There is a Calc file named as 'Data.ods' with a sheet named 'DataSheet' which should be saved in a 'Data.csv' file in the current directory using {tab} as field delimiter and double quoted data fields. How to implement this in LO Basic macro?
You have not specified whether the macro should open the 'Data.ods' spreadsheet or whether it is already open. This code works with the current spreadsheet:
Sub Generate_CSV()
Dim sURL As String ' URL of current spreadsheet
Dim FileN As String ' URL of target CSV-file
Dim oCurrentController As Object ' Before save - activate sheet sSheetName
Dim storeParms(2) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
Const sSheetName = "DataSheet"
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools") ' Only for GetFileName
sURL = thisComponent.getURL()
If Not thisComponent.getSheets().hasByName(sSheetName) Then
MsgBox ("Sheet """ & sSheetName & """ Not Found In Current Spreadsheet")
Exit Sub
EndIf
FileN = GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sURL) & ".csv" ' For Data.ods it will be Data.csv
REM Options to StoreTo:
storeParms(0).Name = "FilterName"
storeParms(0).Value = "Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)"
storeParms(1).Name = "FilterOptions"
storeParms(1).Value = "9,34,,65535,1,,0,true,true,true"
REM About this string see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Filter_Options
storeParms(2).Name = "Overwrite"
storeParms(2).Value = True
REM Activate sheet for export - select "DataSheet"
thisComponent.getCurrentController().setActiveSheet(thisComponent.getSheets().getByName(sSheetName))
REM storeToURL can raises com.sun.star.io.IOException! Only now:
On Error GoTo Errorhandle
REM Export
thisComponent.storeToURL(FileN,storeParms())
MsgBox ("No Error Found,Upload file is saved : """ + ConvertFromUrl(FileN) + """.")
Exit Sub
Errorhandle:
MsgBox ("Modifications Are Not Saved,Upload File Not Generated" & chr(13) _
& "May be table " & ConvertFromUrl(FileN) & " is open in another window?")
Exit Sub
Resume
End Sub

I create a passthru query SELECTINg rows of a Postgres v.11 database table.
Running currentDb.execute generates ODBC error 3146 and "invalid argument" mentioned in DBEngine.errors.
Opening same query in the database explorer generates ODBC error 3146 and a message box with "permission denied ..." which actually reflects the source of error.
My questions is how can I programmatically get hold of latter more informative error message ?
I think the following will provide what you are looking for:
Public Function DbEngineErrors() As String
Dim intErr As Integer
Dim strRet As String
Dim strErr As String
If DBEngine.Errors.Count > 0 Then
strRet = "DbEngineErrors:"
For intErr = 0 To DBEngine.Errors.Count - 1
strErr = DBEngine.Errors(intErr).Number & " / " & DBEngine.Errors(intErr).Description & " / " & DBEngine.Errors(intErr).Source
strRet = strRet & vbCrLf & strErr
Next
End If
DbEngineErrors = strRet
End Function
Whether there is any way to close and open cd-drive using cmd?
I can open it like this:
powershell (New-Object -com "WMPlayer.OCX.7").cdromcollection.item(0).eject()
But idk how to close it
(Of course I can push it in, but i mean how i can close it with cmd)
Found on Google with keywords :
powershell close cd rom drive

I've searched far and wide to find an way to close the Excel process, but almost everybody uses .Quit sadly it gives the above error. I've also tried .Close, but that is not recognized

Found some code on a different side.
The reason why (as far as I understood) is that .Quit and .Close is for VBA not VBS.

I want to be able to run a program through command line and I want to start it with VbScript. I also want to get the output of the command line and assign it to a variable and I want all this to be done silently without cmd windows popping up. I have managed two things separately but not together. Here's what I got so far.
Run the command from cmd and get output:
Dim WshShell, oExec
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("C:\snmpget -c public -v 2c 10.1.1.2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.6798.3.1.1.1.5.1")
x = oExec.StdOut.ReadLine
Wscript.Echo x
The above script works and does what I want except that cmd pops up for a brief moment.
Here's a script that will run silently but won't grab the output
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("C:\snmpset -c public -v 2c -t 0 10.1.1.2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.6798.3.1.1.1.7.1 i 1", 0, true)
Is there a way to get these two to work together?
Let me give you a background on why I want do to this. I am basically polling a unit every 5-10 minutes and I am going to get the script to email or throw a message box when a certain condition occurs but I don't want to see cmd line popping up all day long on my computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks
You can redirect output to a file and then read the file:
return = WshShell.Run("cmd /c C:\snmpset -c ... > c:\temp\output.txt", 0, true)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set file = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\output.txt", 1)
text = file.ReadAll
file.Close
I have taken this and various other comments and created a bit more advanced function for running an application and getting the output.
Example to Call Function: Will output the DIR list of C:\ for Directories only. The output will be returned to the variable CommandResults as well as remain in C:\OUTPUT.TXT.
CommandResults = vFn_Sys_Run_CommandOutput("CMD.EXE /C DIR C:\ /AD",1,1,"C:\OUTPUT.TXT",0,1)
Function
Function vFn_Sys_Run_CommandOutput (Command, Wait, Show, OutToFile, DeleteOutput, NoQuotes)
'Run Command similar to the command prompt, for Wait use 1 or 0. Output returned and
'stored in a file.
'Command = The command line instruction you wish to run.
'Wait = 1/0; 1 will wait for the command to finish before continuing.
'Show = 1/0; 1 will show for the command window.
'OutToFile = The file you wish to have the output recorded to.
'DeleteOutput = 1/0; 1 deletes the output file. Output is still returned to variable.
'NoQuotes = 1/0; 1 will skip wrapping the command with quotes, some commands wont work
' if you wrap them in quotes.

tCommand = Command

I am pretty new to all of this, but I found that if the script is started via CScript.exe (console scripting host) there is no window popping up on exec(): so when running:
cscript myscript.vbs //nologo
any .Exec() calls in the myscript.vbs do not open an extra window, meaning
that you can use the first variant of your original solution (using exec).
(Note that the two forward slashes in the above code are intentional, see cscript /?)
Here I found a solution, which works for me:
set wso = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
set exe = wso.Exec("cmd /c dir /s /b d:\temp\*.jpg")
sout = exe.StdOut.ReadAll
Look for assigning the output to Clipboard (in your first script) and then in second script parse Clipboard value.
#Mark Cidade
Thanks Mark! This solved few days of research on wondering how should I call this from the PHP WshShell. So thanks to your code, I figured...
function __exec($tmppath, $cmd)
{
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$tmpf = rand(1000, 9999).".tmp"; // Temp file
$tmpfp = $tmppath.'/'.$tmpf; // Full path to tmp file
$oExec = $WshShell->Run("cmd /c $cmd -c ... > ".$tmpfp, 0, true);
// return $oExec == 0 ? true : false; // Return True False after exec
return $tmpf;
}
This is what worked for me in my case. Feel free to use and modify as per your needs. You can always add functionality within the function to automatically read the tmp file, assign it to a variable and/or return it and then delete the tmp file.
Thanks again #Mark!

it saves your .bat file to "Appdata of current user" ,if it does not exist and remove the attributes
and after that set the "hidden" attributes to file after writing your cmd code
and run it silently and capture all output saves it to file
so if u wanna save all output of cmd to file just add your like this
code > C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\output.txt
just replace word "code" with your .bat file code or command and after that the directory of output file
I found one code recently after searching alot
if u wanna run .bat file in vb or c# or simply
just add this in the same manner in which i have written
