Hello All

 

I wanted to generate a HTML table report from data given in text file (a.txt). This i am doing by :

1. Reading data from "a.txt"

1. Writing HTML code from "FileWriteLine" command into "xxx.txt" (taking a.txt data as reference i will be building html code.

2. Renaming the "xxx.txt" to "xxx.html" using "FileCopy" command.

 

Problem is HTML code contains many special characters which cannot be used in autoit like    ;    and  " Can you please let me know how to send these characters in file write line command ?

 

the desired output i.e "xxx.txt" is attached. Please help me!

THANKS

Use HTML encoding as described here.

Means: Instead of ";" write "&#59;" to your file.

Well, not 100% sure if this id what you want, but it's for the concept  :)
[be careful when mixing single and double quotes]

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $aArray, $n = 0

$sFilePath = @scriptdir & "\Results.txt"
$sFileResult = @scriptdir & "\Results.html"

_FileReadToArray($sFilePath, $aArray, $FRTA_NOCOUNT, @TAB)
;_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

Local $html = "<html><head><meta content='text/html charset=ISO-8859-1'http-equiv='content-type'><title>AUTO-LOGGER Result History</title></head><img src=C:\Autologger\arh.png></big></td></tr></tbody></table><br style='font-family: Calibri'><big style='font-family: Calibri font-weight: bold'> </big>"
$html &= '<br style="font-family: Calibri;"><table style="text-align: left; font-family: Calibri; width: 1285px; height: 40px;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 52px;">Order</td><td style="background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 550px; text-align: center;">    Test Case</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 97px;">Result</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 52px;">Seq-ID</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 400px;">Binary</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 400px;">Location</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 97px;">Setup</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 52px;">Hour</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 52px;">Day</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 52px;">Month</td><td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-weight: bold; width: 52px;">Year</td></tr>'

For $i = 1 to UBound($aArray)-1
    $n += 1
    $html &= '<tr>'
    $html &= '<td style="text-align: center;">' & $n & '</td>'
    For $j = 0 to UBound($aArray, 2)-1
       $html &= '<td style="text-align: center;">' & $aArray[$i][$j] & '</td>'
    Next
    $html &= '</tr>'
Next
$html &= '</tbody></table><br style="font-family: Arial;"></body></html>'

Filewrite($sFileResult, $html)
ShellExecute($sFileResult)

@SatyaGanesh in the future, please enclose your code in a block (<> symbol on the toolbar) to make it easier to read. I have done so for you in the post above ;)

To export it to Excel please use the Excel UDF that comes with AutoIt. You can then export it from Excel to PDF using function _Excel_Export.
