JavaScript, JScript

function TestDriver()
{
  // Creates a driver
  // If you connect to an Excel 2007 sheet, use the following method call:
  // Driver = DDT.ExcelDriver("C:\\MyFile.xlsx", "Sheet1", True);
  Driver = DDT.ExcelDriver("C:\\MyFile.xls", "Sheet1");

  // Iterates through records

  // Closes the driver
  DDT.CloseDriver(Driver.Name);

}

Python

def TestDriver():
  # Creates a driver
  # If you connect to an Excel 2007 sheet, use the following method call:
  # Driver = DDT.ExcelDriver("C:\\MyFile.xlsx", "Sheet1", True)
  Driver = DDT.ExcelDriver("C:\\MyFiles\\MyFile.xls", "Sheet1")
  # Iterates through records
  # Closes the driver
  DDT.CloseDriver(Driver.Name)

VBScript

Sub TestDriver
  Dim Driver

  ' Creates a driver
  ' If you connect to an Excel 2007 sheet, use the following method call:
  ' Set Driver = DDT.ExcelDriver("C:\MyFile.xlsx", "Sheet1", True)
  Set Driver = DDT.ExcelDriver("C:\MyFile.xls", "Sheet1")

  ' Iterates through records

  ' Closes the driver
  Call DDT.CloseDriver(Driver.Name)

End Sub

DelphiScript

function TestDriver;
var Driver;
begin

  // Creates a driver
  // If you connect to an Excel 2007 sheet, use the following method call:
  // Driver := DDT.ExcelDriver('C:\MyFile.xlsx', 'Sheet1', True);
  Driver := DDT.ExcelDriver('C:\MyFile.xls', 'Sheet1');

  // Iterates through records
