AutoMate provides a library of additional functions that extend the functionality of the AutoMate Scripting Engine beyond the capabilities of that the basic VBA-compatible engine provides. These functions, collectively referred to as the "AutoMate Extended Functions", provide functions in several area to make generating AutoMate Scripts even easier. These functions include easier access to file functions, date/time manipulation, and viewing and modifying the attributes of a running task.
The extended functions can be used from within any AutoMate Script Action script just like regular VBA-compatible functions. When writing scripts outside AutoMate, the extended functions are accessible via standard automation methods in AMExtendedFunctions.DLL.
Example:
%ExtractFilePath("c:\program files\AutoMate 5\TaskEdit.exe")%
