opening and writing into notepad
hey all,
first time i'm ever trying to do something like this, and i'm stuck. i know how to open up notepad through vba, but not much else. what i've got so far is this: ****** Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() FormatInfo 'function to format cells in spreadsheet ReturnValue = Shell("notepad.exe", 1) CreateHTML 'write text into notepad End Sub ****** basically, i want to create a html file after information is pasted into a spreadsheet. my questions are these: 1). how do i actually write into notepad, given if i have a set html code, and only a few things will change? 2). those parts that will change for each new html file are cell values in the spreadsheet. so this macro basically makes html files much easier than copying and pasting info over and over again for each new group of info. and then, ultimately, i want to save and close notepad, and save it like "blah.html", if "blah" was in cell A3. so, again, a bunch of the code is exactly the same. just little parts change, which is why i wanted this macro to work. tia. |
