Hi.
I'm using the fnLDAPQuery UDF to extract user details from our W2k3R2 AD. It was working brilliantly until I added "description" to the $aAttributes. The error I get is:
ERROR : Error in expression: this type of array not supported in expressions.!
Script: C:\Scripts\Kix\GetUsers.kix
Line : 31
Line 31 is the 'else' line.
I have modified the code slightly to return values for each user on one line separated by a comma, EG. Name,Department,Mail,Description. If I don't query for description it works great. I've tried the original code and get the same error.
Any help greatly appreciated. Idiot Guide approach would be perfect :-)
Pete.
My Code:
$aAttributes = "Name","Department","mail","Description"
$aResults = fnLDAPQuery($aAttributes,$sADsPath,$strFilter)
For $c = 0 to Ubound($aResults)
For $r = 0 to UBound($aResults,2)
If $r > 0
$UserDetails = $UserDetails + "," + $aResults[$c, $r]
Else
$UserDetails = $aResults[$c,$r]
EndIf
Next
$UserDetails ?
$UserDetails = ""
Next
Original Code:
For $c = 0 to Ubound($aResults)
For $r = 0 to UBound($aResults,2)
$aResults[$c,$r] ?
Next
?
Next

Hi Lonkero, thanks for the response. I added the line as requested and ended up with the following:
For $r = 0 to UBound($aResults,2)
If $r > 0
? $c ' ' $r ' ' vartype($aResults) ' ' vartype($aResults[$c, $r])
$UserDetails = $UserDetails + "," + $aResults[$c, $r]
Else
$UserDetails = $aResults[$c,$r]
EndIf
Next
I ran the code and got the following output:
0 1 8204 8
0 2 8204 8
0 3 8204 8204
ERROR : Error in expression: this type of array not supported in expressions.!
Script: C:\Scripts\Kix\GetUsers.kix
Line : 32
Line 32 is the else line.
I then ran again with description moved to the second attribute rather than the fourth and got the following:
0 1 8204 8204
ERROR : Error in expression: this type of array not supported in expressions.!
Script: C:\Scripts\Kix\GetUsers.kix
Line : 32
Thanks for any help you can provide.

it means that the description you got in there is an array, which really doesn't make sense to me...
what it returns with:
For $r = 0 to UBound($aResults,2)
If $r = 0
$UserDetails = $aResults[$c,$r]
Else
if $r = 3
$UserDetails = $UserDetails + "," + join($aResults[$c, $r],@crlf)
else
$UserDetails = $UserDetails + "," + $aResults[$c, $r]
endif
EndIf
Next
why is the description an array does not compute. when I write to it, I don't write an array, so indeed I would expect to get a string back as well...

Thanks Lonkero, that has worked brilliantly :-)
I understand that the script now checks if it is at position 4 ($r=3) so I'll make sure I take this into account when setting $aAttributes, but can you tell me why the script needs to add a line feed? is this because the description field is being seen as a list of things rather than a plain text field?
Thanks again for your help.
Pete.
