Win32::OLE on MS Word using Selection.Find.Execute
Hi Peter,
This is a translation of a script from technet that works:
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';
#
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/officetips/may05
/tips0512.mspx
my $word = new Win32::OLE 'Word.Application','' or die Cannot start
word!\n;
$word-{visible}=1;
my ( $file, $text ) = @ARGV;
my $doc = $word-Documents-Open( $file );
$selection = $word-Selection;
$selection-Find-{Text} = $text;
$selection-Find-{Forward} = TRUE;
$selection-Find-{MatchWholeWord} = TRUE;
if ( $selection-Find-Execute ) {
print The search text was found\n;
} else {
print The search text was not found\n;
}
Cheers,
Kev.

Subject: Win32::OLE on MS Word using Selection.Find.Execute
To: perl-win32-users@listserv.ActiveState.com
Message-ID: 4c8d3b6c.8010...@his.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Does anyone have an example of a perl script acting on MS Word
documents using Win32::OLE and Selection.Find.Execute? I have read the
Win32 man page but its examples for Excel and Access don't help. I
found a Powershell script that does what I want but can't translate.
The parts I'm confused on are (1) setting the parameters used in the
Selection.Find.Execute() invocation (particularly the boolean values,
since perl doesn't do booleans) and the actual invocation of
Selection.Find.Execute().
I did find an example using $search- Execute() but this doesn't appear
to allow setting all the parameters that Selection.Find.Execute() does.
Also, it operates on $doc- Content-Find while Selection.Find.Execute()
operates on $doc-Selection (if I'm right). And I'm using Homekey(6) to
take me to the top of the document, which is linked to Selection and
doesn't seem to work in my $doc-Content-Find attempts.
Any help or direction to documentation much appreciated.
Thanks - Toolsmith

You cannot freeze() Win32::OLE::Variant objects because they are implemented in C and have additional information hanging on to them that Storable knows nothing about. This could be made to work for most Variant types by adding special Storable freeze/thaw hooks to Win32::OLE::Variant (e.g. it would obviously not work for VT_DISPATCH and VT_OBJECT). I'll file this as an enhancement request for Win32::OLE. For the time being it would probably be easiest to stringify Win32::OLE::Variant objects before freezing them.

Problem returning empty Safearray from OLE Component
Hi all,I hope that somebody can help me witha problem that I am having whilereturning a 1D Safearray to a Perl client from an OLE component, everything is OK when the array has some elements, but if the array is empty I get the following error:Win32::OLE(0.1704) error 0x8002000b: "Invalid index"I am using Active State Perl Version 5.8.8, Build 819. I am testing under windows XP, service pack 2, and I am building my OLE interface with Visual Studio 6,
SP6.I have created a cut-down COM object to test the problem, its interface supports IDispatch and is OLE Automation compatible. In the IDL file the test method is declared as: [id(1), helpstring("method GetArray")] HRESULT GetArray([in] int elementCount, [out, retval] VARIANT* pV);This method returns a SAFEARRAY in a Variant, the elementCount argument indicates how many elements should be placed in the array before it is returned.This
is how GetArray() is defined, it creates a Safearray of type VT_I4: STDMETHODIMP CTestOutArray::GetArray(int elementCount, VARIANT *pV){ V_VT(pV)= VT_ARRAY | VT_I4; SAFEARRAYBOUND saBound; saBound.lLbound = 0; saBound.cElements =
elementCount; SAFEARRAY* pA = SafeArrayCreate(VT_I4, 1, saBound); V_ARRAY(pV) = pA; if (elementCount 0) { long val = 1234; for (long i = 0; i elementCount; i++) SafeArrayPutElement(pA, i, i); } return S_OK;}I have got
rid of any error checking code etc. to make it a bit easier to read...When I call this from Perl with elementCount 0, everything works OK, but when I call it with elementCount == 0 I get the 'Invalid Index' error. Here is the client Perl Code:use strict;use Win32::OLE qw(in with); $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3;my $test =
Win32::OLE-new('PerlOutArrayTest.TestOutArray', 'Quit') or die "Couldn't create object";my $arr = $test-GetArray(1); # Works OK my $second_arr = $test-GetArray(0); # Throws an errorCan anybody spot if I am doing something wrong? Should Perl work OK when an OLE method returns an empty Safearray, or should I just expect it to throw this error when the array is empty?It's all a bit of a pain as I sometimes need to return an empty array as part of normal operation, and I don't want to have to add loads of nasty extra code handle the situation as an
error...Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading!Kevin Godden. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com ___

