Insert Silence at each Marker? -Sound Forge - Scripting

Subject:Insert Silence at each Marker? Posted by: Mike the K. Date:11/16/2015 7:37:34 AM I'd like a simple SF 10 Pro script to step through an open wav file and insert 2 secs of silence at each existing marker. (Maybe if it's easy, prompt for the silence length.) I have the Scripting SDK, but I don't see a way to do this and I'm on a deadline. It sounds simple, so can someone either point me in the right direction, or (in a perfect world) put together a script for me? :^) Thanks! -Mike.

I can try and script it for you, but I'm not sure when I'll have free time. It could be a couple of days. If you want to give it a go, look through the sample scripts provided with the SDK to find out how to operate on an open file window. Or do a search of this forum. I did a search for Marker and found this exchange I had with someone. The code inside deals loosely with stepping through markers and performing an operation, which is most of what you want to do.[url]http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/showmessage.asp?forumid=27&messageid=933271 -Rob.

I missed that; I should have looked more closely... Anyway, I should be able to take it from here. BTW, I did an Autohotkey script until I figure out SF scripting. I was pleased to find that it sends the key shortcuts for Insert Silence and OK before the Insert Silence window even appears, which makes it pretty fast... Thanks again, -Mike.
