Please bear with me - I am just getting started with UI Vision. Remember we all had training wheels on our bikes when we started learning to ride a bike.
I am very impressed with the software. It looks like it will solve my problem.
I am plan on using UI Vision to query a website and get pricing details. There are a total of 80 cvs files. Each file is 100 part numbers. I have found that this is a workable qty for the website to process at one time. Through my software I paste each csv file into the clipboard and the clipboard get pasted to the website using the macro. I will then parse the website and get the returned values.
I have a couple of questions…
-
I have an existing software program written in VB6 (Yes it is older but it allows rapid changes - we deal with several warehouses and this allows us to download and process pricing files easily. What is the recommended way to shell to a macro. Since I need to do this upto 80 times. My thought is …
Open the webpage
Loop through the csv files
Close the webpage. -
After I paste the csv file It returns values. Is there a recommended way to determine the number of rows that are in the table. My solution is create a variable and use a csv file to load the value when the macro starts. That would set the number of rows I need to look for. For example there may be only 40 items in file.
-
On the table - There is an id of Part0001. That contains a value to be returned. The the numeric portion must always be 4 digits. Is there a way to create a loop and format accordingly. Currently my solution involves a if then statement with each block representing 1 table line. This would involve over 300 lines in the macro.
Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.
