Is it possible to pass variables between macros?

If you want an example have a look at this thread

Subroutine to Perform Search/Replace Using Variable Patterns

A user was trying to perform Search/Replace operations using regex patterns stored in KM Variables and ran into a problem as discussed in depth here: It turns out that if the patterns contain capture groups and their replacement tokens then using KM variables to store these patterns won't work since it would require KM to apply token expansion twice (once for the variable token and secondly for the string held in said variable). In any case a solution was found and I've created a generally-us…

It is a fully documented subroutine macro together with an example macro that calls it. There are others to be found such as this one

Subroutine to Extract a Number of Lines from the Start of a List of Items

Purpose This subroutine extracts a specified number of lines (chunk size) from the start of a list held in a text file. Those lines are returned to the calling macro. Additionally, those lines are removed from the start of the list and, optionally, they are appended at the end of the list after which the list is written back to the file. Diagrammatically This shows the list (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) before and after a single call with a chunk size of 3. Starting List Consume: 'No' Consume: …

Which also gives a subroutine and an example macro that calls it.
