Export data to Excel using AUTOIT

[Mosses]

Hi I am Mosses I am new to AutoIt scripting...

I want to copy or read data from one windows application and paste or export the value to excel.

Can anyone help me with this

Welcome to the forum. I can point you to the right direction. Check the help file - there are a lot of examples there.
 For excel you will need to check the _Excel UDF and functions. For the other part - it depends of the windows application.
 You will have to give more details.

Calling the function Send just returns true. You can assign the function call Send to a variable but you need to supply the parameters, or you can create a wrapper that does Send("^c or v") and assign that function call to a variable.

Global $send = Send
Global $send_ctrl_v = SendCtrlV
GLobal $send_ctrl_c = SendCtrlC

$send("^c")
$send("^v")

$send_ctrl_c()
$send_ctrl_v()

Func SendCtrlV()
    ConsoleWrite("SendCtrlV() Called" & @LF)
    Send("^v")
EndFunc

Func SendCtrlC()
    ConsoleWrite("SendCtrlC() Called" & @LF)
    Send("^c")
EndFunc

Why do you want to use Send? There may be a more efficient way to do what you want without using Send.

Good rule of thumb, if you can avoid using Send and MouseClick/MouseMove, do it.

Thanks for your quick reply Inuno Taishou.. 

I will try this...

[Mosses]

Hi Inuno Taishou... I tried the above provided script..

I am still getting Boolean value...

Thanks

 

[InunoTaishou]

What version of autoit are you using? That script executes and calls the corresponding functions and writes the call to the console for me

[Mosses]

I am using version 3.5.4

What I want to do is copy few data from an Windows Tool and paste it in a new excel....

 

[InunoTaishou]

What about using the _Excel_RangeCopyPaste UDF instead?

Thanks I will try with that

[Mosses]

Hi inuno I guess   _Excel_RangeCopyPaste UDF is used to copy and paste from Excel...

But in my case I copy from an 3rd party tool and paste it to an excel...

 

Thanks

Use ClipGet to retrieve text from the clipboard into a variable and then _Excel_RangeWrite to write the data to Excel.
If you need to copy formatted data then use _Excel_RangeCopyPaste to write data from the clipboard to Excel (see example 3 in the help file).

Hi how to find the last row in excel...???

 

[water]

Please have a look at the wiki.

$oRange = $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells($xlCellTypeLastCell).Row

Returns the number of the last used row.

[Juvigy]

$oExcel.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count

$oExcel.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

[water]

NB:
The result of this two statements is only true when the used range starts at cell A1.
If the first touched cell is on another cell then the result might be misleading as UsedRange only puts the touched cells into account.
For details please see the wiki as mentioned above.
