Hi, this is my macro and my contacts.txt files.
As I don't know whether it is possible to read a text file via a script shell on a non rooted device in MD, I would suggest, if it's possible for you, to store your phone numbers directly in a local or global string variable you could manually modify every time you need to.
Another detail I noticed: in your first 'Extract text' action you wrote the following Regex rule \d[0-9]+. As \d already stands for digits from 0 to 9, [0-9] is unnecessary and \d+ will give you the same result...
The 2 'Replace all' action that follow it could be gathered in 1 by adding the separator (comma in your example) to the [lv=ContNum] in order to replace the whole string by an empty one (i.e. to erase it from the original list). My suggestion would be not to replace the separator (that even could be a new line) to avoid problems if the last number of the list happens not to be followed by the seperator. Just test if the extracted number '[lv=ContNum]' is empty to exit the loop.
Haha... While seeing your screenshots it's hard to imagine you are not a programmer. Now I understand you probably used an existing macro in the store!
Ok, let me some more time and and I will write something for you...
Yes i did used an existing macro from the store. Much appreciated. I am looking forward to your reply.
I am familiar to some degree with Macrodroid. I managed to create a macro on my own that starts the hotspot when my phone starts, but that does not compare with what you and other professionals are creating here. With all my limitations, i am able to see that MacroDroid is far much better than any other platform. Also, while browsing i noticed that the community here is awesome!
Here you have. Hope it will help you.

If you need something more 'elaborated' you could use it as a starting base and customize it at your convenience.
ok, i have imported this macro and i don't know where to add my path to the list ( for ex my path in my phone is /storage/emulated/0/Download/testmacro.txt) and the path with the actual text message is /storage/emulated/0/Download/sms.txt. where shall i add these paths in order to send the sms to the phone numbers located in the file testmacro.txt?
As I told you, I don't think it's possible to read a text file and store its content in a variable with MD.
Unless someone knows a way to do that, you could open your text file with a dedicated app (even in your browser), copy its whole content in the clipboard and then paste it in the variable I named 'OriginalListOfNumbers'
i never tried it myself but according to Jacob this can be done with the shell script action.
