I'm trying to increment file names if a previously numbered one exists.
For example, it should check if "Example.csv" exists. If so, the new file should be called "Example2.csv", then "Example3.csv", "Example4.csv" and so on. Here's my code so far:
$fileNum = 2
; The $month variable is defined earler in the script but I'll define another var for this example
$month = "January"
If FileExists("Emissions Log - " & $month & ".csv") Then
If FileExists("Emissions Log - " & $month & $fileNum & ".csv") Then
$fileNum += 1
$file = FileOpen("Emissions Log - " & $month & $fileNum & ".csv", 1)
Else
$file = FileOpen("Emissions Log - " & $month & $fileNum & ".csv", 1)
EndIf
Else
$file = FileOpen("Emissions Log - " & $month & ".csv", 1)
EndIf
In order to do that, you must loop the filenames.
$month = "January"
For $i = 0 To 1000 ;max file versions is set to 1000
If $i = 0 Then
$num = ''
Else
$num = $i
EndIf
If Not FileExists("Emissions Log - " & $month & $num & ".csv") then
$file = FileOpen("Emissions Log - " & $month & $num & ".csv", 1)
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next
I'm trying to increment file names if a previously numbered one exists.
While FileExists() StringReplace(). Example:
Func _FilenameUnique(Const $sFilenameRequested, Const $sDelimiter = '-', Const $iCountStart = 2)
Local $iError = 0, _
$iCount = $iCountStart - 1
Local $sFilenameUnique = $sFilenameRequested
While FileExists($sFilenameUnique) And Not $iError
$iCount += 1
$sFilenameUnique = StringReplace($sFilenameRequested, '.', $sDelimiter & $iCount & '.', -1)
$iError = #error
WEnd
Return SetError($iError, $iCount, $sFilenameUnique)
EndFunc
$sFilename = _FilenameUnique('C:\path\file.csv', '') functions as requested. Include current time alternatively:
$sFilename = 'C:\path\file_' & #YEAR & #MON & #YDAY & #HOUR & #MIN & #SEC & '.csv'

wscript no longer uses run? and other gets a com reference issue,
the code is for editing current session for downloading the csv file.
every to this point works as it should.

any idea how to make this work in vb.net, worked fine in vb6 and even on excel vba.
Trim (in VBA for MS-Access 2010) does not remove vbCrLfs, only spaces. In the immediate window, I get
? Len(vbCrLf & "a" & vbCrLf & "b" & vbCrLf)
8
? Len(Trim(vbCrLf & "a" & vbCrLf & "b" & vbCrLf))
8
For spaces however:
? Len(" " & "a" & " " & "b" & " ")
5
? Len(Trim(" " & "a" & " " & "b" & " "))
3
How to make a trim that removes vbCrLFs on the ends only?
If you don't mind removing ALL new lines (and not just edges) you could just do:
myStr = Application.clean(Application.trim(myStr))
For imitating Trim function, you'd need to test each character in your string's edges:
Function TrimNewLines(mtStr As String) As String
Dim pattern As String, c As String
Dim i As Integer: i = 1
pattern = "[" & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "]"
c = Mid(mtStr, i, 1)
Do While c Like pattern
i = i + 1
c = Mid(mtStr, i, 1)
Loop
mtStr = Mid(mtStr, i, Len(mtStr))
i = Len(mtStr)
c = Mid(mtStr, i, 1)
Do While c Like pattern
i = i - 1
c = Mid(mtStr, i, 1)
Loop
mtStr = Mid(mtStr, 1, i)
TrimNewLines = mtStr
End Function
This seems to have done the trick:
Public Function trimNewlinesAndSpaces(chaine As String) As String
chaine = Trim(chaine)
Do While (left(chaine, 2) = vbCrLf) Or right(chaine, 2) = vbCrLf
If left(chaine, 2) = vbCrLf Then
chaine = right(chaine, Len(chaine) - 2)
End Ifj
If right(chaine, 2) = vbCrLf Then
chaine = left(chaine, Len(chaine) - 2)
End If
chaine = Trim(chaine)
Loop
trimNewlinesAndSpaces = chaine
End Function