Re: How the wrappers of C libraries work out?
Hi Robbie- I may just be speaking for myself on this, but what I've done before is put my C functions in an ActiveX control- This control is then registered (via regsvr32) on the particular machine it will be used from. Then use Win32::OLE to bind to the DLL. Unless there is a way to write AciveX controls from Cygnus or some other public-domain C compiler, you'll prolly have to find a copy of MSVC++. I too would be interested if anyone could chime in about ActiveX via Cygnus- but the last place that thread left (about 5 yrs ago) was issues with .tlb (typelib) files. PS to Robbie- If you stick with the Win32::OLE route you're definitely on the right track; In my experience it's really fast.

Re: creating ZIP file that is password protected
Hi Glen, It looks like cpan.org's Archive::Zip doesn't support encryption. Probably because it's more of a function of the WinZip front-end...

Re: RAS
Hi Daniel, Unless I'm missing something, it sounds like you have a transaction model- where each dial-up operation is a transaction. In such a model, you'd prolly like to have a service-date/time and a service completion date-time. If I was tasked with this, I'd start with adding data columns for these two items. The design issue you didn't provide is how long each server transaction lasts. If each server is online for less than a minute, you can swepp thru your server base in less than 12 hours- otherwise, it might take days. Is logging-on guaranteed? You'll prolly want to also store transaction status, time on-line, etc. Then move on to data mining issues, like avg transaction speed, errs encountered, etc. Good luck, KC On 1/21/06, Daniel Rychlik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's been a long while since I've posted to PERL user group, its good to be back.

Greetings perl-win32-users,
This is not a strictly win32 question but relates to files in a win32
system so ...
The context is pretty obscure so I am including the very minimum code
snippet. @files is an array of all the files in the path folder. I
need to check whether the file $newname exists in the path folder. An
odd situation came up with a file named blah blah blah (1940.mid
The author of the file forgot the closing ) which is fine for a
windows file name but grep sees the ( as missing the ) in a regex.
I have tried quoting and preceding the ( or ) with \ to escape it but
none of this works. Any ideas? I could also just check the folder for
the presence of the file name but I have never found documentation on
how to do this. Since this would be more of a win32 question, maybe
that is what I should be asking. How do I check for the existence of a
file in a folder?
my @files = $path/*;
my $file_exists = 1 if (grep/$newname/,@files);
Hi Spencer,
That has an unusual syntax in Perl -- it's borrowed from Unix shell
scripting. You test for the presence of a file with:
if (-f /path/to/file) {
# do stuff here
}
There are other similar functions -- -r checks if the file is readable
by the user running the script, and others.
You can find more details in the perlfunc manual page (perldoc
perlfunc on most systems).
Cheers,
kjw

Re: Find the date of the newest file????
Hi Chuck- On 6/18/05, Charles Maier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a Perl app that catalogs photo files. IS there a quicker way of finding the newest file date in a directory other than doing a stat on each file in it?? How?? TIA Chuck I know it sounds a little weird, but what I do is manipulate large groups of individual files via ZIP archives- In my case, I have hundreds of PDF files generated daily; I zip each directory into a single zip (via a scheduled task), and glob the directory list (which tends to be fast because there's just one zip file in each directory). After targeting the zip file, (which has thousands of individual PDF files) I use use Archive::Zip to extract the file and dump the bytestream to the browser- you might obviously choose a different method, but I'm just throwing it out there as an idea. Obviously, theres a Zip method for getting the file date/time ( lastModFileDateTime()).

