Step 4: Run VBS code that reads XLS file
Execute the following VBS code that imports an XLS file.
'============================================================================
' Tutorial 37
'
' This tutorial shows how to read an Excel XLS file in VBScript
' (the XLS file generated by Tutorial 28 as base template), modify
' some data and save it to another XLS file (Tutorial37 - read XLS file.xls).
'============================================================================
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine("Tutorial 37" & vbcrlf & "-----------" & vbcrlf)
' Create an instance of the class that reads Excel filesSet workbook = CreateObject("EasyXLS.ExcelDocument")
' Read XLS file
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine("Reading file: C:\Samples\Tutorial28.xls" & vbcrlf)
If (workbook.easy_LoadXLSFile("C:\Samples\Tutorial28.xls")) Then' Get the table of data for the second worksheetSet xlsSecondTable = workbook.easy_getSheet("Second tab").easy_getExcelTable()
' Write some data to the second sheet
xlsSecondTable.easy_getCell_2("A1").setValue("Data added by Tutorial37")
For column=0 To 4
xlsSecondTable.easy_getCell(1, column).setValue("Data " & (column + 1))
Next' Export the new XLS file
Wscript.StdOut.WriteLine(vbcrlf & "Writing file: C:\Samples\Tutorial37 - read XLS file.xls")
workbook.easy_WriteXLSFile ("C:\Samples\Tutorial37 - read XLS file.xls")
' Confirm export of Excel fileDim sError
sError = workbook.easy_getError()
If sError = ""Then
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(vbcrlf & "File successfully created.")
Else
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(vbcrlf & "Error: " & sError)
End If
Else
Wscript.StdOut.WriteLine("Error reading file C:\Samples\Tutorial28.xls" & vbcrlf & _
workbook.easy_getError())
End If' Dispose memory
workbook.Dispose
Wscript.StdOut.Write(vbcrlf & "Press Enter to exit ...")
Wscript.StdIn.ReadLine()
How to run VBScript tutorial In order to run the tutorial create a file named Tutorial37.vbs containing previous code, open Command Prompt, change the directory to tutorial location using cd command and type: > cscript Tutorial37.vbs.
Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
