Refresh IDEA with IDEAScript command
Forums
Hi,I am using Python together with IDEAScript and when I created IMD files I have the problem that at the end I need to manually click the refresh button in IDEA in order to refresh IDEA and that it displays the IDEA-files.
I wondered if there is an IDEAScript function that I could add at the end of my code to automatically refresh? I checked the help section in IDEA, but couldn't find any command.

Same Script for multiple Tabels
Forums
I currently have the usecase for one script to run for several tabels with different names. I wanted to ask if there is an easy way without having to change a lot in the scipt. For the part of the name which changes, I have already declared a variable.
Thanks in advance!!!

Load a saved equation using a script
Forums
Hi IDEAScripting,
I hope you are all well. I developed IDEA Scripts for a complete audit project back in 2017. Brian has helped me before on this project. Back in 2020, I switched audit teams, and my old team continued using my programming every year as they have to do it. I help them every year to setup the files, remind them what to do, and edit some formulas that I hardcoded in the scripts.

Accessing multiple Idea Databases
Forums
I have a process that comes out of the smart analyzer that builds a what I will call a base database. Let's call it DB. It then builds DB(1) DB(2) etc.. I want to programmatically concatenate then into one database. The number of databases underneath the base is not the same.
I see two ways of doing it.

I have a file that adds multiple user groups for a user into one column. I am wondering if there is a way to split that cell into multiple rows so the user will show mulitple times with each individual group name. I have attached an example of what I have and what I want it to look like. Thanks!

As in string
Forums
Hi all. I am struggling with ideascript. I am trying to exclude certain default postcodes and when I have them within quotes it automatically tries to recognise AS as As. So when I search for postcode = "XX1 1AS" it changes it to postcode = "XX1 1As" it still does it when I try all @lower or @upper.

Updating a field from a secondary database
Forums
I am trying to accomplish the process described below. I tried it by adding a new field to the master db and doing a database lookup on the wildcard table. The lookup was successful but I was not sure how to get the value from the wildcard table to add to the new field. I should have kept the code to post. I believe I needed to get values from two tables but could only get them from one.
