5.5 Editing the Scripts of a Macro
You can click the script button in
the VME to view the script for current macro at current status.
All information of an Autowork macro is saved in a script file
(filename.awm). This is a plain text file if the macro is not encrypted. If
it's encrypted by a password (you can set or clear the password in macro
properties page), you cannot read the awm file in a plain text editor directly.
You
can click the Read Source button in the VME to
read script for the macro in VME in current status. This is not the original
script file of the macro, but a temporarily created plain text script file to
reflect
current status of the macro. You can read this temporary script file in
plain text even if the macro is an encrypted macro. This temporarily script
file will be removed after you have exit VME.
This
command is designed just for you to have a chance to read the script file of the macro
in current status. You cannot edit the temporary script file and save it and
reload to VME. Since VME is already a convenient visual editor, there is no
need for you to edit script file directly. Any way, if you really like to edit a macro by editing its
script file, you can exit VME and edit the original script file directly. Then
when you reload the macro into the VME, all your changes will be applied.