You can use a sessionID as the previous poster mentions, but be sure you keep in mind that the SessionID can be manipulated so make sure you build the proper controls in place to handle that. This is a VERY interesting thread- It all depends on your needs, but security is getting more and more of a legal issue so ... Most websites include both... cookies for the session handling and hidden fields for the login handshake. Use an SSL/TLS web page for login/signup. everything else is OK to use in cookies, IF there are no passwords in the clear. That brings up the basic philosophy you should follow; don't leave tracks in your client-level HTML code that a bad person can follow to get into your website no decryption logic or HTML comments like // decode base64 here (I know it sounds dumb, but I admit; mea culpa).

I haven't run across your problem, but I personally would start by
looking at the
$member-isTextFile( )or$member-isBinaryFile()

thrown off and you have to split by looking either for a \n or a

Re: Win32::OLE : Bizarre Push while Examining IE Events
Hi Andrew,
I really don't know what's going on, but I have tried running MSAccess
as an OLE automation server; you too are obviously running IE as an
OLE automation server.
I hate it when people tell me something can't be done, but I really
doubt that you can call events from a COM object via a perl script...
It MAY be possible from a VB program, because (I believe this is how
it works) both are bound at runtime via the VB6RT.DLL... but I may be
wrong... if you findan answer to this, PLEASE POST
I worked on a similar project a few weeks ago- I had to implement a
report server in Perl to run MS Access reports and deliver the
snapshot (*.snp) to the browser- I discovered that I could not run an
OLE method - $access-DoCmd-RunReport() got an error;
You cannot run this method at this time
this time was a code-phrase for
you cannot run this method at ANY time [:-)]
I was able to solve my problem by writing a VB program that bridged
my OLE automation request from the Perl script, and notified the
script via some pretty clunky means that I'm too embarassed to get
into here.

hummingbird hostexplorer ole
Hello,
I hoping if someone could show me how to create an instance of
Hostexplorer through perl or give some suggestions. Hostexplorer is an
emulator for a tn3270 connection (telnet).
The Basic code goes like this:
Sub Main
Dim HostExplorer as Object
Dim MyHost as Object
Set HostExplorer = CreateObject(HostExplorer) ' Initialize
HostExplorer Object
Set MyHost = HostExplorer.HostFromProfile(WFA\_wfa1) ' Set object
for the desired session
MyHost.RunCmd(Pf1)
Exit Sub
This sends an F1 to the application through hummingbird basic.
My code for a running instance, which doesn't work, looks like this:
#! c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -w
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
my $hex = Win32::OLE-GetObject('HostExplorer.Application');
$hex -RunCmd(Pf1); #will update the time in window
Thanks,
Kevin

something I read somewhere, but perhaps that is not possible via
Win32::Console, only at the Windows API level.

Well, the sample code attached is from Win32::GUI's (version 1.0) sample
programs. It shows multiple child windows within a parent window (If
you File/New several times). But really, you likely only need a single
window, with multiple text boxes, for each type of output you want.
Or, since the data you mention talks about lists of things, maybe list
boxes would suffice, or even be preferable.

Note the adjustment that I made to the SELECT statement to query only the

RE: Pipe and redirect STDOUT
Guys, My understanding is that there is a bug in the file extension/application to execute code, that is part of windows, that stops redirection from working if Microsoft does this lookup itself. Stopping it having to do this lookup, by invoking Perl.exe directly, gets around this issue. This problem has been around for as long as I can remember.

