro.proboards.com/thread/158/help-loop
minimousemacro.proboards.com/thread/126/run-cmd-timeout


I'm not sure whether these users are using Remarks as Reference Headers. Would you like me to post/send you my full macro to see if you can reproduce it? It's only 286 lines.


Thank you,
Stephan

[Stephan]

To clarify, the the issue presents itself toward the top, in that if you choose "2" at line 4, then line 6 is supposed to GOTGO "ROUTINE_Scheduled_OCC_Visit" just before line 22, however it goes straight to "Macro playback finished". If I choose Relist rows first (or GOTO line 22 instead), then it succeeds.

'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.
