#127657 - 2004-10-09 09:14 PM Start using a script
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Hi, I have looked around for an hour or so, also looked at the beginners guide etc, I'm a newbie, all I really want to do (for a start) is run one script the osid one mentioned elsewhere, I've tried wkix32.exe osid.kix (which I've named it) maybe it runs but it doesn't produce any output. Help!

This way the windows remains after execution and you can any output. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	You stated above the you were using wkix32.exe . I suggested tha you use Kix32.exe. Now you state that is exactly what you are doing. Which is it? The link you provided is no longer valid.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Sorry, I meant I was doing it from the cmd prompt, however (sorry) I was using wkix32.exe, however I've just tried the same with kix32.exe with the same result. Just don't know what I should be doing

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	I have looked up the OSID() UDF. I understand that you have this in a script file. Are you actually calling the UDF? Have you read the FAQ How to use UDFs ? _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Its easy to forget to actually display a returned value, so it should be called like this: Break On ?"Value=" OSID()[1] Exit 1 function osid(optional $sComp) ... rest of function ...

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	no, I didn't really know what a udf was! So it seems that I have to start the script inside the script itself? eg break on $abc = OSID() "Operating system = " $ab get $_ Exit 1 (followed by the rest) for example?

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	ja, you need to add some code to actually invoke the UDF. Not only that, this particular UDF doesn't return a simple number or string, it returns an ARRAY of values, so you need to specify which array value you want to use or display, ie $Value1 = OSID()[1] ?"Value1=" $Value1 $Value2 = ODID()[2] ?"Value2=" $Value2 etc, etc

And how can you not realize that the post is a UDF if it is part of the UDF Forum? Also, Shaw's example is a bad one as it requires OSID() to run multiple times. As shown in the UDF header example, the usage would be e.g. Code: $Values = OSID() ? 'Value0=' + $Values[0] ? 'Value1=' + $Values[1] for each $value in $values ? 'Value = '+$value next Edited by sealeopard (2004-10-09 10:07 PM) _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
