Run code generated from string

[GlennL]

Hi,

I have this

If a = 56 Then b = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtAEDAT-HIGH").Text

How do I get the

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtAEDAT-HIGH").Text

part of the sting to run as normal code, since it comes now out of a sting?

It’s not at all clear what you are trying to do. Are you saying that this returns a string that is valid VBA code that you then want to execute?

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtAEDAT-HIGH").Text

This line of code
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtAEDAT-HIGH").Text
is for OLE Automation. It already works just fine.

I now want to pull different text fields, based on conditions, so I have code like this:

Do While i < 57    
    If a = 1 Then b = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtTLUSAGE-LOW").Text
    If a = 2 Then b = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtTLUSAGE-HIGH").Text
    If a = 3 Then b = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtMITYP-LOW").Text
    If a = 4 Then b = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtMITYP-HIGH").Text
    If a = 5 Then b = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtWARPL-LOW").Text

The challenge I have, is once
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtAEDAT-HIGH").Text
is stored into 'b', the code is store as the string "session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtAEDAT-HIGH").Text".

My question is: How do I get "session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtAEDAT-HIGH").Text" to execute when I am getting "session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtAEDAT-HIGH").Text" from 'b'?

By setting it to b, you are executing it. The value of b is whatever is retired from the text property of the code you posted.

It is not a string representation of the code.
