  Hi BEGINNER_X,

  First of all, you must convert the excel file to the format of files "*.csv or delimited by tabs. (I use commas .csv file).

  You posted in above code JS reading only the names of paragraph style. Then another code is read only comma-delimited text file, but you are not comparing the paragraph style in the list of excel files. You missed here.

  Please try the JS code below his works very well, but not generated the report file. I hope that you will generate the report of your side file.

  var myFile = File.openDialog("Choose a tab delimitted txt file:");
  if (!myFile){
  exit();
  }     
  
  var myArray = []
  myFile.open('r');
  while (myFile.eof==false){
      var line=myFile.readln().split(",");
      myArray.push(line[0]);
      }
  
  var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
  var myPstyles = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles;
  
  Array.prototype.contains = function(obj) {
      var i = this.length;
      while (i--) {
          if (this[i] === obj) {
              return true;
          }
      }
      return false;
  }

  myTextFrame is not defined in your script.

  It works for me:

  myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
  var myExcelFile = new File ("~/Documents/idml/some file.xlsx");
  myTextFrame.place (myExcelFile);
  

  -When I select a text block, of course.

  To debug this, you can remove the try... catch statements because they're actually hiding the error now: InDesign can place the file, but the variable does not exist.

  Thankfully, I fell it many times before.

• labView send data wireless node for the excel file

  Hi all

  I used the basic tutorial for the network of wireless sensors OR. http://www.ni.com/tutorial/8890/en/. I finished it with a single node. The next phase of my project is to send the data from the node and the date and time in an excel file every hour. Is there any advice I can get to at least send the date and the data in the excel file? I'm using labView in 2012

  I change, because I put the text instead of excel file

  You cannot connect a scalar to the entry level that is needed. A solution would be to insert a table to build before the writing on the worksheet.

• Entries are concatenated in the same column in the excel file

  Hi, I really need help in this emergency. The problem is when I open the spreadsheet file after you run the program below, all the values that I believe are concatenated in the same column. However, there are 2 different analog inputs which I want in 2 different columns. I'm getting the 2 waveforms in the same graph, but when I open the excel file, it seems that the entries are concatenated in the same column. Someone knows how to fix this? Thank you very much.

  

  Hi Ben 64,.

  Thanks a lot again. I did as you said and I removed the dynamic data and logged files added directly to the results. I'm still checking if the program works as I can branch only when I return to work tomorrow. Tell me if you think it might be able to work this time. Thanks a lot again!

• How to extract information from the ovf file from a file of eggs by programming?

  How to extract information from the ovf file from a file of eggs by programming?

  Hello

  Please provide details:

  -On what OS you are programming (Linux, Windows,...)?

  -What programming or scripting language do you use?

  An EGG file is just a tarball of hard, .ovf and .mf files. The .ovf file is always the first. For example, on a Unix like operating system, this should be easy.

  For Windows, there are several options available to manage programmatically the tarballs. See for example http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/470999/tarlib-Windows-TAR-Library.

  And the ovf itself file is in XML format. For handling XML files are libraries available for literally every OS and programming language.
