As for me - i would solve it with PHP without changing the langauge in the following way: > Sub MyInput() > With Workbooks("Book1").Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1) > .Formula = "=SQRT(50)" > With .Font > .Name = "Arial" > .Bold = True > .Size = 8 > End With > End With > End Sub would produce somthing like: function my_input() { global $workbooks; $chg=array('formula'=>'sqrt(50)', 'font'=>array('name'=>'Arial','bold'=>true,'size'=>8)): join_properties($workbooks['book1'].workshhets['sheet1'].cells[1][1],$chg) } Here is working(not heavily tested though) example that shows the general idea: <?php header("Content-type: text/plain\n"); $v=array('xxx'=>1,'yyy'=>array('y1'=>7,'y2'=>8)); print_r($v); echo "\n"; function update_props_recursively(&$srcdst,$updater) { foreach($updater as $k=>$v) { if(is_scalar($srcdst[$k])) { $srcdst[$k]=$updater[$k]; } else { update_props_recursively($srcdst[$k],$updater[$k]); } } } $chg=array('xxx'=>2,'yyy'=>array('y2'=>99)); update_props_recursively($v,$chg); print_r($v); ?> -------------------------------------------------------- FREE 10MB email + Antivirus + AntiSpam + POP3 + more....
