another question to learn how these regexes and makros work...
salut mes amis, I am still trying to figure all about the RegExes and the like out. To learn, I tried to set up a makro to put the name of the song I am listening to after the Bat-version. I know that has been floating around in the last days, and there were suggested makros to include that, I just tried to work it out for myself, to get the gist... Finally, I made it work, I am just not sure if by luck or ability ;-) anyways, I just would like you guys tell me what I did wrong logic-wise. Like, I am using two times the %PUT can't I do the pulling of the song title somewhere before and hand it over as a strong, to make it shorter?

Peter, I'm not interested in displaying what song I'm listening too... but I would like to know how you go about adding the random quotes in your signature? -- Best Regards, ~John - - - Peter Meyns wrote - - - Cheers Peter The joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.

This is another neat macro ~John - put all the quotes you want to use into a plain text file - one quote per line, and save as cookies.txt to your TB! folder for ease. Then at the bottom of your message templates add this line: %COOKIE=C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Mail\cookies.txt Changing the path to your cookies.txt file as suits where it is on your system of course. Whenever you send a message the macro will randomly extract a cookie line and add it as a quote to the bottom of your outgoing message. :-) -- Cheers, Anne The Bat Email - Unofficial Support Forum: http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Create a text file and place each line of text you wish to randomly
generate in a *single* line. Do not include any blank lines in the
file since it will also be included in the random selection. Save the
file to your TB! installation directory.
In your template, to randomly generate a line of text from the file,
put:
%Cookies=filename
If the lines of text are very long and you wish for them to be
automatically wrapped, then put:
%Wrapped=%Cookies='filename'
(the quotation signs are important so put them exactly as shown.)
If you wish to put the file somewhere other than the TB! installation
directory then you'll have to give the full path as well in the
macro. For example:
%Cookies=C:\Windows\textfiles\taglines.txt
or
%Wrapped='%Cookies=C:\Windows\textfiles\taglines.txt'
BTW, this cookie mechanism may be used in other ways. You could use
it to randomise entire signatures. You can do it like this:
For each signature, create a quick template. Give each signature
template its own handle name.
Create a text file and put each quick templates handle in its own
line like:
handle1
handle2
handle3
handle4
etc.
In your message templates, instead of putting your usual signature,
put:
%Qinclude=%Cookies='sighandletextfile.txt'
There's more you can do as well. It just depends on your imagination
and creativity.
Good luck and enjoy! :)