RE: Perl-Win32-Users digest, Vol 1 #1729 - 17 msgs
Bill,
Just out of interest I tried a variation on your script with 3 buttons to
open up the html file. One button used System, one used the windows
shell (via OLE) and one used OLE to control IE directly.
On my machine (w2k), Shell takes the longest, system is slightly quicker,
and OLE is pretty much instantaneous. Doesn't answer your question but
gives an alternative but only if you use IE.
Code is below (cut and pasted your code so I'm using your original style).
use strict ;
use Tk ;
use Win32::OLE;
my $file = 'c:\\temp\\contents list.html';
system ( $file ) ;
my $mw = MainWindow
- new ( -title = 'Test Window' ) ;
my $b = $mw
- Button
( -text = Shell
, -borderwidth = '1'
, -padx = '4'
, -relief = 'raised'

Hi All
This analysis of my programming style is this first I have heard. My
style was developed as a result of teaching structured programming. I found
students learned the concepts of Objects and Relationships by placing these
on separate lines with indenting to show what was contained in what. By
lining the commas up with the parenthesis on the left it was more obvious
what the structure was. It was easier for the Student to identify what I was
discussing and to add their own comments to each line. It was just my way of
doing things. I don't criticize anyone else for their way of doing things.
To each his own. But I do find it more difficult to understand a Script that
has everything written on one line. When I write code, Every Line is
Documented to give the next person a better chance to understand what I have
done. I find that very lacking in much of what I see today.
But the style of my coding wasn't the object of my question. I just
find it hard to believe that it was such an issue and my original question
wasn't given much thought.
Sorry to those I may have offended.

Fork/wait generating GPF at 0x0000000c in Perl.exe

I am running ActiveState Perl v5.8.0 straight out of the box, with the following test
piece of code for forking and waiting for child processes. Perl.exe generates a GPF at

I based the code on the code extract within the fork documentation in the Camel book.
The output up until just before the GPF is as follows:
Parent. Child is -108
Child: started: -108
Parent waiting for kiddies...
Child: -108 about to exit.
Sorry if this topic has already been done to death, but I had a search and couldn't
find anything that appeared relevant.

I must have missed the first posting/response, but it
looks like you are using use strict; but not declaring
your $key variable in the right scope.
If you want to use $key as a global you need to declare
it outside of a subroutine using my $key;
If you are trying to pass arguments to your subroutine
you need to declare and pop your stack.

User Full Name from Active Directory
Hi All, I have a perl/cgi script that grabs user account attributes from the domain pdc and generates listboxes sorted by username, user full name, etc. Since we have migrated to a new w2k active directory, it appears that the USER_FULL_NAME attribute in Win32::AdminMisc::UserGetMiscAttributes is not grabbing the separated First Name and Last Name fields for a newly generated user. Domain accounts that were migrated to the new domain from NT4 still retain a value however. Since I happen to have no permissions to generate new users in the active directory, I guess my question is: what function do I use to grab the first name, middle initial, and last name fields from the active directory, or is there a 'full name' field in the active directory that just isn't being set by those creating the accounts? Thanks in advance :)

Re: Net::Telnet on Win2K
John, The problem is outlined in the Net:Telnet documentation. The loads of gibberish is ANSI terminal escape characters. I haven't worked with that exact telnet application, but some allow you to turn ANSI off and on http://search.cpan.org/author/JROGERS/Net-Telnet-3.03/lib/Net/Telnet.pm Connecting to a Remote MS-Windows Machine By default MS-Windows doesn't come with a TELNET server. However third party TELNET servers are available. Unfortunately many of these servers falsely claim to be a TELNET server. This is especially true of the so-called Microsoft Telnet Server that comes installed with some newer versions MS-Windows. When a TELNET server first accepts a connection, it must use the ASCII control characters carriage-return and line-feed to start a new line (see RFC854). A server like the Microsoft Telnet Server that doesn't do this, isn't a TELNET server. These servers send ANSI terminal escape sequences to position to a column on a subsequent line and to even position while writing characters that are adjacent to each other. Worse, when sending output these servers resend previously sent command output in a misguided attempt to display an entire terminal screen. Connecting Net::Telnet to one of these false TELNET servers makes your job of parsing command output very difficult. It's better to replace a false TELNET server with a real TELNET server. The better TELNET servers for MS-Windows allow you to avoid the ANSI escapes by turning off something some of them call console mode.

