Create Macro From .txt File?

i don't think that's officially supported, but you can import through an ASCII file. i suggest starting with an empty showfile, creating a simple macro and then exporting as ASCII. have a look at the format. if the text file has the exact right spelling you might be able to import the macro.

Thanks for the reply. Hmmmm. I'll try it out tonight. eos moderator Is it remotely within the realm of possibility to add an 8th softkey that says "Import" to the Macro Contents context? That softkey would pull up a file browser (like the one from CIA) from which you would select a .txt.

With all the people sharing macros online, this seems like a no-brainer to me.

Sounds like a feature request to me. But let me add that Eos has a very selective merge function. Staying within a showfile that has a defined format seems a lot less error-prone to transport a macro than a text file with undefined format.

In my use case, I have Python auto-generating the text file, so as long as my end-user doesn't mess with the txt file, there are no error concerns.
