examples/ — ready-to-run .csx scripts

Each .csx runs against a single plugin's globals via:

combridge <plugin> run-script examples\<file>.csx <outputFile>
# (use - for stdout)

Scripts are independent — copy any one, edit, and run. For broader recipe coverage (cookbook-style snippets you can compose), see LLM/scripting.md.

Index

SolidWorks (combridge solidworks ...)

File	What it does
sw_active_doc.csx	Print active doc title, path, type (smoke test)
sw_iterate_components.csx	List top-level components of an open assembly with paths, configs, suppression
sw_feature_walk.csx	Walk every feature on the active doc — read-only, safe

Excel (combridge excel ...)

File	What it does
excel_dump_active_sheet.csx	Dump the active sheet's used range as TSV
excel_iterate_workbooks.csx	Enumerate every open workbook + its worksheets
excel_find_value.csx	Search the active sheet's used range for cells matching a literal
excel_write_new_workbook.csx	Create a new workbook, write a 10×3 table, save as .xlsx

Word (combridge word ...)

File	What it does
word_doc_stats.csx	Word / character / line / page / paragraph counts
word_extract_text.csx	Dump the active document's plain text
word_find_replace_template.csx	Doc-wide find-and-replace (edit the two strings first)

PowerPoint (combridge powerpoint ...)

File	What it does
powerpoint_list_slides.csx	List every slide with title + shape count
powerpoint_export_pdf.csx	Export active presentation to PDF

Outlook (combridge outlook ...)

File	What it does
outlook_unread_inbox.csx	List unread Inbox items (sender, time, subject)
outlook_today_calendar.csx	List today's calendar appointments
outlook_list_stores.csx	List every configured store/account + Inbox item counts

Conventions

• Edit-then-run idioms — examples that need a target path or search string declare a const string at the top with an ← edit me comment. Adjust in-file before running.
• Null guards — every example that uses a per-document global (xlBook, wdDoc, pptPres, swAssy, etc.) checks for null and exits with code 2 if the app has nothing open.
• Roslyn-script-specific gotchas:
  • using var x = ... declaration form is NOT supported — use using (var x = ...) { ... } block form.
  • Top-level var declarations hoist but assignments don't — keep order natural.
  • dynamic works (Microsoft.CSharp + DynamicAttribute + CallSite refs are in the default script options).
• Don't manually Marshal.ReleaseComObject globals — the bridge owns the top-level RCW; aggressive release breaks subsequent calls.
• SW only: do NOT call mutation APIs (ForceRebuild3, EditFeature, SetSuppression2 in a loop, UpdateCutList on nested folders) inside an iteration. Several SW APIs have non-obvious crash modes — see C:\personal_rag\solidworks\ lessons before writing anything beyond read-only iteration.

Writing your own

Use these as templates. The plugin's globals are documented in LLM/plugins.md § " plugin" — that's the authoritative list of what you can reach from a script. For pattern catalogs that go beyond these examples, see LLM/scripting.md.
