Hi zhouzh2,

I modified your macro to this:

cfg = document.Config;

	var userVSsetting = cfg.General.VirtualSpace;

	cfg.General.VirtualSpace = 'true';

	cfg.Save(); //enable VirtualSpace so that when inserting at '^a=nb=n...' will run normally.

	

	var i = prompt("Please enter the start number (not larger than 99)", 0);

	var n = prompt("Please enter the end number (not larger than 99)", 1); //promote

	

	if ((i == "")|| (n == "")){Quit();};

	if ((i > 99)|| (i < 0) || (n > 99)||(n < 0)) {alert("Error!"); Quit();}; //errors

	

	// Get current cursor position

	    var iCol = document.selection.GetActivePointX(eePosLogicalA);

	    var iLine = document.selection.GetActivePointY(eePosLogical);

	// Caculate the number of lines

	    var nLines = Math.abs(i-n)+1;

	

	status = "Inserting - Please Wait...";

	

	for (var j=0; j < nLines; j++) {

	    document.selection.SetActivePoint(eePosLogicalA, iCol, iLine+j);

	    if (i < n) { //ascending

	    	document.selection.Text = i;

	    	i++;

	    } else { //descending

	    	document.selection.Text = i;

	    	i--;

	    }

	}

	

	cfg.General.VirtualSpace = userVSsetting;

	cfg.Save();

	status = "Inserting Completed";

	Quit();

And observed an interesting issue, as you noticed:

when 1<i10, or when 10<i<=99 and n<10

The first number inserted will be the biggest one, I guess that’s why your macro fall into a infinite loop, but I can not figure out why this happens, perhaps a bug? 8-)
