Im able to insert 'mailmerge' fields in the word template documents at specific locations, and accessing these through the code in C#. I can update the values of these fields, no problem.

I've done a bit of research and will continue to do so...

I'm trying to run a cron job on my web server. I used the cron module at the cPanel to add the file and used this command.. `sh ./public_html/crark/run.sh` The problem was that it takes the root folder context for all the followed processes i.e. I call run.sh from cron job which has the following code ./public_html/test/test.exe -h -s > ./public_html/test/output.txt The code apparently doesn't work as **./test** calls a few files within that folder. I originally used ./test -h -s > output.txt as the code inside run.sh because I wanted it to work in that directory context. It would …

I have searched and nothing that I have found hits directly on what I am looking for (or maybe my searches have not hit on the combo of words). In C# I have created an Excel sheet, using Interop.Excel, in which I insert some data and create a chart. This all works fine when I do a xlWorkBook.SaveAs. What I want to do is prompt the user to put the automated workbook somewhere with thier own file name. I have tried (<http://p2p.wrox.com/vb-how/63900-disabling-second-excel-save-prompt.html>) where he basically does a new SaveFileDialog then if its == OK he builds his Excel sheet then …

I am using the following to send a string to the application on the foreground. But it's no good, as it for some reason only accepts numbers, and letters in uppercase. But I also need to send letters in lowercase, and slashes and backslashes etc. Can anyone help me achieve this? I also tried simply copying the string to the clipboard with the intention of finding out how to emulate Ctrl+V keypresses but it wouldn't copy the text to the clipboard in backgroundworker, which I use in my app. Said something about STAThread being required. So now it's back to …

Hi All, I'm Trying to solve this puzzle for my script: Let's say we have 3 lists, A,B and C with the following elements 'A' = [5,3,1] 'B' = [6,5,2] 'C' = [2,0,-2] I want to go through all 27 combination sequentially, looking for a combination that is 'valid' AND has the highest sum. Let's say that A=3 B=2 and C = 2 is valid. Testing all 27 and computing the score (sum) will work, but is computationally too expensive for larger problems. I mean to say that the program should test the highest combination first: A=5 , B=6, C= …

Hey there everyone, I'm working in windows, writing a python program which runs various programs through command line and pipes the outputs of one into the next program. All the programs accept all instructions in one line then run. I've been using the os.system command to run these. One program though does not work in this manner - it prompts the user for the input file name/location then once it receives this, prompts with the name and desired location of output, etc., until it receives all the information necessary to run. Just providing all the necessary information separated by newlines …

I have been having nothing but trouble trying to get C# to read excel. I haven't even gotten to the writing part, but I imagine it's going to be a challenge, too. FYI, I'm pretty new at this, and don't have a ton of experience, so I'm sure I'm missing something that's obvious to someone who's been around a bit. Basically, what I'm trying to do is write a simple program that will read information from 2 different workbooks, reading each of 4 columns from one book into a different list<string>, and reading the 2 columns from the other book …

Even Microsoft is sometimes faced with the decision of whether to "buy or build." This time it chose to buy. With the acquisition of Opalis Software announced yesterday, Redmond in one stroke takes a major leap in data center process automation. And it couldn't have come at a better time. Major announcements by [Dell](http://www.networkcomputing.com/data-center/new-dell-hardware-and-software-aid-data-center-automation.php?type=article) and [EMC](http://www.networkcomputing.com/storage-networking-management/emc-fast-brings-storage-tiering-to-fibre-channel-sata-and-flash.php) last week put Microsoft behind by at least six months when it comes to IT automation; according to reports, it will be mid-2010 before we see a Microsoft-branded solution. Opalis's flagship is Integration Server, which automates data center processes--such as those for provisioning a …
