Step 4: Run VBS code that reads XLSB file
Execute the following VBS code that imports an XLSB file.
'===============================================================================
' Tutorial 38
'
' This tutorial shows how to read an Excel XLSB file in VBScript
' (the XLSB file generated by Tutorial 29 as base template), modify
' some data and save it to another XLSB file (Tutorial38 - read XLSB file.xlsb).
'===============================================================================
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine("Tutorial 38" & vbcrlf & "-----------" & vbcrlf)
' Create an instance of the class that reads Excel filesSet workbook = CreateObject("EasyXLS.ExcelDocument")
' Read XLSB file
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine("Reading file: C:\Samples\Tutorial29.xlsb" & vbcrlf)
If (workbook.easy_LoadXLSBFile("C:\Samples\Tutorial29.xlsb")) 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 Tutorial38")
For column=0 To 4
xlsSecondTable.easy_getCell(1, column).setValue("Data " & (column + 1))
Next' Export the new XLSB file
Wscript.StdOut.WriteLine(vbcrlf & "Writing file: C:\Samples\Tutorial38 - read XLSB file.xlsb")
workbook.easy_WriteXLSBFile ("C:\Samples\Tutorial38 - read XLSB file.xlsb")
' 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\Tutorial29.xlsb" & 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 Tutorial38.vbs containing previous code, open Command Prompt, change the directory to tutorial location using cd command and type: > cscript Tutorial38.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.
