Macro to export text from a text box to External Script in Qlikview

[sahilkain]

Hi All,

I am looking for a Macro which can extract some keyword from a text/table box/straight table and send it to a predefined string as a BAT file. It would be highly appreciated if anyone can help me here.

Regards,

Sahil

If it's not depending on any user interactions it might be easier to create it within the script, maybe with something similar to this: Re: Is it possible to create a batch file in the Qlikview Script.

If this isn't possible a table-chart or a listbox would be easier to handle for it because they could exported as a text-file (a textbox only to excel). And there should just the needed output be contained so that it's not necessary to extract anything on the macro-side (the Qlik string-functions are quite powerful). And then you could use something like this:

set obj = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH01")

obj.ExportEx "C:\test.txt", 1

If you really want to use a textbox than you need to write these data, maybe with something like this: Re: Export to CSV with quotation marks (it's for table but by a textbox it's quite the same).

As far as you go with any macro-approach the APIGuide.qvw (within your install folders by automation) will be very useful for you.
