( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Here's what I use to (semi-)intelligently export all worksheets in a workbook to CSV files. In VBA:

Sub BulkCSVExport() ' Export all worksheets to .CSV files. ' Surround text (not numbers!) with double quotes. ' Handle text that contains double quotes, as in: 18" X 11" X 11 +" Dim DestFile As String Dim FileNum As Integer Dim ColumnCount As Integer Dim RowCount As Integer Dim st As Integer Dim strTemp As String Dim wbk As Workbook Dim sht As Worksheet Dim intSheetCount As Integer Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set wbk = Application.ActiveWorkbook For intSheetCount = 1 To wbk.Sheets.Count Set sht = wbk.Sheets.Item(intSheetCount) sht.Activate DestFile = wbk.Name & "." & sht.Name & ".CSV" FileNum = FreeFile() On Error Resume Next Open DestFile For Output As #FileNum If Err <> 0 Then MsgBox "Cannot open filename " & DestFile End End If On Error GoTo 0 ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select For RowCount = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count For ColumnCount = 1 To Selection.Columns.Count If IsNumeric(Selection.Cells(RowCount, ColumnCount +)) Then Print #FileNum, Selection.Cells(RowCount, _ ColumnCount).Value; Else ' strTemp = Selection.Cells(RowCount, ColumnCoun +t).Text ' Fix double quotes, lest they confuse the .CS +V format If InStr(strTemp, CStr(Chr$(34))) <> 0 Then st% = 1 While st% <= Len(strTemp) And InStr(st%, st +rTemp, CStr(Chr$(34))) > 0 st% = InStr(st%, strTemp, CStr(Chr$(34)) +) strTemp = Left$(strTemp, st%) & CStr(Chr +$(34)) & Mid$(strTemp, st% + 1) st% = st% + 2 Wend End If ' Print #FileNum, CStr(Chr$(34)) & strTemp & CSt +r(Chr$(34)); End If If ColumnCount = Selection.Columns.Count Then Print #FileNum, Else Print #FileNum, ","; End If Next ColumnCount Next RowCount Close #FileNum Next Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub

Modifications, calling from Perl, and diffing the output are all left as exercises for the reader.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
