Question

在Excel中，如果我在单元格中输入单词“PIZZA”，选择它，然后按SHIFT + F7，我可以获得我最喜欢的食物的英文字典定义。很酷。但我想要一个能够做到这一点的功能。像'= DEFINE（“PIZZA”）'。

是否有办法通过VBA脚本访问Microsoft的研究数据？我正在考虑使用JSON解析器和免费的在线词典，但似乎Excel有一个内置的好词典。关于如何访问它的任何想法？

Answer 1

如果VBA的Research对象无效，您可以尝试使用Google Dictionary JSON方法：

首先，添加对“Microsoft WinHTTP Services”的引用。

在看到我疯狂的JSON解析技巧后，您可能还想添加自己喜欢的VB JSON解析器like this one。

然后创建以下公共函数：

Function DefineWord(wordToDefine As String) As String

  ' Array to hold the response data.
    Dim d() As Byte
    Dim r As Research


    Dim myDefinition As String
    Dim PARSE_PASS_1 As String
    Dim PARSE_PASS_2 As String
    Dim PARSE_PASS_3 As String
    Dim END_OF_DEFINITION As String

    'These "constants" are for stripping out just the definitions from the JSON data
    PARSE_PASS_1 = Chr(34) & "webDefinitions" & Chr(34) & ":"
    PARSE_PASS_2 = Chr(34) & "entries" & Chr(34) & ":"
    PARSE_PASS_3 = "{" & Chr(34) & "type" & Chr(34) & ":" & Chr(34) & "text" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "text" & Chr(34) & ":"
    END_OF_DEFINITION = "," & Chr(34) & "language" & Chr(34) & ":" & Chr(34) & "en" & Chr(34) & "}"
    Const SPLIT_DELIMITER = "|"

    ' Assemble an HTTP Request.
    Dim url As String
    Dim WinHttpReq As Variant
    Set WinHttpReq = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")

    'Get the definition from Google's online dictionary:
    url = "http://www.google.com/dictionary/json?callback=dict_api.callbacks.id100&q=" & wordToDefine & "&sl=en&tl=en&restrict=pr%2Cde&client=te"
    WinHttpReq.Open "GET", url, False

    ' Send the HTTP Request.
    WinHttpReq.Send

    'Print status to the immediate window
    Debug.Print WinHttpReq.Status & " - " & WinHttpReq.StatusText

    'Get the defintion
    myDefinition = StrConv(WinHttpReq.ResponseBody, vbUnicode)

    'Get to the meat of the definition
    myDefinition = Mid$(myDefinition, InStr(1, myDefinition, PARSE_PASS_1, vbTextCompare))
    myDefinition = Mid$(myDefinition, InStr(1, myDefinition, PARSE_PASS_2, vbTextCompare))
    myDefinition = Replace(myDefinition, PARSE_PASS_3, SPLIT_DELIMITER)

    'Split what's left of the string into an array
    Dim definitionArray As Variant
    definitionArray = Split(myDefinition, SPLIT_DELIMITER)
    Dim temp As String
    Dim newDefinition As String
    Dim iCount As Integer

    'Loop through the array, remove unwanted characters and create a single string containing all the definitions
    For iCount = 1 To UBound(definitionArray) 'item 0 will not contain the definition
        temp = definitionArray(iCount)
        temp = Replace(temp, END_OF_DEFINITION, SPLIT_DELIMITER)
        temp = Replace(temp, "\x22", "")
        temp = Replace(temp, "\x27", "")
        temp = Replace(temp, Chr$(34), "")
        temp = iCount & ".  " & Trim(temp)
        newDefinition = newDefinition & Mid$(temp, 1, InStr(1, temp, SPLIT_DELIMITER) - 1) & vbLf  'Hmmmm....vbLf doesn't put a carriage return in the cell. Not sure what the deal is there.
    Next iCount

    'Put list of definitions in the Immeidate window
    Debug.Print newDefinition

    'Return the value
    DefineWord = newDefinition

End Function

之后，只需将功能放入您的单元格中即可：

= DefineWord（ “lionize”）

Answer 2

通过研究对象

Dim rsrch as Research
rsrch.Query( ...

要进行查询，您需要有效Web服务的GUID。我找不到微软内置服务的GUID。
