使用FilterXML 函数的方法
WorksheetFunction FilterXML() 已添加到 ►Excel 2013 中,允许为给定的 XML 文档指定任何 XPath 搜索字符串,该文档不必是本地保存的文件(需要 @987654323 @函数),但可以是格式良好打开和关闭节点中的字符串,即我们的测试字符串,带有一些简单的节点添加(部分类似于html结构)。
调用示例
Sub TextXML()
Dim myString As String
myString = "ABCD blah"
If check(myString) Then
'DO STUFF
Debug.Print "okay"
Else
Debug.Print "oh no"
End If
End Sub
帮助功能
Function check(ByVal teststring As String) As Boolean
Const s As String = Chr(185) ' unusual character, e.g. Chr(185): "¹"
On Error GoTo oops
If Len(WorksheetFunction.FilterXML("<all><i>" & teststring & "</i></all>", "//i[substring(translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','" & _
String(26, s) & "'),1,4)='" & String(4, s) & "']")) > 0 Then check = True
Exit Function
oops:
Err.Clear
End Function
tl;tr - 如何在 2013 年之前的 Excel 版本中使用 VBA
为了艺术,通过 XMLDOM 方法使用 XPath 的经典方式:
调用示例
Sub TextXML2()
Dim myString As String
myString = "ABCD blah"
If check2(myString) Then
'DO STUFF
Debug.Print "okay"
Else
Debug.Print "oh no"
End If
End Sub
帮助功能
Function check2(ByVal teststring As String) As Boolean
' Purpose: check if first 4 characters of a test string are upper case letters A-Z
' [0] late bind XML document
Dim xDoc As Object
Set xDoc = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0")
' [1] form XML string by adding opening and closing node names ("tags")
teststring = "<all><i>" & teststring & "</i></all>"
' [2] load XML
If xDoc.LoadXML(teststring) Then
' [3a] list matching item(s) via XPath
Dim myNodeList As Object
Set myNodeList = xDoc.SelectNodes(XPath())
'Debug.Print teststring, " found: " & myNodeList.Length
' [3b] return true if the item matches, i.e. the list length is greater than zero
If myNodeList.Length > 0 Then check2 = True
End If
End Function
Function XPath() As String
' Purpose: create XPath string to get nodes where the first 4 characters are upper case letters A-Z
' Result: //i[substring(translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹'),1,4)="¹¹¹¹"]
' get UPPER case alphabet
Const ABC As String = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
' define replacement string consisting of an unusual character repeated 26 times
Const UNUSUAL As String = "¹" ' << replace by your preferenced character
Dim replacement As String: replacement = String(Len(ABC), UNUSUAL)
'return XPath string
XPath = "//i[substring(translate(.,'" & ABC & "','" & replacement & "'),1,4)=""" & String(4, UNUSUAL) & """]"
End Function
