IDEAScript Questions

Date range vis a vis missing record in transaction table

Hi Brian,
I have two files. 
1. Stay database- which gives the date range for a particular record. For Eg:- Mr.A has stayed from 1st April 2017 to 4th April 2017.
2. Transaction database- This has the list of charges posted for each customer. So in this i would have day wise charges posted for Mr.A
Now i want to compare whether for every day stayed i.e. 1st April, 2nd April, 3rd April and 4th April the charges have got posted in transaction database or not.
How best can i do this using a script?

Script for pivot table

Hi Brian,
i created a script for pivot table results.
1.  I dont want the subtotals to appear in the pivot. Is there a way to include this in the script itself? Right now i need to manually right click and give remove field.
2. I may run the script multiple times over a period. I do not want a new pivot table result to be created everytime but it should be replacing the existing one. But this is not happening.
 
Could you please help.

Replace words in txt file

I am working in a script that open an txt file and replace any caracter that I choose for another one, so far everything is ok.
The problem is when the file that I am reading contains quote marks(") as at example attached(input.txt).
In this case, when the script faces one line that contains a simple quote mark in the middle is enough for the program launch an error message to the user (image attached).

Dealing with Folders

I've been trying to figure out a way to deal with user created folders. 
Its very common for users in my organization to work with a set of databases in IDEA and then create a folder to organize them within the current directory. They will create a folder and then move the databases over. The problem though is many of the scripts that I have been written can not find those databases moved into those folders. The scripts will pull all the databases in the current directory unless they are within a folder.