A common usage of VBA at my company is generation of source code based on information entered in Excel tables. Given VBA's native string manipulation, the code that does this is tedious to write and not very readable.
A simple example (these get more complex) is:
Print #fileIdentifier, SSpace(9) & "update_" & print_string & "[" & CStr(j) & "] <= 1'b0;"
Print #fileIdentifier, SSpace(9) & print_string & "_ack_meta" & "[" & CStr(j) & "] <= 1'b0;"
Print #fileIdentifier, SSpace(9) & print_string & "_ack_sync" & "[" & CStr(j) & "] <= 1'b0;"
I am looking for a solution in VBA that would allow me to specify this using a "text template", so define a text that would look something like this
update_#name#[#bit#] <= 1'b0;
#name#_ack_meta[#bit#] <= 1'b0;
#name#_ack_sync[#bit#] <= 1'b0;
and have a function/method call, passing the values of #name# and #bit#, replace all instances of #name# and #bit# with corresponding values.
Basic insertion function:
Function insert(template As String, ParamArray inserts() As Variant) As String
Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To UBound(inserts)
template = Replace$(template, "%" & i + 1 & "%", inserts(i))
Next
'// some special cases perhaps
template = Replace$(template, "%SSPACE%", SSpace(9))
template = Replace$(template, "\r\n", VbCrLf)
insert = template
End Function
For
?insert("Foo %1% Bar %2% Qux %3% (%1%)", "A", "B", "C")
Foo A Bar B Qux C (A)
Map (add a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime):
Dim col As New Scripting.Dictionary
col("name") = "bob"
col("age") = 35
MsgBox insert2("Hello %name% you are %age%", col)
...
Function insert2(template As String, map As Scripting.Dictionary) As String
Dim name
For Each name In map.Keys()
template = Replace$(template, "%" & name & "%", map(name))
Next
insert2 = template
End Function
Alex K., thank you for the solution.
Here is how I expanded it (please feel free to let me know if there is a better way of doing this)
Function FillTemplateGeneric(template As Variant, map As Scripting.Dictionary) As String
Dim name
Dim out_text As String
' Handle multiple ways of receiving the template string
If VarType(template) = vbString Then
out_text = template
ElseIf VarType(template) = vbArray Then
out_text = Join(template, vbCrLf)
ElseIf TypeName(template) = "String()" Then
out_text = Join(template, vbCrLf)
ElseIf TypeName(template) = "Variant()" And TypeName(template(LBound(template, 1))) = "String" Then
out_text = Join(template, vbCrLf)
Else
MsgBox "Unknown Var Type passed to FillTemplateGeneric as first argument:" & vbCrLf & TypeName(template)
Err.Raise vbObjectError + 513, "FillTemplateGeneric", "Unknown Var Type passed to FillTemplateGeneric as first argument:" & vbCrLf & TypeName(template)
End If
For Each name In map.Keys()
out_text = Replace$(out_text, "%" & name & "%", map(name))
Next
FillTemplateGeneric = out_text
End Function
This allows for it to accept calls in multiple formats:
' Common dictionary for expansion
Dim col As New Scripting.Dictionary
col("name") = print_string
' Using inline text for template
MsgBox FillTemplateGeneric("test text with %name% name - just string", col)
' Using a multi-line string
Dim template As String
templ_text = " update_%name% <= 1'b0; // 1 - manual multi-line string" & _
vbCrLf & " %name%_ack_meta <= 1'b0; // " & _
vbCrLf & " %name%_ack_sync <= 1'b0; // "
MsgBox FillTemplateGeneric(templ_text, col)
' Using an array of strings
Dim ttext(1 To 3) As String
ttext(1) = " update_%name% <= 1'b0; // 2 - manual array of strings"
ttext(2) = " %name%_ack_meta <= 1'b0; // "
ttext(3) = " %name%_ack_sync <= 1'b0; // "
MsgBox FillTemplateGeneric(ttext, col)
' Using an inline array of strings
MsgBox FillTemplateGeneric(Array( _
" update_%name% <= 1'b0; // 3 - immediate array of strings", _
" %name%_ack_meta <= 1'b0; // ", _
" %name%_ack_sync <= 1'b0; // " _
