[wtr-general] Opening an Excel file with a variable name

2008-12-16 Thread jas . shelton

All,

I am attempting to open an Excel file with Ruby, and have run into a
problem.  If I open the file with single quotes, like  inputFile =
input.Workbooks.Open('C:\Folder\sheet.xls') everything works fine.  My
problem now is that the location of the .xls file has a variable name,
like inputFile = input.Workbooks.Open(C:\#{var)\sheet.xls).  When I
try this, I get an error saying that the file cannot be found.  It
seems that the 'open' method will only work with single quotes, but to
signify a variable in a string in Ruby you have to use double quotes.
Has anyone discovered a way around this?  Thanks in advance for any
help.

[wtr-general] Accessing an application's registry keys with Ruby

2008-12-12 Thread jas . shelton

All,

Has anyone discovered a way of accessing an application's registry
keys with Ruby?  I am attempting to access the registry key of the
application under test at runtime of my automated script, so that I
can get the build number of the app from the registry.  Thanks in
advance for any help.

[wtr-general] Excel Ranges and Ruby

2008-12-01 Thread jas . shelton

All,

I am trying to enter the contents of an array into an excel range.
Here is a sample of what I am doing now:

array = (0,1,2)

excel.Range(A1::A3) = array

When I do this cells a1, a2, and a3 are all set to 0, and not 0,1,2 as
I am expecting.  Can someone please assist me with this?  I can
elaborate if necessary.  Thanks in advance.

[wtr-general] Directory Comparison

2008-10-27 Thread jas . shelton

All,

I am attempting to compare two file directories, both containing .xml
files.  If a filename is present in both directories, I want to
compare the two files, looking for any differences.  If a filename is
only present in one of the directories, I want to send the filename to
a file that contains a list of the files only found in one of the
directories.  Does anyone know of a good way of comparing the contents
of a directory with Ruby?  Thank you in advance for your help.

[wtr-general] Ruby While Loop

2008-10-23 Thread jas . shelton

All,

I currently have a while loop that iterates as long as the cell it is
checking an Excel is not nil. I want to add a if statement in this
while loop that, if the 'if' condition is met, will add 1 to the loop
iterator, and restart the while loop, without executing the rest of
the code in the while loop.  Here is my code below:

while(input.Range(b#{x})['Value'] != nil)

if(input.Range(a#{x})['Value'] == 'no')
x +=1
end

Can someone please tell how to increment x and restart the while loop,
without executing the rest of the code in the while first?  I can
elaborate if this is not clear.  Thanks in advance for all of your
assistance.
