Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank you in advance for any help or ideas you may have for me. Criticism is welcome too! If you are wondering why in the world I am even trying to do it this way, please tell me. THANKS! \:D

Using KiXtart 2010 4.51

My goal is to have all my servers defined as GLOBALS to save from editing server names across many scripts when the server name changes. I defined my GLOBALS:
 Code:
;filename servers.kix
GLOBAL $Carlisle, $NYC, $Boston, $BLoomfield
$Carlisle = Gettysburg
$NYC = Manhattan
$Boston = Capecod
$Bloomfield = Pinelands
RETURN


The server names are carried through all the scripts until I try to start a second KiXtart session in the existing session.

Script A needs to run as the user logging on.
Script B needs to run as an administrator.

 Code:
;filename - Script-A.kix
CALL servers.kix
;the value of Carlisle is written to the log file as expected
Open (1, "c:\kix\test.log", 5)
	writeline (1, "value of Carlisle = " + $carlisle + Chr(13) + Chr(10) )
Close (1)  
;high-kix.exe is a file that runs kix32.exe as an administrator
Shell @LDRIVE + "\high-kix.exe Script-B.kix"


 Code:
;filename - Script-B.kix
;CALL servers.kix ; I tried CALLing servers.kix here, but no luck
;$Boston = Capecod ;the value of boston is not written to the log unless I define the variable in script B
Open (1, "c:\kix\test.log", 5)
	writeline (1, "value of BOSTON = " + $boston + Chr(13) + Chr(10) )
Close (1)  
RETURN


Thanks for taking a look!

Hi and welcome to the board.

Looks like this is by design. Global variables are available in the master script and all sub scripts in the same kix session but not in a second kix session. You need to Dim the variables again.

 Quote:

GLOBAL

Action
Declare one or more global variables.

Syntax
GLOBAL "variable1" [<,>"variablex"]

Remarks
Global variables are visible everywhere in every script during the current KiXtart session.

Examples
GLOBAL $X
GLOBAL $X, $Y, $Z

Thanks for the welcome and reply!

The part the stumps me is I can CALL servers.kix from the main script-A and the GLOBALS are happy. If I CALL servers.kix from script-B, no luck. Could there be a better way to run a second session as administrator and also CALL servers.kix? Of course, assigning the variables in script-B works, but doesn't keep my server names in one file.

Thanks,
Turkey77

Put some error checking in your code and see if its something simple...

For example
 Code:
;CALL servers.kix ; I tried CALLing servers.kix here, but no luck
? "" + @serror + " - " + @serror

When you Shell, you are stating a new kix session, with a fresh environment. There's no way for it to inherit global vars, however...

You can pass args on the Kix comamnd line, and they are automatically Globals.
 Code:
$ = SetOption('WrapAtEOL', 'On')

$Dollar = Chr(36)        ; contains "$"

Call "Servers.kix"       ; vars are defined here
'NYC=' $NYC ?            ; proof of var content.. debugging!
Call "AnotherScript.kix" ; will have Servers info - have it print vars

$Cmd = 'High-Kix.exe script-b.kix'
$Cmd = $Cmd + ' ' + $Dollar + 'Carlisle=' + $Carlisle 
$Cmd = $Cmd + ' ' + $Dollar + 'NYC=' + $NYC
$Cmd = $Cmd + ' ' + $Dollar + 'Boston=' + $Boston
$Cmd = $Cmd + ' ' + $Dollar + 'Bloomfield=' + $Bloomfield

'Cmd is: ' $Cmd ? ; just for debugging...

Shell $Cmd

This will pass the global vars to the next kix on the command line.

Of course, if the first script does not modify these values, you should just load the Servers.Kix in Script-b!

Also - ditch the RETURN - you're not using GOSUB! Use "Exit 0" instead.

