Glenn:

Nice UDFs coming along.

However, I'd rather move the global variables into the UDfs in such a way that they will be defined automatically. An example could be

code:

Function tsInitTask(OPTIONAL $NullFlag)
  ; initializing global variables
  if not vartype($TASKPARMS)
    global $TASKPARMS
    $TASKPARMS = "ApplicationName","Parameters","WorkingDirectory","Comment","Creator",
    "Priority","MaxRunTime","Idle","DontStartIfOnBatteries","KillIfGoingOnBatteries", 
    "RunOnlyIfLoggedOn","SystemRequired","DeleteWhenDone","Suspend","StartOnlyIfIdle", 
    "KillOnIdleEnd","RestartOnIdleResume","Hidden","Interactive","HaltOnError"
  endif
  if not vartype($TRIGCODES)
    global $TRIGCODES
    $TRIGCODES = "SDTEDTSTMDURINTHEDKADDISTYPARG"
  endif
  if not vartype($TRIGPARMS)
    global $TRIGPARMS
    $TRIGPARMS = "StartDate","EndDate","StartTime","MinutesDuration","MinutesInterval", 
    "HasEndDate","KillAtDuration","Disabled","Type","TypeArguments"
  endif
 
  If $NullFlag <> ""
    ; return an array with null values
    $tsInitTask = "","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""
    Exit 0
  EndIf
 
  ; return an array with default values
  $tsInitTask = "RQ","","%SYSTEMDRIVE%\TEMP","Task created with tsTool","@USERID","NORMAL", \
  "3600000","10 60","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","default","default"
 
  Exit 0
 
EndFunction

This way, the variables are always created and the user will not have to worry abut this.

MCA MCA KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-04-28 Posts: 5152 Loc: Netherlands, EU	Dear Lonkero, FYI Removing the topics before entering the combined one prevents a jump in the forum numbering. Previous week another unwanted topic on UDF forum was removed and that number was assigned to another new topic. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I don't mind that and normal users of the board most likely will not even see it. actually, as it's possible to call a function from another function, glenn could write this as UDF-library: myfunction.mysomesubfunction($arg) but I still insist those 16 UDFs to be combined in one as it's easily done. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Um - guys.. Yes, they are ALL related!! This was indended to be all in ONE udf file.. a Library of Functions, if you will... I took the suggestion of posting them independently because of the size of the UDF file was over 1000 lines. Separate function posts would be easier to review and discuss as well. If you read the first post, it suggests that the user combine the code from each of the first 14 posts back into one file to read in. Jens: I considered that, but chose to put the definition in the header (since <I> had them all in one file ) to make them easier to maintain. The 4 global vars (as constants) are used by multiple functions. Since the JT command appears to be a "work in progress" with some parameters not working, I figured that I'd be updating the parameter lists someday and didn't want to do it in multiple functions. Lonkero: As above, they are all in one file.. I'm not sure what advantage the sub-function concept would provide. Also, If you combine all 16 posts, you'll get no end of syntax errors when Kix encounters the MS-Word/HTML document! Finally, I think that if you combine the code and try the sample, you will all have a clearer understanding of how this works... Sheesh! I'd never write something that made you load 14 separate yet inter-related UDF files!!! See the beginning of the test code in post 15.

Possible inspired with PostPrep possibilities. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Yes, exactly. I have some MS-Word docs that describe the functions and have examples. PostPrep doesn't seem to be helpful for that. The HTML that word produces is useless for this BBS' purpose - too many styles and other META definitions. Is there any way to attach a binary file, like a ZIP, to a message so that docs and such can be distributed in a native format? Thanks Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I still don't get it. where do common man (common admin) need any shit like word? it's just fancy interface for notepad with some add-ons... I still don't get it, how word is in anyway related to kixing? or real-life? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Lonkero: Word makes pretty (and in our environment, portable) documents. I work for a Government organization with 14 other admins. Before I deploy any script more than 5-6 lines long (considering we have a 3 line header!) I have to write a document that describes how it is used, and it has to be circulated and reviewed before we implement it throughout the system infrastructure. Sometimes we even need to have our security group review it. Anyway, I was trying to post those docs here in a nice looking format - html - but exporting from word got ugly real fast. Plain text is OK, but you scripting types would do just as well with reading the code & comments. Most of our admins don't script, so the docs are a MUST! Bottom line - if anyone wants the docs - or even the whole package zipped up, I'd be happy to email it to them. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
