Tips and Hints

Frustrated by the lack of a standard function to export the definitions of an IDEA file (except for poorly printed and unusable PDFs), here's a script to export the entire table of field definitions from an IDEA file into a text (txt) file.
It only exports the currently open IDEA file.
The txt file is saved in the root directory of your project.
The filename consists of the table name + " - Table_files_full.txt"
The column separator is "|".
The text file contains the following columns:
- NAME
- CODE_TYPE (internal code for type field)

I recently saw this used in a script and thought it was pretty interesting.  It allows you to use a dictionary in IDEAScript which could be very useful.

Can someone give me the correpsonding code snippet as example?

Hi,
I'm using @isini to find the word "bar", however, it is bringing so many false positives (.i.e. "Barbara") that I would like to avoid. I remember having heard some tricks to solve this in one of the webinars, but I don't remember how and did not find my notes. Any suggestion?  

Hello,
 
I wasn't sure where to look for this task.  I have a database and it has 9 columns however, they are repeat column headers with their own sets of data.  For example,
 
Check Num 1     Date 1     Amount 1     Check Num 2     Date 2     Amount 2     Check Num 3     Date 3     Amount 3
 

I'm trying to break down the following equation so it can all be seen in the IDEA scripting window: 

I stumbled upon a (afaik) undocumented feature. The IDEA file explorer does not display IMD filenames starting with a dollar sign (e.g. $LEDGER.IMD). Nevertheless these files can be opened via IDEAscript.

I have access to a table in our accounting software package and I'm trying to download transaction from 10/1/2019 to the current date.  If I Import the table I get everything all the way back to 2006.  Is there a way once I've imported it to strip out extra dates and only get what I need before exporting to excel?  I'm in version 11.1.
