Hi all,
I created a Word template, which contains a marker, that has to be replaced
by some generated text (to be precise: it's a table, where one cell contains
the marker text '__CONTENTS__'). I use easyword.py from "ppw32" to wrap
word, the only substantial change I did was to rename the class to MSWord.
So I added a method replacetText(self, old, new):
def replaceText(self, old, new):
f = self.wordSel.Find
f.ClearFormatting()
f.Text = old
f.Replacement.ClearFormatting()
f.Replacement.Text = new
f.Execute(Replace=2, Forward=-1, Wrap=2)
# ^ ^ ^...wdFindContinue
# | |...True
# |...wdReplaceAll
return
The test driver is:
def test():
import os
from time import sleep
dirName = '%s\\' % os.getcwd()
w = MSWord(dirName + 'ExTract.dot')
w.show()
w.replaceText('__CONTENTS__', 'Blah blah blah')
# sleep(5)
# w.close()
return
When executing this, word starts up, loads the template, and selects
'__CONTENTS__'. Then nothing else happens. Especially, '__CONTENTS__' does
not get replaced with "Blah blah blah".
So I tried to do it from within Word, which works.
So I tried to do it from within MSVB, which works too:
Private Sub cbDoIt_Click()
Dim Word As Word.Application
Set Word = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Word.Visible = True
Word.Documents.Add "D:\\PyFL\\MSOffice\\exTract.dot"
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Text = "__CONTENTS__"
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.Text = "Blah blah blah"
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=2, Forward:=-1, Wrap:=2
End Sub
As I use ActivePython 2.0 on a NT4.0Svr/SP6 I tried 2.1.1.212 on an other
machine (NT4.0Svr/SP6). Does not work either.
Does anybody see, what I forgot to do/call to make it work from within
Python too?
Best regards
Franz GEIGER
