Reading Excel Cells with Scribe

[jcoulter105]

Scribe is working out beautifully for what we need to do.  Having one minor annoyance and hoping there is an option I am missing.

When I use the ScribeDocReadValue function on an empty Excel cell, it returns "ERROR."  I'm using this to pull data from a form we had been using in Excel into my FM solution which is replacing that form.  There are many dozen cells and I'd rather not use IF to test for the error on every single one of them.  Is there a way to have Scribe just return "" if the cell is empty?  I mean, it's not technically an error.  Just an empty cell.

Right now I'm running a Find/Replace in my import script once I've pulled in all the data.  Would rather it just pulled in "" instead.

Thanks !!

Hello,

Can you tell me what the actual error is? You can do so by calling ScribeLastError after the function returns ERROR like so:

Quote

If [ScribeDocReadValue("Some Cell") = "ERROR"]
     Show Custom Dialog ["There was an Error"; ScribeLastError]
End If

Yep ... it says java.lang.NullPointerException
