This following code bugs because the csv filename (COTPMS1_20220701.txt_01072022_01h15m20s.csv) contains a special character (a dot) in addition of the extension. Is there a way to escape this special character ? I would like indeed to avoid to copy and rename the file in other directory.
Sub testSpecialCharacter()
Dim cn As Object
Dim rsT As Object
Dim fullpath As String, _
ExtendedProp As String, _
query As String
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rsT = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
fullpath = "C:\test\"
ExtendedProp = """text;HDR=NO"""
With cn
.Provider = "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;"
.connectionstring = "Data Source=" & fullpath & ";Extended Properties=" & ExtendedProp
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.Open
End With
query = "SELECT * FROM [COTPMS1_20220701.txt_01072022_01h15m20s.csv]"
rsT.Open query, cn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
rsT.Close
cn.Close
Set rsT = Nothing
Set cn = Nothing
End Sub
Thank you in advance

I managed to adapt a vba macro (which I also found here) and got it running. So when the macro is started a file dialog asks me for the source file and the output gives me the word count of this file into cell "A1".
Public Sub word_counter()
Dim objWord As Object, objDocument As Object
Dim strText As String
Dim lngIndex As Long
Dim cellrange As String
Dim intChoice As Integer
Dim strPath As String
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = False
Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).AllowMultiSelect = False
intChoice = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).Show
strPath = Application.FileDialog( _
msoFileDialogOpen).SelectedItems(1)
Set objDocument = objWord.documents.Open(strPath)
strText = objDocument.Content.Text
objDocument.Close SaveChanges:=False
For lngIndex = 0 To 31
strText = Replace(strText, Chr$(lngIndex), Space$(1))
Next
Do While CBool(InStr(1, strText, Space$(2)))
strText = Replace(strText, Space$(2), Space$(1))
Loop
Sheets("calc tool").Select
Range("A1") = UBound(Split(strText, Space$(1)))
objWord.Quit
Set objDocument = Nothing
Set objWord = Nothing
End Sub
Now i want to add the filename to the output as text in cell "A2" right next to the word count of this file.
A1: 1234 A2: filename.docx
I tried to add the solution described in the SOF question 12687536
here!
The results were disappointing and i ran into compiling errors or run time error '91'
This was one of my solutions which didn't work out.
Public Sub word_count()
Dim objWord As Object, objDocument As Object
Dim strText As String
Dim lngIndex As Long
Dim cellrange As String
Dim intChoice As Integer
Dim strPath As String
Dim filename As String
Dim cell As Range
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = False
Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).AllowMultiSelect = False
intChoice = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).Show
strPath = Application.FileDialog( _
msoFileDialogOpen).SelectedItems(1)
Set objDocument = objWord.documents.Open(strPath)
strText = objDocument.Content.Text
objDocument.Close SaveChanges:=False
For lngIndex = 0 To 31
strText = Replace(strText, Chr$(lngIndex), Space$(1))
Next
Do While CBool(InStr(1, strText, Space$(2)))
strText = Replace(strText, Space$(2), Space$(1))
Loop
Sheets("calc tool").Select
Range("A1") = UBound(Split(strText, Space$(1)))
filename = Application.GetOpenFilename
cell = Application.Range("A2")
cell.Value = filename
objWord.Quit
Set objDocument = Nothing
Set objWord = Nothing
End Sub
Any idea how to make this work?
You have to select a sheet before you can use Range().
Thus change
cell = Application.Range("A2")
cell.Value = filename
to
Range("A2") = filename
or better
Application.ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Value = filename
and you write the filename into the cell A2 in your active sheet.
I have to save a lot of dxf files from Solidworks to use for a CNC machine.
I'm looking for help to create a macro to save each configuration of the part as the top view of a part as a .dxf in the same location as the Solidworks file is saved.
I have found two macros which I kind of need to be combined together.
The first one saves all configurations separately as part files
The second one saves a part as a dxf of the top view.
It would be much appreciated if anyone could help me
first macro:
' Macro created by Jeff Parker CSWP/MCP 12/30/02
'
' Rev.1 = Added completion message box. Also verified SolidWorks 2005 compatabliity.

