Hey, I am trying to create a macro that will create an initial alarm, and then 3 more alarms 5 minutes apart. I have done the best I can, and have managed to make it so I can put the amount of minutes in a user prompt/popup, which sets variables with 0, 5, 10 and 15 minutes added. 4 alarms are...

Thanks for your help but I'm getting a bit confused now. I tried the first thing, and put ".*?" in the "Text to match" of the text manipulation action, as well as variations of that, and I'm still getting either blank dialogs, or the full message

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but my current format is [v=SMSTriggerCharacter]NOTIFY[v=SMSTriggerCharacter](.*?)[v=SMSTriggerCharacter] where the variable is a # Hey, I did try this but the whole SMS message is being displayed

Hey, I tried changing them both to (.*?), but now the dialog isn't showing anything. The text portion where it should pull the variable is empty, as is the list of variables at the bottom of the macro page. The logs look normal

No it didn't fire, nothing in the system log. I did however, after some playing around with your message, change both the trigger and text extraction to (.*), which now works, however the dialog box/local variable keeps the entire SMS command, not just the message between the hash trigger characters

Hey, I have made several SMS commands to replace the functions of the once good Avast and AndroidLost apps. This one I'm stuck on. I'm trying to get part of my SMS to display in a dialog. I think I have the actions mostly right, but the macro doesn't activate in tests, so I've done something...

That'll be something for me to experiment with another day, but when my phone as internet, I can use the Google or Samsung Find My Phone tools to track the phone. While I personally do have backup access codes stuck on the back of a card in my wallet so I can access both accounts without two...

Thank you all for your help, but that message really sealed the deal and it now works as I was hoping! No wonder why I needed help though, the variables system is very complex and detailed! The Share Location action replies with a Google Maps link and works fine for this use case :D So to...

Hmm I'm getting a bit confused on how I can translate a number in the SMS in to having the actions repeat that amount of times I tried the SMS trigger of: [v=SMSTriggerCharacter]TRACK\d+[v=SMSTriggerCharacter] But the result didn't work properly:

That looks promising, I'll give that a go, thanks. But for now, I can't see to get the trigger working. My trigger is [v=SMSTriggerCharacter]TRACK[lv=TrackingSMSAmount][v=SMSTriggerCharacter] The trigger character bit works fine on other macros but with that trigger I'd expect to type #TRACK4#...

I would like to be able to specify a number in the trigger text to be able to send that many GPS updates a minute apart. I.e. if I text @TRACK10@, it will run through through actions to wait a minute and send a GPS update 10 times. I got the SMSTriggerCharacter variable to work perfectly but...

I always have my phone on vibrate, but would like it to ring if certain contacts call. I've tried various macros, including to change the ringer volume and configure the ringtone, as well as change the media volume, wait a second, and play another sound, among others, and none seem to work...