For every machine that responds to a ping, I use IO::Socket to open a tcp connection to port 139. Once that's done, I have a list of all machines on the local network that respond on port 139, which (I believe) corresponds pretty closely to the list of all Windows machines with our standard build. Unfortunately, this is way too slow for my purposes. Non-windows machines (that don't have SMB turned on) will not respond on port 139, and the socket connect attempt eventually times out. It's that 'eventually' bit that makes the whole script run horribly slowly. I'm scanning all machines in the 10.5.x.x range (my local network) and this takes about five hours to complete. As I'm running the script on Win32, the IO::Socket timeout option isn't enabled, and I can't use alarm() to interrupt the attempt earlier. From what little I understand of networking, I think I should be able to broadcast a UDP packet to port 139 (or 138? not sure) on the network, then set up a listener to field the replies as they come in. However, that's all I know so far and I'm somewhat wary of experimenting with broadcasts on a live network... and no, I don't have a test network :-( Is there anyone out there who's done this or similar before and can point me in the right direction? How do I craft that UDP packet? What port should I be listening on for replies? What should I be listening for? Is there a simpler way (preferably native perl, not shelling out to other tools) to retrieve a list of Windows boxes? NB I've tried using nmap's ping scanning and OS fingerprinting but that seems even slower... ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
RE: Win32::AdminMisc -- Any risks??
Put down the keyboard and step away from the computer and I'm sure you'll be safe :-) You have nothing to worry about as a consequence of the module in and of itself. There is no particular reason that AdminMisc would blow anything up any more than any other arbitrary application or module that you run on a daily basis (less in fact because we all know and trust it, unlike some things you need to run). You're ARE at risk blowing something up via code that you generate that USES the module. If something gets killed, it will be because you pulled the trigger. We bequeath to you now the sword of the system administrator. We ask that you use it wisely. And for gosh sake, hold it by the handle, not the sharp end, would ya?

Authenticated user retrieval when running under IIS Anonymous user
I have a boggle. IIS 5/Perl cgi script I have: - Created a virtual directory which points back to the IIS server via UNC (this triggers the running process to allow network operations off the server as a side effect) - NTFS Secured the directory to a select list of users - Enabled anonymous access on the directory and set it to be an administrative user as the anonymous account (a calculated risk) This lets me perform administrative tasks against remote machines from the cgi without doing impersonation which would require me to store the password in some form in a local file. My question is this: When I issue a Win32::AdminMisc::GetLogonName, or Win32::LoginName it reports the anonymous user. I would like to figure out if there is a way to ferret out the username of the person running the script (ie, the one who was able to gain access via NTFS permissions). If anyone has any alternate suggestions for running privileged tasks which wouldnt require me storing a password and manually impersonating, Im open to education.

RE: Win32::AdminMisc problems
I'd check permissions on the directory. Likely you're not running the
program as the same id interactively and through the webserver. Use
www.sysinternals.com filemon to monitor inetsrv.exe to see if you're
getting permission denied.

Subject: Win32::Job/Process
- maintaining constant number of sub-processes
Hi all,
I'd really
appreciate any help with a problem I am having.
I am trying to
achieve the following basic logic in Perl on W2k Server...
When it starts,
my script spawns a pre-defined number (10) of identical sub-processes
It then
continuously loops back every few seconds to check if any have completed
If a processes
has completed, it spawns another instance to replace it
And so on
I have tried using
Win32::Process and that works well, but when the script terminates the
sub-processes continue to run (detatched).
Reading the
documentation it seems to me that Win32:Job is more suitable my rough attempt
at coding (below) is even worse that the version using Win32::Process - it does
what is described above using the watch method to keep an eye on
the spawned processes and starting new ones as required.
But the problem is,
when the last of the 10 originally spawned processes exits, the entire script
exits and all the sub-processes die with it rather than continuing to spawning
new processes until I decide for some arbitrary reason to exit and kill the
entire process tree.
Has anybody got any
pointers as to how I can add new processes to a Win32::Job structure and have
them included in the watch method?
Thanks.
Barry Caruth.

