Is it possible to write a KnowBrainer command and  during the keystroke sequence of the command insert a text macro?  For example, I have the cursor migrating to different places in an application, and then opening up the notes section, and then opening the DragonPad.  I would like after opening the DragonPad to insert one of my text macros (which is part of the DNS commands).  I cannot seem to be able to do this. Can it be done with DNS Pro as opposed to Premium?

   Thanks for the replies.

If I am not mistaken, you can use the HeardWord command also in KnowBrainer. Therefore, if you have a text macro named "my signature", for instance, the following line of code would execute it:

HeardWord "my","signature"

Well, it's past the point where we can make any changes in the code, but we can still make changes to the Easter Egg!

 Thanks for the reply.  I've tried that.  I have a macro called "exam form ok".  It didn't work with the HeardWord command.  Not sure if I should use HeardWord or "Heard 3 Words".  I might have tried both and neither worked. 

Will this work with DNS Preferred or do I need DNS Professsional?

There is no such animal. The general syntax would be:

HeardWord "word1", "word2", "word3"

So given this example:

HeardWord "exam", "form", "ok"

But I would actually make that:

HeardWord "exam", "form", "okay"

But don't forget to rename the command first. However, I am not really certain about HeardWord commands being available in KnowBrainer, but I thought they were.

Edit: I have just checked with the KnowBrainer manual, and they ARE available. So just check the syntax accordingly.

Rudiger:

 Thanks.  Will give it a go again.

I have succeeded in being able to insert the text macro as desired, thanks for your help.  I am also able to migrate within the macro using KnowBrainer bookmark commands.  

However, I am unable to have the system insert "today's date" into the place  I wish.  Knowbrainer rejects what I am doing based on a syntax error.

I am unable to find the "today's date" command in the Knowbrainer commands so I can copy it into my command.

What is the correct command syntax for "today's date".  I tried using a HeardWord command and it was rejected.

 Thanks.

I don't think that there is such a thing as a "today's date" command. Why don't you get yourself a copy of the KnowBrainer VerbalBasic manual which would cover it, I believe?

As far as the HeardWord command, the simple rule to using it in a script is this: if you can speak it, you can also execute it from the script using the HeardWord command. It just does the same thing, instructing the scripting engine to act as if the command had been spoken, or heard for that matter.

PS: inserting the date can be done via Advanced Scripting however, by using a specific macro to retrieve it from the system first.

Is it because you have the apostrophe betwen the 'y' and 's'? the command is Todays Date

The advanced scripting code is

Sub Main
 Dim Todays As Date
 Todays = Now
 SendDragonKeys WeekdayName(Weekday(Todays)) & " "

 SendDragonKeys Day(Todays) & ", "
 SendDragonKeys MonthName(Month(Todays)) & " " & Year(Todays)
End Sub

As you have DNS Premium, you would need to modify this to include it as a KnowBrainer command.

Another option might be to create a command called Todays Date

SendKeys  Format(Now,  "dd mmmm yyyy" )

Jomark:

Thanks for the reply.  Tried it, and still the cursor goes from bookmark 1 (where I want to insert the date) to bookmark 2 without executing and inserting the date.

Check to see if you have the commands "Todays Date" and "Yesterdays Date" listed in your KnowBrainer system.dvc commands. If not you will need to create them.

I am using DNS Pro and the KnowBrainer commands in the Knowbrainer Extras folder are in advanced scripting format and were inserted into the DNS command browser.

Advanced scripting ability is not available in DNS Premium  but you can create these commands in KnowBrainer.
