hi Bernard, thank you for your reply. I created a javascript library named "JSLib1" and in it a macro named "StringContains", and I placed in it your example JS code.
then in OpenOffice Basic Macros I have the module "Module1". you can see the code at https://gist.github.com/TwentyOneSolutions/38f38c1ebf99a85b6da5 when I enter into a cell =getScriptVersion() I see the expected value of 1.04 when I enter into a cell =contains("abc", "b") I get Err:508 which according to https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Calc_Error_Codes means that a parenthesis is not closed properly. trying to call the macro TestJsCall shows the following error: Macro Library JSLib1 not found, which seems to be different from Err:508. what am I missing? thanks again, Igal Sapir Lucee Core Developer Lucee.org <http://lucee.org/> On 3/13/2015 6:09 AM, Bernard Marcelly wrote: > Hi, > > If you intend to use a JavaScript function in a cell formula, forget > about it. > First, you cannot directly call a JavaScript function from a cell > formula.
