    Simulating Enter key in .bat

    I just couldn't completely give up. Try this: set /a FIELD4=\x0D Also, check to see if there are options available with programs requiring Enter. I.E., I have used some that had parameter options for automated use. Something like: C:\path\someprog.exe /a where the /a indicated to the...

    Simulating Enter key in .bat

    I didn't test enough ... The idea came from: http://justgeeks.blogspot.com/2008/07/save-output-of-dos-command-to-variable.html But, it doesn't work with non-printing characters. I give up. HTH, Bob [morning]

    Using a formula instead of "Text to Column" in a shared workbook

    NICE! I saw that no one had posted, so I was playing with it. Had come to the conclusion that you might have to take the workbook offline to make the change. Regarding the possibility of double commas, you could just run a SUBSTITUTE first. Something like the following in another column...

    How to set up Wireless when PC ethernet-connected will be removed

    Thank you both for posting! I am wirelessly operational. No offense, but your answers were pretty basic so I chose not to award any stars. I could not find the original CD that came with my kit and could not find the software to download. I considered buying additional Microsoft hardware on...

    I've already been assisted with most of my automation project, but ... When I "Save As" to create a tab-delimited text file to be imported into G/L, the end of the file is often after the last actual data. That causes a problem with the G/L program when imported, so now I have to manually...
