I am trying to create a macro using FIndInFiles, but can’t see how to specify the search string without editing the macro.

Searching a set of folders with Shift JIS files on English XP means setting the encoding each time, which I would like to avoid.

Record Macro doesn’t seem to work, as when a new window opens there is no SaveAs option, it seems.

The Help says MsgBox is not allowed, and there is nothing about InputBox or an equivalent.

FindInFiles doesn’t seem to work with ‘document.selection.’

Is it possible to select text in an EMEditor window, assign that to a variable, then use that variable as the search string in FindInFiles method, all in one macro?

Or is there some other solution?

Thanks!

MsgBox is not available, but there are equivalent methods like alert() and comfirm(). prompt() is similiar to InputBox(). FindInFiles can use parameters and document.selection.Text can be used as a parameter.
