As promised in today's course, here a corrected version of the
sample "oorexx\samples\ole\apps\MSExcel_cURL.rex":
-- Get information using curl, save results in array cityArr = .array~of("Vienna", "Graz", "Linz", "Salzburg", "Innsbruck", "Klagenfurt", "Bregenz", "Eisenstadt", "Sankt-Poelten", "Wien") cityWeather = .array~new -- array for weather information do counter i name over cityArr command='curl https://wttr.in/'name'?format="%l:+%t"' -- https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in say "#" i":" command -- give user feedback outArr = .array~new -- array for stdout ADDRESS SYSTEM command with output using (outArr) error using (.array~new) cityWeather~append(outArr[1]) -- append output to array end -- Start Excel with empty worksheet excelApplication = .OLEObject~new("Excel.Application") excelApplication~visible = .true -- make Excel visible Worksheet = excelApplication~Workbooks~Add~Worksheets[1] -- add worksheet -- Create bold collum header in first row colhead = .array~of("City", "Celsius") -- array with header text do counter col name over colhead Worksheet~cells(1,col)~Value = name -- insert items from array Worksheet~cells(1,col)~font~bold = .true -- make bold end -- Insert information from gained with curl do counter row name over cityWeather parse var name city ":" temperature "°C" -- parse curled informations Worksheet~cells(row+1,1)~Value = city -- city in collum 1 Worksheet~cells(row+1,2)~Value = temperature -- temperature in collum 2 end -- Select range for chart, use left upper and lower right cell location Worksheet~Range("A1:B" || (row+1))~Select -- include title row -- Add Chart excelApplication~Charts~Add -- create new chart excelApplication~ActiveChart~HasTitle = .True -- add title excelApplication~ActiveChart~ChartTitle~Characters~Text = "Temperature"
Enclosed find the Excel-Spreadsheet that just got created, reflecting the current temperatures.
The corrected example will be in the next drop of ooRexx 5.1.0beta.
