Calling a macro from another macro while a condition is met

[c0d3crunch3r]

I am trying to find a way to run only part of a macro from another macro while a variable condition is met. Let's call it "switch". I want to call macro1 from within another macro(macro2) while switch=1 and "turn macro1 off" when switch=0. The switch variable is just a dummy in macro1 whose only purpose is to switch macro1 on and off from macro2. I tried using a do while loop but I don't think that it checks the value constantly...any thoughts would be helpful

Also my code is part of a project of macros that interact and is about 1500 lines long and I am trying to slim it out by not having to repeat code. That's why I am trying to call only portions of macros.

For that to work, you'd need to declare Switch as a global variable outside all the procedures. In that way, the variable is declared only once and all the procedures can "see" it.

Other than that, you're approach should work.

Note that when you say "run part of a macro", that cries out for that part of the code to be a re-usable subroutine or function to which you (could) pass parameters.

Thanks for the help! I got it to work. I just made additional subroutines and called them as needed.

You're welcome.
