Save a Background Script for future use

[JahanzebB]

During a recent TechNow video, I noticed that one of the Developer Evangelists was able to call a Background script by entering a shortcut in the Scripts - Background window. For example 'tn1235=

This resulted in a saved background script being populated in the background script window. I have some saved background scripts that I need to copy over from a text editor manually. How do I save a background script for future use?

Thanks,

JB

Hmm...curious if it was just a script include? Chuck would know.

You could use syntax editor macros to create macros

and fix scripts which is saved scripts that you can run in the background if you want

Simon, 

Thank you providing the links. I tested the syntax editor macros and those work great from a client script or background script. Is there a way to call any of these from a background script?

Thanks,

You can also store those scripts in script include and call them from Background script;
