Macro LocalVar using LocalVar in filename on Export - macros

I asked a similar question awhile back which got a response, and I applied their logic but it still doesn't work.
Here is what I'm doing
I am setting the LocalVar fine, this works.
But I want to add it to the end of the filename, but it comes out literally exactly the way it looks in the Filename.
This is my output:
Anyone know what's going on? Am I missing something?

You are missing some double quotes. You have ...
="\\fhnsrv02\CCAIFTP\CCAICMSO\Dropoff\CMSO_PROV_Extract--SPD & [LocalVars]![FileDate] & .xlsx"
... which is one long literal string. Try this instead:
="\\fhnsrv02\CCAIFTP\CCAICMSO\Dropoff\CMSO_PROV_Extract--SPD" & [LocalVars]![FileDate] & ".xlsx"

How to replace content within quotes via a file

Why I cannot use str_replace() to replace content between the ""? While I replace links within a file they get skipped since they are within quotes.
Example.
href="/path/to/file/is/here"
should be
href="/New/Path/To/File/Goes/Here"
If the paths/urls were not in quotes, str_replace() would work.
I'm assuming this is PHP. So, from the examples here:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php
You can see that you should not intercalate the same type of quotes.
So try changing the quotes in your code to single quotes or, change, the double quotes in your html to single quotes.
If that's not it, I hope at least that doc reference helps you.
This might help I usually code in java but php is pretty similar. Next time input part of your code so that the community can see your logic.
In your if statement on line 67 the 3rd variable $stringToSearch should be regex not the string your assigning it to. The purpose of regex as you know is to replace characters you don't want in your code as you already know
What you had that was not working:
// replacing string from files
//$stringToSearch = str_replace('"', "!!", $stringToSearch);
$stringToSearch = str_replace($toBeReplaced, $toBeReplacedWith, $stringToSearch);
//$stringToSearch = str_replace("!!", '"', $stringToSearch);
What I am thinking it should be:
$stringToRegex = str_replace('"', "!!", $stringToSearch);
$stringToSearch = str_replace($toBeReplaced, $toBeReplacedWith, $stringToRegex );
If anyone else has any suggestion it would be appreciated as i don't code in php.

Removing quotes that seem to be nonexistent in MatLab

I have an application that translates the .csv files I currently have into the correct format I need. But, the files I that I do have seem to have '"' double quotes around them, as seen in this image, which will not work with the program. As a result, I'm using this command to remove them:
for m = 1:currentsize(1)
for n = 1:currentsize(2)
replacement{m,n} = strrep(current{m,n}, '"', '');
end
end
I'm not entirely sure that this works though, as it spits this back at me as it runs:
Warning: Inputs must be character arrays or cell arrays of strings.
When I open the file in matlab, it seems to only have the single quotes around it, which is normal for any other file. However, when I open it in notepad++, it seems to have '"' double quotes around everything. Is there a way to remove these double quotes in any other way? My code doesn't seem to do anything as seen here:
After using xlswrite to write the replacement cell-array to a .csv file, one appears corrupted. Any idea why?
So, my questions are:
Is there any way to remove the quotes in a more efficient manner or without rewriting to a csv?
and
What exactly is causing the corruption in the xlswrite function? The variable replacement seems perfectly normal.
Thanks in advance!
Regarding the "corrupted" file. That's not a corrupted file, that's an xls file (not xlsx). You could verify this opening the text file in a hex editor to compare the signature. This happens when you chose no file extension or ask excel to write a file which can't be encoded into csv. I assume it's some character which causes the problems, try to isolate the critical line writing only parts of the cell.
Regarding your warning, not having the actual input I could only guess what's wrong. Again, I can only give some advices to debug the problem yourself. Run this code:
lastwarn('')
for m = 1:currentsize(1)
for n = 1:currentsize(2)
replacement{m,n} = strrep(current{m,n}, '"', '');
if ~isempty(lastwarn)
keyboard
lastwarn('')
end
end
end
This will launch the debugger when a warning is raised, allowing you to check the content of current{m,n}
It is mentionned in the documentation of strrep that :
The strrep function does not find empty strings for replacement. That is, when origStr and oldSubstr both contain the empty string (''), strrep does not replace '' with the contents of newSubstr.
You can use this user function substr like this :
for m = 1:currentsize(1)
for n = 1:currentsize(2)
replacement{m,n} = substr(current{m,n}, 2, -1);
end
end
Please use xlswrite function like this :
[status,message] = xlswrite(___)
and check the status if it is zero, that means the function did not succeed and an error message is generated in message as string.

How to print variable inside function

I'm using RRDs::Simple function and it needs bunch of parameters.
I have placed these parameters in a special variable (parsing, sorting and calculating data from a file) with all quotes, commas and other stuff.
Of course
RRDs::create ($variable);
doesn't work.
I've glanced through all perl special variables and have found nothing.
How to substitute name of variable for the data that contained in that variable?
At least could you tell me with what kind of tools(maybe another special variables) it can be done?
Assuming I'm understanding what you're asking:
You've build the 'create' data in $variable, and are now trying to use RRDs::create to actually do it?
First step is:
print $variable,"\n"; - to see what is actually there. You should be able to use this from the command line, with rrdtool create. (Which needs a filename, timestep, and some valid DS and RRA parameters)
usually, I'll use an array to pass into RRDs::create:
RRDs::create ( "test.rrd", "-s 300",
"DS:name:GAUGE:600:U:U", )
etc.
If $variable contains this information already, then that should be ok. The way to tell what went wrong is:
if ( RRDs::error ) { print RRDs::error,"\n"; }
It's possible that creating the file is the problem, or that your RRD definitions are invalid for some reason. rrdtool create on command line will tell you, as will RRDs::error;

How to define escape character in perl

I want to define a variable /Test123 in perl .I am trying something like this but i am getting error
my $uriReference="Test123";
##Here is where i am trying to create /Test123
my $routingUrl = "\"/".$uriReference."\"";
I think i am doing some mistake here Need help?
You can use qq() instead to emulate double quote interpolation:
my $url = qq("/$uriReference");
Although I do not see anything technically wrong with your assignment, it should assign "/Test123" to your variable. So perhaps the error is about something else. We would know if you had included your error message in your question. There is no reason you should ever not include error messages in questions.
You should also know that you do not need to break up your quotes, you can do this:
my $url = "\"/$uriReference\"";

use '%' in output

Probably a very simple problem and I have been looking for the answer but can not find the it, probably because i have not found out what to ask.
I want the following output, see the '%' character in the output:
(33%)
i just do not understand how to format in the "%" character so it is seen in the output.
txt2 = [txt2 stringByAppendingFormat:#"(%i)", percentage];
I know that the above stringByAppendingFormat is wrong. I would very much appreciate any help.
Escape it with another % so you get something like this:
txt2 = [txt2 stringByAppendingFormat:#"(%i%%)", percentage];
For a list of all format specifiers to use with the formatting functions, see here.
