Extracting macro commands

Post by kcorth »

Is there any way in IR to extract macro commands to Excel or something so that you can actually see the order of all the commands that will occur on a given button press? I have some very complex macros that I need to clean up but it's hard following the commands all the way through. I'd like to be able to pull them out of IR and have a list ordered the way the commands would actually occur.

thanks
Kevin

Just download the remote into IR and look at the Macros tab.

I think Mark answered a different question than Kevin meant to ask.

Kevin, clarify your question if I'm getting this wrong.

I think Kevin is using an extender to nest macros, so he doesn't want to see what is in one macro definition, he wants to see the whole sequence that will result when the extender incrementally replaces each invocation of a nested macro with the whole definition of that macro.

I don't know any easy way to get that displayed.

To sort things out by arranging and rearranging, a system map of links is needed :) but doesn't exist.
Absent that, File/Summary with wordrap disabled on the Advanced menu, lists everything. Save as a txt file and port over to Excel.
To get there quicker and for macros and keymoves, use clipboard copy and paste into excel from each of those tabs. Intermediate file not needed.

I saw your question the same way as John, I think.
Follow the process rather than translate the keys in raw data sequences.

Thank you for your replies. Yes John and Elizabeth, you interpreted my question correctly. I was hoping for a fancy way, but your suggestion will work just fine.

Thanks

Hmm. Should not be hard to implement such a report. I wish I had time to do some work in IR. I barely have enough time now to read the messages.
