I am creating a script that will map drives for my users. Problem exists when I have to use a macro in the INI file and in the script trying pipe the result to a variable. It interprets the result has a string, which is understandable. I need to find out how to get Kixtart to recognize macro embedded in the string.
Sample Code:
$GrpName = readprofilestring ("@lserver\netlogon\kix\ini\groups.ini", 3, "group")
$DrvLtr = readprofilestring ("@lserver\netlogon\kix\ini\groups.ini", 3, "drive")
$Share = readprofilestring ("@lserver\netlogon\kix\ini\groups.ini", 3, "share")
at (13,5) "Executing:"
If ingroup("$GrpName")
at (13,20) "Mapping $DrvLtr to $Share"
Messagebox ($Share,"Show Share",)
use $DrvLtr /delete
use $DrvLtr $Share
sleep 2
endif
Sample of the INI file:
[3]
Group="network group"
Drive=W:
Share=\\is\netdata\users\@userid\lnotes
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Dear,
Welcome to the board.
It is possible by using the Execute command.
Our version is
code:
$grpname = ReadProfileString ("@lserver\netlogon\kix\ini\groups.ini", "3", "group")
$drvltr = ReadProfileString ("@lserver\netlogon\kix\ini\groups.ini", "3", "drive")
$share = ReadProfileString ("@lserver\netlogon\kix\ini\groups.ini", "3", "share")
$nul = Execute('$dummy="$share"')
$share = $dummy
At (13,5) "Executing:"
IF (InGroup("$GrpName") <> 0)
At (13,20) "Mapping $DrvLtr to $Share"
$nul=MessageBox ($share,"Show Share")
USE $drvltr /delete /persistent
USE $drvltr $share
ENDIF
FYI: IF/ENDIF win combination with Execute will not work. IF/ENDIF creates it
in his own environment block.
So don't use structures like this
code:
$share = ReadProfileString ("@lserver\netlogon\kix\ini\groups.ini", "3", "share")
IF Execute('$dummy="$share"')
ENDIF
$share = $dummy
the result isn't the same.
greetings.

As MCA stated:
Use the Execute() function to resolve the contents of @userid
You read the share from the ini-file, as you have done:
code:
$Share = readprofilestring ("@lserver\netlogon\kix\ini\groups.ini", 3, "share")
Add the following line just after this, to 'execute' the macro in the string:
code:
$RC = Execute('$$Share="$Share"')
If you are logged in as user: jaemi
Then $Share will contain:
\\is\netdata\users\@userid\lnotes
Before the Execute()
And
\\is\netdata\users\jaemi\lnotes
After the Execute()
-Erik
ps.
MCA, ![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif)
Your execute statement should look like this:
$nul = Execute('$$dummy="$share"')

Dear kholm,
Indeed your version is also possible, but during testing with IF/ENDIF structure we introduce the
additional variable.
greetings.
