I'm not very good at programming but I have had some work experience with MS Excel so here is Version 1 of my attempt to semi-automate importing data into Cmdr's Log.
1. Use EliteOCR to grab data from the Commodities Market.
2. Save your data as Excel Workbook (.xlsx). Saving as CSV-File (.csv) will also work but you will have to "fix" the data by using the "Text to Columns" function.
3. Open the .xlsx file and copy Columns A-J.
4. Open the
CMDRs Log Intergration Excel file and under the
Station Commodities EliteOCR tab, paste your data in Columns A-J. The appropriate data is pulled automatically.
5. Under Column V, there are 5 cells that are colored black. Select the appropriate data from the drop-down list.
6. On the
system_data Output tab, copy the shaded area A1-F767.
7. Open your
system_data.txt file, preferrably in Notepad++, and paste the information in an appropriate space --- meaning after any other data but before the last "}". You do not have to add tab spaces, it should be done automatically. Pasting can be done in ordinary Notepad/Wordpad as well but I prefer Notepad++.
8. Save your
system_data.txt file and the next time you open Cmdr's Log, the info should be entered completely.
Obviously, the Cmdr's log should
**NOT** be open when you work with the
system_data.txt file.
I hope it is okay with ArchV1 if problems with the Excel file would be posted here. If there are a lot of issues, I may start a thread just for it but I think the file should work fine for the meantime. Thanks and enjoy!
