timmyc Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hey all, Need a bit of a hand with this one. Essentially i am trying to copy an excel cell, paste it somewhere go back to excel, go down a cell and repeat until the cell is blank. I have a larger chunk of script that i will be using instead of this small task (copy and pasting into notepad) but i just wanted to loop something basic until i can get this working. This is my first time playing with AutoIt and excel. I suspect where i am going wrong is that i'm telling it to read a cell range in excel where as i need to tell it to read 1 cell at a time until cell = blank. Should i be adding in some logic where it increases the cell number each loop or should i be building an array from the column then calling back on those values? #include <Array.au3> #include <Excel.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> ;Essentially i am trying to copy an excel cell, paste it somewhere go back to excel, go down a cell and repeat untill the cell is blank Local $oExcel = _Excel_Open() Local $sWorkbook = @ScriptDir & "\Book1.xls" Local $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel, $sWorkbook) ;Unsure if instead of using a cell range i should be getting excel to read one cell, then in the next loop add a 1 to the cell and read again. Eg. Read A1 do function, read A2 do function Local $aResult = _Excel_RangeRead($oWorkbook,1, "A1:A14") Do WinActivate("Microsoft Excel - Book1.xls") Send("{CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}") ;Copy cell WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad") Send("{CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}") ;Paste cell WinActivate("Microsoft Excel - Book1.xls") ;Go down a cell Send("{ENTER}{ENTER}") Until $aResult = "" Exit Thanks for your help!

water Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Use a region as described in the wiki to read all cells until a blank cell is found. Then loop through the resulting array and send the cells to your application. $oRange = $oWorkBook.Activesheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
