Grid Help Needed

[Jerryab]

Is there a way to save the GRID without saving the top row (0).

Trying to save a grid but don't want the top row saved.

Using the:
bSave = Grid.SaveToFile("Grid1", "AutoPlay\\Docs\\Text.cvs", ",");
does not give any control on what is saved.

Any Suggestions ?

Thanks..

loop through the grid items, save each row as a line of text

something like this should work (UNTESTED CODE)

function SaveGridRowsToFile(sGrid, sFile)

	local nRowCount = Grid.GetRowCount(sGrid);
	local nColCount = Grid.GetColumnCount(sGrid)
	
	if nRowCount > 0 and nColCount > 0 then
		for nRow=1, nRowCount do
			local sRowText=""
			for nCol=0, nColCount do
				local sItem = Grid.GetCellText(sGrid, nRow, nCol)
				sRowText=sRowText..sItem
			end
			TextFile.WriteFromString(sFile, sRowText, true);
		end
	end

end


SaveGridRowsToFile("Grid1", "C:\\MyFile.txt")

but i havent got time to test it

You, of course, will want to change
sRowText=sRowText..sItem

to format it -- such as;
sRowText=sRowText..", "..sItem

[RizlaUK]

yup, i did say it was untested!

The nice thing about aircode is it's fun to find out your code was perfect -- an air-code review (I didn't compile it) says it look good -- just that one bit. I'm always impressed when I get aircode 100% (which isn't as often as my ego thinks it is)

[RizlaUK]

get aircode 100%, i test code and its still not 100%, to eager to post sometimes and miss the obvious....how could i forget the d.a.m delimiter

the "UNTESTED CODE" is just insurance against "IT DON'T WORK", and anyway......the OP learns something trying to fix my code, lol

which isn't as often as my ego thinks it is

lol, yea, me too, if i was as good as my ego thinks i am id be working at MicroShaft by now!

About Grid Example. I am a newbie and had a bit of a problem with the Grid.
I did not find much help for it either in the forums. So I found the example
called TextFile2Grid and expaned on it a little.
Also I would like to thank RizlaUK for the help he gave me on saving the grid
without row Zero. It did not work the best but sure lead me in the right
direction and I was able to fix it. So because of not much about the Grid for
examples I wrote this.

I Hope this little program is a help to others.

Anyone can use this as they see fit.

Hey, for a newbie that's a pretty good example, you should also post it in the examples forum so other users can find it with ease

Well Done and keep up the good work

[Jerryab]

I did as you suggested and sent it to the examples forum. I guess it has to be checked out before it gets posted.

Anyway thank you for the compliment. I know I need alot more pratice
cause I really hate to do documentation and still need to get down the
proper way to code. All in time I guess. I figured it was good enough
for others to get something out of it anyway.

i like to see someone at least try, there are some users that have been asking stupid questions for the last 4 years....they learn nothing, its nice when people show a willingness to learn

in 2 years you will look at the code you write now and think "man, iv learned so much", i know i did, and still learning

That is too true.

Well here I go again. The more I looked at my little app the more something
did not look right. Well here is a new update Grid Examples v1.01.

I added a button to save data to a chosen record.

Now that is all I'm going to do to this Example as I think it says alot about
it's self and some usefull code for beginers.

I say done UnLess..... bla, bla, bla
I'm sure all you have been there done that...

Thanks ALL again for the help.

For the newbies......... Have Fun.........
