Re: Strip out specific characters from string

Not being a Regex guru, my approach would simply be to let that happen and then change it back again with another replace. I do realise that's somewhat of a bodge.

Re: Strip out specific characters from string

I'd also be inclined use ReadFile instead of ReadLn and then Between/Regex to get anything between dc:title and />

Re: Strip out specific characters from string

I think I'd do this in stages and take the approach of grabbing everything between content= and /> , use StringReplace to replace the &, then Regex to remove all non alphanumeric characters. But I'm no Regex expert - there may be others here who can do it all in one go. Let>TheHTML=<meta name="dc:ti...

Re: Convert GetFileDate

GetFileDate : The date returned is in the format YYYYMMDD

DatePart : The date should be in a format recognised by the system.

We can use MidStr though.

Code: Select all

filedate>%Original%,fd

MidStr>%fd%,1,4,yr
MidStr>%fd%,5,2,mn
MidStr>%fd%,7,2,dt

I don't have time to test but if multiple usage is the problem, might SHARING the files alleviate the issue?
I just tried it and unfortunately still had the same issue.

Re: OnEvent

Excel can perform custom data verification... nodochau might have an alternate method to accomplish his task. I'm still curious about why XLGetCell> would crash if it is used to monitor cell input. Seems like this should work. I just experimented with your example and it throws that error even if I...

Re: OnEvent

Excel can perform custom data verification, so this operation can be achieved entirely within Excel, taking the upper and lower values and giving a popup if anything outside those parameters is entered anywhere within a given range. It's in >Data >Data Verification >Data Tools I think then it's >Set...

Re: Saving multiple variables in a loop

Have you tried this? : XLGetSelectedCell>xlBook,data_%k%,intRow,intCol It'll then be in an array. You don't need this line : Let>data=%data% %k% Then to output the data you can do something like this : ArrayCount>data,count let>OutputLoop=0 repeat>OutputLoop Let>OutputLoop=OutputLoop+1 MDL>data_%Out...

Re: How To Keep Adding Rows in Excel Without Closing

This should get you started. The principle is to open the Excel file first, before the loop, then add one to Row in a loop : //PseudoCode XLOpen>...

Re: Runtime error 216 at *address*

This was a bit beyond me so I asked Marcus.

This is what he had to say :
If it's compiled, enable logging, run it and when the error occurs don't close error but grab log file, see where it got to