Fw: Hash of Hashes
Kevin wrote:
Hello,
I am having a bit of a problem working with nested data structures and
after
spending some time with the perl man pages, I am turning to the list for
help.
I am reading a DBI record into a hash reference - my $row =
$sth-fetchrow_hashref() - I would like to create a hash to hold all of
the
returned rows (or thus, hashes) with the ID being the key, so for
example
$returned_rows{$row-{'ID'}} = $row
Essentially I would have a hash of hashes, holding the result set of the
query.
My question is, how can I refer to the elements of a particular row? I
have
attempted:
$returned_rows{11}{First_Name} and it returns no results (First_Name
being a
column).
The easiest way to figure these things out is to dump the hash with
Data::Dumper.
use Data::Dumper; $Data::Dumper::Indent=1;
print Data::Dumper-Dump([$row, $returned_rows], [qw($row
$returned_rows)]);
That should give you the insight to figure it out. If not, post the
results for more help.
Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I have included the result set and some more of the
code. Your help is appreciated.
my $dbh = DBI-connect(DBI:XBase:C:/Perl/progs/customer) or die
$DBI::errstr;
my $sth = $dbh-prepare(select ID, First_Name from customer) or die
$dbh-errstr();
$sth-execute() or die $sth-errstr();
while (my $row = $sth-fetchrow_hashref()) {
$returned_rows{$row-{'ID'}} = $row;
print Data::Dumper-Dump([$row, $returned_rows], [qw($row
$returned_rows)]);
}
result:
$row = {
'ID'= '11',
'First_Name'= 'Tom'
};
$returned_rows = undef;
When I attempt to put the Data::Dumper code outside of the while loop, I get
the following:
$row = undef;
$returned_rows = undef;
Thanks again.

RE: mkdir
Christopher,
You need to encase the parms in (). The following statements are
equivalent due to the default mask that is applied.
mkdir ("dirname");
mkdir ("dirname", "0777");

Subject: mkdir
Hello all,
I got a compaint from mkdir that I didn't have sufficient
arguments, when I thought that just the dirname should do.
i.e. either
mkdir "dirname";
or
mkdir "dirname", "0777";
Here is the error:
Not enough arguments for mkdir at scbuildprep.pl line 401, near
""updates";
Here is the command:
mkdir "updates";
Wassup?
Christopher

RE: Date math
True enough...it is a very large module. I use it in several scripts that run on a fairly slow mail server but haven't seen any serious problems with speed. I make the (perhaps naive) assumption that coders will read the documentation that comes with modules and would, therefore, discover the author's warning about size and speed. My recommendation comes from the surprisingly good results I am able to achieve with this package. The original post was fairly sparse and not knowing the writer's requirements, I recommended the most full-featured module that I have experience with.

It will do date math as well as lots of other cool stuff. I haven't used Date::Manip; I use Date::Calc, and it has done what I needed to do. However I want to note a few things about Date::Manip. In the documentation, the author talks about it being the biggest and slowest date module, and perhaps the largest module in CPAN. The docs start out like this: "If you look in CPAN, you'll find that there are a number of Date and Time packages. Is Date::Manip the one you should be using? In my opinion, the answer is no about 90% of the time." Date::Manip is an everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach, and while it is perhaps useful, there should be caveats attached with a recommendation of it. If you are writing CGI with more than a handful of users or are otherwise concerned about speed and/or size, look elsewhere. -- Mark Thomas[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Internet Architect User Technology Associates, Inc. $_=q;KvtuyboopuifeyQQfeemyibdlfee;; y.e.s. ;y+B-x+A-w+s; ;y;y; ;;print;; ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
