#76969 - 2003-10-02 03:01 PM Help with @WDAYNO and INGROUP
DarthBuck DarthBuck Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-20 Posts: 7	Here is what I want to do. On Monday I want to copy files from people that belong to NT group A, on Tuesday I want to copy files from people in NT group B, and so on.... This doesn't work, but maybe someone can provide some insight on how to make it work. ------------------------- $1 = GROUPA $2 = GROUPB $3 = GROUPC IF INGROUP ("$(@WDAYNO)") [Do stuff] ENDIF --------------------------- Basicly I'm trying to write this efficiantly and not use a bunch of nested IF statements.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	I'd second the array solution, but if it scares you too much you could do it as well like this : break on $1 = GROUPA $2 = GROUPB $3 = GROUPC $_ = execute("$$TodaysGroup=$$@wdayno") if ingroup($TodaysGroup) ;do stuff endif _________________________

Howard's solution is the most scalable as it requires no script modification when new groups should be assigned to specific backup cycles. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

DarthBuck DarthBuck Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-20 Posts: 7	Thanks all for the replys. Howard's script would be perfect if I was able to add NT groups. It would also eliminate the need to ask the next question. Here is what I'm going with: code: $groupArray = "GroupA","GroupB"..."GroupH" IF INGROUP ($groupArray[@wdayno-1]) [do stuff] ENDIF My problem is that I have 8 goups and only 5 days people login. Any suggestions on how to combine 4 goups into 1 for the INGROUP? D.

Thanks Howard. I had to make one little change though. The

code:

 for $weekday=1 to 7

loop did the stuff every day. Here is what I ended up with:

code:

 
Dim $Group[7]
$Group[0] = ""
$Group[1] = "Group1","Group2","Group3","Group4"
$Group[2] = "Group5"
$Group[3] = "Group6"
$Group[4] = "Group7"
$Group[5] = "Group8"
$Group[6] = ""
$Group[7] = ""


    $weekday = @WDAYNO
    if vartype($Group[$weekday]) = 8192
        for each $Grp in $Group[$weekday]
            if INGROUP($Grp)
                Do Something...
            endif
        next
    else
        if INGROUP($Group[$weekday])
            Do Something...
        endif
    endif

Thanks again to all.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Glad to hear that it worked for you. Incidentally, the loop was necessary in the prototype code to test since I did not plan on waiting a week for the results. [ 07.
