Josh R Josh R Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 49	I have output going to a CSV file. The first thing that shows up is a 0. I could care less about a command box. I need to know how to stop the zero. I have no idea how to do that.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	WTF are you talking about? There is no reference to any command box. Just read the FAQ. quote: The likely answer is that they are the return codes from functions code: Examples: $ReturnCode = AddKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\EZReg") $RC=BackupEventLog("Application","C:\eventbackups\application.evt") _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Josh R Josh R Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 49	WTF does that code have to do with what I am asking!?? RedirectOutput ("\\AFNBLFSRV1\INVLOG\@HOSTNAME.CSV") = 1 ?"," "Computer Name," "OS," "Service Pack," "SID," "DATE," "MAC," "IP," ?"," "@HOSTNAME," "@PRODUCTTYPE," "@CSD," "@SID," "@DATE," "@ADDRESS," "@IPADDRESS0," ?" " ?"APPS" Where is the zero coming from!?!!?!?

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	ou may also want to look at the FAQ Topic: File Input/Output Primer There I have an example of how the return code from RedirectOutput() is handled. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Josh, first of all we're trying to help you without even seeing the code you're using. That doesn't make it particular easy for us. Secondly, the answer you are looking for is most likely in the referenced FAQ as you are redirecting your output from the console to a CSV file. Have you even treid to implement the recommendation the the FAQ or compared your code with what is demonstrated in the FAQ? We are willing to help you, however, we expect that you do your homework, too. That includes reading what the different forums are about so that you don't cross-post or post in inappropriate forums, and for example reading referenced threads and especially the FAQ forum. BTW, a CSV file is not an Excel file as Excel is using a proprietary file format that KiXtart cannot write to directly. A CSV file is a plain-text file with standardized formatting, namely comma-separated-value formatting. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	The '0' is coming from code: RedirectOutput ("\\AFNBLFSRV1\INVLOG\@HOSTNAME.CSV") = 1 , thus the initially referenced FAQ still applies. Additionally, this behavior is also documented in the KiXtart Manual, page 25-26 in the v4.21 edition. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Josh, I have been more than patient with you. First off, your syntax is wrong. RedirectOutput ("\\AFNBLFSRV1\INVLOG\@HOSTNAME.CSV") = 1 You cannot assign a '= 1' to the end of a function! As mentioned already in the FAQ and reiterated for your benefit, the zero is coming from your RedirectOutput(). You can silence it as per my examples: $RC=RedirectOutput ("\\AFNBLFSRV1\INVLOG\@HOSTNAME.CSV") _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Actually, code: RedirectOutput ("\\AFNBLFSRV1\INVLOG\@HOSTNAME.CSV") = 1 can be done if one wants to check whether the returncode of REDIRECTOUTPUT equals 0. It's basiclaly comparing two values. The result for this comparison will then printed. However, Les is right, when he says that one cannot set a function to a value. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Josh R Josh R Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 49	Ok obviously I do not understand where this is supposed to go. I did not mean to have the = 1 on the end. When I cut and pasted it I copied the wrong thing. My code does not have the = 1 on it. Where am I supposed to put the: $RC=RedirectOutput ("\\AFNBLFSRV1\INVLOG\@HOSTNAME.CSV")

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	code: $RC=RedirectOutput('\\AFNBLFSRV1\INVLOG\@HOSTNAME.CSV') will go to the line of code from where on you want to redirect console output to the specified file. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	mm... my quess is that we will see lot more shouting later... josh, every time you have specific problem, search the manual first for explanation. then, doing a search on faq-forum will answer many more questions. if you still have a problem, post it in descriptive manner. and once you get answered, try to understand the answer. if you can't understand, type: "could you explain little more this and this" simple yelling and frustration does not cut it. I bet we all know what it is to not to get something but we have no way of helping if you are not fully "there" to be helped. cheers. ps. shawn, I'm not so sure I do _________________________ ! download KiXnet
