Hello,
I downloaded this app, recorded a macro that in essence updates a webpage, copies the contents into a textfile (appends) with 5 minutes interval. Works fine. I'm wondering however, if I can do this in the background, so that I can still continue to work in other windows and not getting interrupted be the execution of the macro?
I searched the Helpfile and this forum but was unable to find anything. If there's has been a discussion about this before, just point me in the right direction.

To push that task to the background you could use AHK's URLDownloadToFile command. If only a specific info from that page is of interest for you, parse the downloaded pages (source code) for those specifics. |

To make your PC responsive you could set "SetBatchLines" to a high value. Then there will be enough time slots for other programs you work with. _________________ Ciao
