#21818 - 2002-05-21 12:09 AM creating shares... The hard way...
MeneM MeneM Lurker Registered: 2002-05-20 Posts: 4 Loc: Amsterdam	Hi all, I'm new to kixtart. But I can already say it is one of the more handy things to know. I'm also proud that it was a dutchman who invented it. Ofcourse with the input of many others. I would like some help on the following piece of code wich i cannot get to work properly: code: $server = server $shares = Mark,www,hdd,Public $drives = e:,f:,g:,h: $I = 0 FOR EACH $mapping IN $shares use $drives[$I] \\$server\$mapping $I = $I + 1 NEXT I think it obvious what I want it to do, but it wont work right. So... What am I doing wrong? Mark

Darren_W Darren_W Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-10-10 Posts: 208 Loc: Bristol, England	Hi, I think your values should be in speech marks. EG: code: $server = "server" $shares = "Mark","www","hdd","Public" $drives = "e:","f:","g:","h:" $I = 0 FOR EACH $mapping IN $shares use $drives[$I] \\$server\$mapping $I = $I + 1 NEXT Darren _________________________ I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number 1, 'cover for me.' Number 2, 'oh, good idea, boss.' Number 3, 'it was like that when I got here'.

MeneM MeneM Lurker Registered: 2002-05-20 Posts: 4 Loc: Amsterdam	In this try I made sure $I is an integer and not a string. So it now looks like this: code: $server = "server" $shares = "Mark","www","hdd","Public" $drives = "e:","f:","g:","h:" $I = "0" $I = val("$I") FOR EACH $mapping IN $shares use $drives[$I] \\$server\$mapping $I = $I + 1 NEXT And guess what? It still won't work... Mark

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Try this, I formatted the code properly. The backslashes have been put in quotes. code: $server = "server" $shares = "Mark","www","hdd","Public" $drives = "e:","f:","g:","h:" $I = 0 FOR EACH $mapping IN $shares USE $drives[$I] '\\'+$server+'\'+$mapping $I = $I + 1 NEXT As an alternative, you might want to put your mappings configuration into a .INI file. This way you can update drive mappings without changing the script code. An example for printer mappings is provided here: http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=004838 It would be very easy to translate it for drive mappings. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	[Dean, did you just deleted you post that I was replying to?] Dean: Kixtart can accept a variable as drivename, e.g. code: $drive='y:' $share='\\server\share' USE $drive $share will work just fine.

Dean B. Dean B. Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-02-04 Posts: 46 Loc: Allegan, MI USA	Jens - Yes, I deleted my post since it contained incorrect information. Thank you for providing the proper solution. I'm just not in the "CODE MODE" today. _________________________ Dean