This question already has an answer here:
CScript and VBS to Remove Line Breaks from Text File
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have the following file, where each new line is created with the characters ~\r\n<CR><LF>.
Sample test file
I want to remove all occurrences of ~\r\n<CR><LF> and replace with "" (empty string) so that all the file data appears on a single line. To do this, I wrote a script in VBScript (replace.vbs) and I run it in the commandline with cscript replace.vbs "~\r\n<CR><LF>" "" - the first parameter is the original characters I want replace and the second parameter is the new text to write into the file.
My script can successfully replace regular text - for example, if I pass only <CR><LF> as the string to replace, it will work as expected. But my issue is when I pass the full ~\r\n<CR><LF>, it does not modify the file at all. I think it has something to do with the ~\r\n characters being incorrectly passed into the command.
The following is my script:
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2
strOldText = Wscript.Arguments(0)
strNewText = Wscript.Arguments(1)
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objStartFolder = "D:\FTP\Private\EDI\KleinschmidtTemp\"
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
if instr(objFile.Name,"BRO") <> 0 and instr(objFile.Name,".edi") <> 0 then
Set objFileToRead = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objStartFolder + objFile.Name, ForReading)
strText = objFileToRead.ReadAll
objFileToRead.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, strOldText, strNewText)
Set objFileToEdit = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objStartFolder + objFile.Name, ForWriting)
objFileToEdit.WriteLine strNewText
objFileToEdit.Close
objFSO.MoveFile objStartFolder + objFile.Name, "D:\FTP\Private\EDI\Kleinschmidt\Outgoing\" + objFile.Name
end if
Next
EDIT: So I found out that for our production files, <CR><LF> will not be plaintext - they are actually non printable ASCII control characters. So I made the following change to my script, I used the Chr() function to get these characters and properly replace them.
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2
'strOldText = Wscript.Arguments(0)
'strNewText = Wscript.Arguments(1)
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objStartFolder = "D:\FTP\Private\EDI\KleinschmidtTemp\"
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
if instr(objFile.Name,"BRO") <> 0 and instr(objFile.Name,".edi") <> 0 then
Set objFileToRead = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objStartFolder + objFile.Name, ForReading)
strText = objFileToRead.ReadAll
objFileToRead.Close
'strNewText = Replace(strText, strOldText, strNewText)
strNewText = Replace(strText, Chr(10), "") ' 10 is ASCII code for LF, line feed
strNewText = Replace(strNewText, Chr(13), "") ' 13 is ASCII code for CR, carriage return
Set objFileToEdit = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objStartFolder + objFile.Name, ForWriting)
objFileToEdit.WriteLine strNewText
objFileToEdit.Close
'objFSO.MoveFile objStartFolder + objFile.Name, "D:\FTP\Private\EDI\Kleinschmidt\Outgoing\" + objFile.Name
end if
Next
I still have one issue though... When I open the resulting file, everything is on a single line which is what I want. But my script does not remove the <CR><LF> at the very end of the file, so there is an extra blank line. How can I fix this?
New resulting file
This is far easier to do from the command line or in a batch file. But since you are using VBScript, here's what you need to do.
First, do away with the script arguments. Passing control characters to a script argument would be a nightmare to get working correctly. Instead, we'll hardcode the search into the script. If you absolutely need to do this using arguments, comment and I'll update the script to do that but it gets a lot more confusing.
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2
' strOldText = Wscript.Arguments(0)
strOldText = "~" & vbCrLf & "<CR><LF>"
' strNewText = Wscript.Arguments(1)
strNewText = ""
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objStartFolder = "D:\FTP\Private\EDI\KleinschmidtTemp\"
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
if instr(objFile.Name,"BRO") <> 0 and instr(objFile.Name,".edi") <> 0 then
Set objFileToRead = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objStartFolder + objFile.Name, ForReading)
strText = objFileToRead.ReadAll
objFileToRead.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, strOldText, strNewText)
Set objFileToEdit = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objStartFolder + objFile.Name, ForWriting)
objFileToEdit.WriteLine strNewText
objFileToEdit.Close
objFSO.MoveFile objStartFolder + objFile.Name, "D:\FTP\Private\EDI\Kleinschmidt\Outgoing\" + objFile.Name
end if
Next
EDIT
In response to the edit, you are adding the extra line to the file when you write it back. You're using:
objFileToEdit.WriteLine
The WriteLine method appends a new line character to the end of your string. Just use Write instead.
objFileToEdit.Write strNewText
I would try "~" & vbCrLF & "" as the search. vbCrLf is the constant for the new line carriage return combo.
You can do this in Notepad++, by turning on the 'Extended' Search Mode on in the find in replace dialog box. replace \r\n with \n.
It also appears you are doing this from a Window's machine, and if you have Cygwin, or git bash on your system you can also use sed, for example:
sed -i sed 's/\r$//' input
If you don't want to edit the file in place, and test the results exclude the -i flag.
I'm trying to export one of my queries to email using VBA in a table format. Similar to when you go to external data and click and E-Mail and it adds an attachment to outlook. Except I want it in the body. I put the following code in a button.
I found and made some changes to some code. This is what I have.
Private Sub Command5_Click()

