get value of file name when using fileopendialog


Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this, I have a need to write a script that will allow me to open 2 Excel files, copy the value in some of the fields and paste it into another Excel file.

I'm able to open the Excel files, however I cannot bring to focus the Excel file where I need to paste the info in I'm using (WinActivate) I'm not sure how to find out the file name after running the FileOpenDiolog command, it gives me the full file path and I only need the name of the file and don't really understand how to call it.

Here is my code so far, please let me know what I can be doing wrong... thx so much

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

; Script Start -

#include <Excel.au3>

$message = "Please Browse to Excel Utility Calculations the Month you will be working on."

$uCalc = FileOpenDialog($message, @ScriptDir & "\", "Images (*.xls; *.xlsx)", 1) ; Opens dialog box to search for Utility Calculation Excel file.

If @error Then

MsgBox(4096,"","No File(s) chosen")

Else

$uCalc = StringReplace($uCalc, "|", @CRLF)

MsgBox(0,"Please Verify this is the Utility Calculations File current month","You chose the following spreadsheet " & $uCalc)

EndIf

$oExecel = _ExcelBookOpen($uCalc)

If @error = 1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error!", "Unable to Create the Excel Object")

Exit

ElseIf @error = 2 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error!", "File does not exist - Please Try Again!")

Exit

EndIf

$message2 = "Please Browse to Excel Meter Read." ; Opens Second dialog box to search for Meter Read Excel File.

$mRead = FileOpenDialog($message2, @ScriptDir & "\", "Images (*.xls; *.xlsx)", 1)

If @error Then

MsgBox(4096,"","No File(s) chosen")

Else

$mRead = StringReplace($mRead, "|", @CRLF) ; this is where I'm taking the information from ****************************

MsgBox(4096,"This should be the Meter Read Excel File.","You chose " & $mRead)

EndIf

$oExecel2 = _ExcelBookOpen($mRead)

If @error = 1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error!", "Unable to Create the Excel Object")

Exit

ElseIf @error = 2 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error!", "File does not exist - Please Try Again!")

Exit

EndIf ; End of opening Excel Files.

; Attempt to read file cells

$sCellValue = _ExcelReadCell($oExecel2, 2, 2) ;Reads Meter Read Excel File Cell B2 and displays in dialog box.

MsgBox(0,"", "Corp Yard: " & $sCellValue)

MsgBox(0, "", $uCalc)

WinActivate("[CLASS:XLMAIN]", $uCalc)

Please have a look at function _PathSplit. Splits a path into the drive, directory, file name and file extension parts.
