start script with makro

[python]

Hi,

I'm probably showing my vast ignorance of OOo uno and also showing laziness with this question, but here it is:

I try to write an easy html-reporting tool for a postgresql database, with my own css style sheet, first i tried it in calc. I made a little script in basic which sets me in every calc cell the data with a <tr> and/or <td> string. Then exported the calc file as txt and named it html... Well, this works really pretty. A little bit slow but, it has done the job. So far so good.

Now i try to make it a little bit more complex, like creating an index side of all sheets and database requests... I want to do it with a python script... well, in fact i already have this python script...

You are waiting for the question... Here it is:
When I'm editing my PostgreSQL database with Base, I want to start a macro after editing (for example during click on save). This macro has to start the python script, but the python script is an extra one (nothing to do with OOo).


---------------------------------------------------
edit: I'm sorry, maybe i haven't precised my problem good enough... I try to launch a program with OO macro...

Hmmm hi again,

is this problem unsolvable?

Is there no way to execute an os command with an OO.o macro???

Let's say I want to start Firefox or another program after saving a calc file??

Thanks so far

Ask in a Python forum how to start a program or shell script in Python.

Thank you Villeroy,

I know how to start a python script. But I want to start the python script with an OpenOffice macro...

For example:
- Open Base (with click on the base icon, no script nothing....)
- Edit a Database
- Click on Save
- Macro starts and launches another program (python script, web browser, what ever..)

Simply start coding some OOo macro in Python and you'll see that your question is pointless.
For other languages there is the com.sun.star.ScriptProvider
