[mfg-smartcam] V11.5 macro help

[Mike Senack]

Could anybody out there show me a way to get a string variable into the ending part of a file name. Below is my attempt. What I would like is for this macro to prompt me to enter a two digit number like 052 and place it on the drive path & partial file name in the MERGE command. So the file name would go from this "w:\\360\\FLATS\\flat???" (where the ??? would be the string variable) to this "w:\\360\\FLATS\\flat052"   // Advanced_Wedm 11.5 Windows 10/16/98 16:48:10 Macro File // w:\mcl\mf.mcl // CREATED: 03/18/00 //  // STRING: #VAR1 //  MERGE[FN="w:\\360\\FLATS\\flat #VAR1", FT=2, XS=0, YS=0, ZS=0]  // need help on this line // VIEW_ANGLE[A1=0, A2=0, VA=2, VP=0, RS=1, WP=0] VIEW_ANGLE[A1=0, A2=0, VA=2, VP=0, RS=1, WP=0]   Below is a sample from another macro that I've made using the Pause box to appear to enter a numeric value. This would be what I would like happen for a string variable input without any checking.   //  check HEIGHT variable // WHILE(#HEIGHT<=0)// check HEIGHT to see if it is bigger then zero // the \n acts a c/r page 66 Automating SmartCAM with Macros  PAUSE[TX="ERROR: The HEIGHT of the dimension must\n                   be greater then zero!", PT=1] // Include box cancel option     #HEIGHT=1000000  // this resets HEIGHT variable to an unknown value ENDW // Thanks for any help.     Michael Senack, Your local friendly neighborhood CNC Programmer.