Glenn

PS - this is untested example, but the concept definitely works. ;\)

It's the little things that count. Your code should be:
 Code:
;filename servers.kix
GLOBAL $Carlisle, $NYC, $Boston, $Bloomfield
$Carlisle = "Gettysburg"
$NYC = "Manhattan"
$Boston = "Capecod"
$Bloomfield = "Pinelands"

Agree that it is "best practice" to wrap strings in quotes at all times, but "technically" it would not affect his outcome. Since his string has no spaces in it, Kix will happily assign it correctly to the variable as Turkey77 has written it. Not good coding practice, but not an error, either. (this is a nasty golfing trick \:o )

The RETURN, however, could make all kinds of mess, as it would try to pop a return address off the stack where none existed. I would expect it to generate a "Return without gosub" error, although I find in simple testing that code beyond the Return is not processed.

Hence why I left RETURN out, it doesn't do anything.

SOLUTION:

Need to define the GLOBALS from the command line as Glenn suggested when starting the second kix session to pass them through to the next script. Now, when I replace a server, all I have to do is edit servers.kix! SWEET! \:D

This has been tested and I am including all 4 kix files and the output as proof!

From the command line I keyed in "kix32.exe test.kix" to achieve test.log.

 Code:
;servers.kix
Global $Atlanta, $Baltimore, $BLoomfield, $Boston, $Carlisle, $Charlotte,
 $Chicago, $Culpeper, $Dallas, $Danville, $Fairfax, $Frederick, 
$Fredericksburg, $Gaithersburg, $Lanham, $Leesburg, $Manassas, $MtLaurel, 
$Naperville, $NewHaven, $NewOrleans, $NYC, $Parsippany, $Peoria, $Phoenix, 
$Raleigh, $Ranson, $Richmond, $Rochester, $Tampa, $Tulsa, $Waldorf, 
$Winchester, $WinchesterPARR

$Atlanta = "Caneriver"
$Baltimore = "Arctic"
$Bloomfield = "Liberty"
$Boston = "Capecod"
$Carlisle = "Gettysburg"
$Charlotte = "Fireisland"
$Chicago = "Wrangell"
$Culpeper = "Greatfalls"
$Dallas = "Pecos"
$Danville = "Shenandoah"
$Fairfax = "Saratoga"
$Frederick = "Acadia"
$Fredericksburg = "Aztec"
$Gaithersburg = "Amistad"
$Lanham = "Tenton"
$Leesburg = "Mesaverde"
$Manassas = "Battlefield"
$MtLaurel = "Wharton"
$Naperville = "Glacier"
$NewHaven = "Aleutian"
$NewOrleans = "Katrina"
$NYC = "Manhattan"
$Parsippany = "Sandyhook"
$Peoria = "Rocky"
$Phoenix = "Hoover"
$Raleigh = "Catoctin"
$Ranson = "Carlsbad"
$Richmond = "Echo"
$Rochester = "Ontario"
$Tampa = "Windcave"
$Tulsa = "Sitka"
$Waldorf = "RockCreek"
$Winchester = "Whitesands"
$WinchesterPARR = "Yorktown"
EXIT 0

 Code:
;test.kix

$Dollar = Chr(36)        ; contains "$"

Call "Servers.kix"       ; vars are defined here

Call "test2.kix" ; verifies the GLOBALS carry to next script in current session because they are written to the log

OK - now that you know the trick, you can consider simplifying it a bit..

Think of a 2-element array - the site and the server. If you can load all your data into this array, you can simply pass the array value from script to script.

Before anyone suggests a global declaration or using the CALL statement to preserve var content, remember that the first script (where the var is defined) is run in one user context, and the data is passed to another script run in a different user context - hence the need for this level of complication if you want to PASS variables.

There are other methods, with differing complexities and capabilities..
You could write your vars and values to a .kix file and call that file from the second script is one way. This example would require NoVarsInStrings to work as is. This creates a .KIX file with the variables and their values that the second script would simply CALL. Use DIM or GLOBAL as needed.
 Code:
$ = RedirectOutput('temp.kix')
'Dim $Arg1, $Arg2' ?
'$Arg1=' $Arg1 ?
'$Arg2=' $Arg2 ?


Using an external INI file and READPROFILESTRING/WRITEPROFILESTRING functions is another method, and might be the way I'd have done it.
