Macro functions
Powerful macro functions allows you to use dynamic contents in your phrases, such as customizable time/date stamp, date math, fill-ins, custom forms consisting of input boxes, check boxes, radio buttons, drop-down selections, etc.
Macro functions must be created in PhraseExpress for MacOS or Windows as the desktop versions have much better editing capabilities than mobile devices.
You can use pre-filled emails, link or nest phrases, alternate or randomize phrases, perform calculations and string operations, compute conditional statements and much more.
The PhraseExpress App supports use of a selection of the PhraseExpress Mac client macro functions.
Supported macro functions:
#insert, #calc, #date, #time, #datetime, #rnd, #sleep, #insertclipboard, #setclipboard, #input, #settemp, #gettemp, #loop, #check, #randomtext, #cond, #asc, #setphrase, #length, #substr, #trim, #trimleft, #trimright, #replace, #pos, #lowercase, #uppercase, #lowercasefirst, #uppercasefirst, #lowercaseword, #uppercaseword, #autotext, #prefix, #postfix, #lastpos.
Following macro functions must be executed through the App (vs. PhraseExpress keyboard):
#form, #formtext, #formeditbox, #formcheckbox, #formcombobox, #formcalendar, #formphrasecombo, #formnum, #formslider, #formradiogroup, #formgroup, #formcheckcombo, #url.
Some macro functions are adapted for use with mobile devices and do not have the entire feature set of the Mac/Windows version.
