Get data from Excel?

[azman]

Hi!

I made a script to get get data from excel and insert tinto a array. However, event "press Ctrl C" not work correctly! It can't get data in a cell?? Here is my script:

RUN("c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\EXCEL.EXE")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Excel - Book1")

Send("^o")

WinWaitActive("Open","MSO Generic Control Container")

Send("C:\data.xls")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Excel - data")

Send("^{HOME}")

$flag1=0

$count=0

$str=""

While $flag1=0

Send("^C")

$str=ClipGet()

Sleep(2000)

Msgbox(0, "MessageBox", $str)

If $str="END" Then

$flag1=1

Else

$count=$count+1

$maso[$count]=$str

Send("{DOWN}")

Sleep(2000)

$flag1=0

EndIf

WEnd

Thanks!!!

The best solution is to use Excel VBA with AutoItX.dll and you will not have this issue.

How to use Excel with AutoItX? I searched but can find any topic about this issue.

Thanks for help!

I unzip and run examples but these script(ExcelAutomationTest...) , contain error!!!

Ex:

Line 6 (File "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\AutoIt3.1.0.15I\tests\com\ExcelAutomationTest.au3"):

$MyExcel = ObjCreate("Excel.Application") ; Create an Excel Object

$MyExcel = ^ ERROR

Error: Unknown function name.

I think didn't unzip the files to your autoitV3.1 install folder.

Which means you had to overwrite the downloaded files into the folder which you install your AutoIT version 3.1. (Default: C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\)

Wow!!!! It worked! But when I click OK then:

---------------------------

AutoIt Error

---------------------------

Line 48 (File "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\tests\com\ExcelFastTest.au3"):

$MyExcel.activeworkbook.saved = 1 ; To prevent 'yes/no' questions from Excel

$MyExcel.activeworkbook^ ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

But it is not problem ! I thinks it will help me a lot!

Thanks for your help!

Only test!!!

; Excel file Automation Example

;

; Based on AutoItCOM version 3.1.0

;

; Beta version 06-02-2005

; An Excel file with filename Worksheet.xls must be created in the root directory

; of the C:\ drive in order for this example to work.

$FileName="C:\Worksheet.xls"

if not FileExists($FileName) then

Msgbox (0,"Excel File Test","Can't Open, because you didn't create the Excel file "& $FileName)

Exit

endif

; Mind the double backslashes in this line

$oExcelDoc = ObjGet("c:\\Worksheet.xls") ; Get an Excel Object from an existing filename

if IsObj($oExcelDoc) then

MsgBox(0,"","Value(1,1)= " &$oExcelDoc.activesheet.cells(1,1).value)

else

Msgbox (0,"Excel File Test","Error: Could not open "& $FileName & " as an Excel Object.")