If i click debug i get this highlighted in yellow. Anybody help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit
I tried a different approach which actually gave me the list in the body of the email. But it does it for the whole table instead of just the one record I want. This is what the SQL looks like of the query.
SELECT tblePMParts.[Part#], tblePMParts.PartDescription, tblePMParts.Qty, tblePMParts.Price

Somewhere in your code, put a line that says
X = [Forms]![fmremail]![Text1]
Put a breakpoint in your code (hopefully you know how to do that?) on that line. When the code breaks, press F8 to step to the next line, and then type ?X in the Immediate Window. Or you can just hover your mouse over the line with the break point. The point is, you need to see what your code thinks [Forms]![fmremail]![Text1] is equal to. If it's null, you have a problem with your reference. In that case, you may need to add ".Value" or ".Text" to the end of it.
Another thing to check is your datatype for WOID. if it's text, you need to surround it with single quotes.
strQry = "SELECT tblePMParts.[Part#], tblePMParts.PartDescription, tblePMParts.Qty, tblePMParts.Price " & _
"FROM tblePMParts " & _
"WHERE (((tblePMParts.WOID)='" & [Forms]![fmremail]![Text1] & "'));"
I have recovered some Word documents from a corrupted hard drive using a piece of software called photorec. The problem is that the documents' names can't be recovered; they are all renamed by a sequence of numbers. There are over 2000 documents to sort through and I was wondering if I could rename them using some automated process.
Is there a script I could use to find the first 10 letters in the document and rename it with that? It would have to be able to cope with multiple documents having the same first 10 letters and so not write over documents with the same name. Also, it would have to avoid renaming the document with illegal characters (such as '?', '*', '/', etc.)
I only have a little bit of experience with Python, C, and even less with bash programming in Linux, so bear with me if I don't know exactly what I'm doing if I have to write a new script.
How about VBScript? Here is a sketch:
FolderName = "C:\Docs\"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fldr = fs.GetFolder(Foldername)
Set ws = CreateObject("Word.Application")
For Each f In fldr.Files
If Left(f.name,2)<>"~$" Then
If InStr(f.Type, "Microsoft Word") Then
MsgBox f.Name
Set doc = ws.Documents.Open(Foldername & f.Name)
s = vbNullString
i = 1
Do While Trim(s) = vbNullString And i <= doc.Paragraphs.Count
s = doc.Paragraphs(i)
s = CleanString(Left(s, 10))
i = i + 1
Loop
doc.Close False
If s = "" Then s = "NoParas"
s1 = s
i = 1
Do While fs.FileExists(s1)
s1 = s & i
i = i + 1
Loop
MsgBox "Name " & Foldername & f.Name & " As " & Foldername & s1 _
& Right(f.Name, InStrRev(f.Name, "."))
'' This uses copy, because it seems safer

Word documents are stored in a custom format which places a load of binary cruft on the beginning of the file.
The simplest thing would be to knock something up in Python that searched for the first line beginning with ASCII chars. Here you go:
#!/usr/bin/python
import glob
import os
for file in glob.glob("*.doc"):
f = open(file, "rb")
new_name = ""
chars = 0
char = f.read(1)
while char != "":
if 0 < ord(char) < 128:
if ord("a") <= ord(char) <= ord("z") or ord("A") <= ord(char) <= ord("Z") or ord("0") <= ord(char) <= ord("9"):
new_name += char
else:
new_name += "_"
chars += 1
if chars == 100:
new_name = new_name[:20] + ".doc"
print "renaming " + file + " to " + new_name
f.close()
break;
else:
new_name = ""
chars = 0
char = f.read(1)
if new_name != "":
os.rename(file, new_name)
NOTE: if you want to glob multiple directories you'll need to change the glob line accordingly. Also this takes no account of whether the file you're trying to rename to already exists, so if you have multiple docs with the same first few chars then you'll need to handle that.
I found the first chunk of 100 ASCII chars in a row (if you look for less than that you end up picking up doc keywords and such) and then used the first 20 of these to make the new name, replacing anything that's not a-z A-Z or 0-9 with underscores to avoid file name issues.
