Save a .csv file with a semicolon instead of a comma in VBS-CodePudding

I need to convert a list of excel files into semicolon csv file through a vbs file because a program I use only imports vbs files with semicolon as separator, I programmed this small file in vbs, but it manages to export it as csv with the comma, not semicolon.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objStartFolder = "C:\Users\loren\Desktop\eFolder" 'folder where my Excel files are saved

Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
    csv_format = 6
    
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    
    src_file = objStartFolder & "\" & objFile.Name 'Input files
    dest_file = objStartFolder & "\OUTPUT\" & objFile.Name & ".csv" 'Output files
    
    Dim oExcel
    Set oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    
    Dim oBook
    Set oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(src_file)
    
    oBook.SaveAs dest_file, csv_format
    
    oBook.Close False
    oExcel.Quit
Next

CodePudding user response：

I solved it by saving the file with Local argument's parameter set to True. Thanks to the response from @VBasic2008
