Hi,

I've been using the macro tag2text.ba for awhile now but I'd like to learn how it was coded. Does anyone have the source code for this macro? If so, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

The file you speak of is a "complied" BASIC program file. Hence the extension is "*.BA"

You're searching for the "*.BAS" file, which is the source file (the non-compiled version).

You can create your own from within MicroStation.
type MACRO DEBUG
hit the enter key

But it sounds like you want to "DE-COMPILE" the BA file.
You'd have to do a search on "un-compiling BASIC files".

Note that this quest will not be an EZ search.
It's like asking to De-Code an EXE file.

You're about to cross the line of "COPY RIGHTS".
And begin to dewell in the realm of "hackers" & "crackers".
Although it sounds like you're just trying to learn something new.

I would try checking out books on BASIC (the computer language).

Sorry I couldn't offer more.
But I hope this focuses you in the right direction.

Where did you get the macro and what does it do?
