KIX32 v4.20 doesn't print var?
|
Hi all,
Our logonscript shows drives and printers that are being installed, but if i want to use KIX32 version 4.20 (currently 4.12) all the var like for example:
? "The $printer is installed"
are not shown bij kix, then kix 4.20 shows:
? "The is installed"
mmmh...
anyone?

Re: KIX32 v4.20 doesn't print var?

What does VarTypeName($Printer) return? You may a problem somewhere else in your program that is not populating the variable.

The variable for example $printer works fine if i use kix 4.12, when i only replace the kix version to 4.20 the variable $printer is empty while it should say someting like \\server\printer
for drives it's someting like
Color n/n ? "$DriveLetter $Path"
It doesn't matter what variable i use they all stay emtpy?

How about not encapsulating the vars in quotes?
For example, you have:
code:or..? "The $printer is installed"
code:try this -Color n/n ? "$DriveLetter $Path"
code:or..? "The "+$printer+" is installed"
code:HTH,Color n/n ? $DriveLetter $Path

Without seeing the script, it's hard to help. There are a couple of reasons why this happens, e.g. variable scope issues. Also, please do not use variables embedded inside strings. You could also try
code:? 'vartype(printer) = '+vartype($printer)
? 'vartypename(printer) = '+vartypename($printer)
? 'printer = '+$printer
? 'The $printer is installed'

As I stated previously, your code may work with 4.12 but may not be setting the $printer variable correctly under 4.20.
So please use Vartypename() to validate your variable when it is assigned to insure that you are getting what you think you should be getting under 4.20.

Are you sure about the versions?
quote:
- Added NoVarsInStrings option. If this option is ON, variables inside strings
are not resolved.

Re: KIX32 v4.20 doesn't print var?

So, did you try our suggestions and check the vartype?
Please report back with the vartype results and/or post your script.

If you have valid data when the variable is assigned, check it again just before printing it to the screeen.

So, now you're saying you don't get any output at all?

This sounds different from what you talked about before.It could indicate a script failure at a point before the printing section. Put a DEBUG ON into the first line of your code and step through the code in order to detect the failing line.
Oh, and the reaosn we make suggestions is that you DO give them a try and report back so that we can help you effectively.

Have put in a part of the script here:
:ConnectDrive
USE $DriveLetter $Path
DEBUG ON
If SETOPTION("NoVarsInStrings", "OFF") = 0 Endif
? "TEST"
? "the printer $DriveLetter $Path"
Vartype($Driveletter)
If @ERROR = 0
Color n/n ? "the printer $DriveLetter $Path"
Else
If SetConsole ("SHOW") = 0 Endif
Color r+/n ? ? "Warning the following drive failed to connect:" ? "$DriveLetter $Path" ?
Sleep 5
Endif
DEBUG OFF
This part is printed correct the first time.
? "TEST"
? "the printer $DriveLetter $Path"
After the "If @ERROR = 0" part nothing is printed anymore and because i give a loop in the script everything including the ? "TEST" part is not printed anymore after the first loop.
The VarTypeName($Printer) returns 8, that would be a string.
The drive letter and the path i get out of a query script like this:
[Global Group]
Drive1="M: \\server01\sharename"
Drive2="Q: \\server02\sharename"
Downloaded the latest version from here 4.20 just to be sure. same results :-(
hope this helps a bit...

Please show us more of your script including the the code where you read your INI file and split the string into $DriveLetter and $Path. Infact show us all your code and it would be much easier for us to help.

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! i think something changed between 4.12 and 4.20 with this part if you would use COLOR:
Color n/n ? "the printer $DriveLetter $Path"
Because if i only print:
? "the printer $DriveLetter $Path"
everthing works fine...

Re: KIX32 v4.20 doesn't print var?

also, I must ask the code also as there is no loop code given.
oh, and remove all these:
If SetConsole ("SHOW") = 0 Endif
and setoption things from the execution part.

I saw it ofcourse.
but still my comments stay.
and even though you are glad now that your script runs, you should be considered why it didn't run before.

Re: KIX32 v4.20 doesn't print var?

If i try to post the script it says:
Sorry, we do not permit this HTML tag: Parenthesis in HTML tag
???
Well yes that's true...
If you read the 4.20 manual, it stat's
New commands, functions, macros
Enhanced commands, functions
COLOR COLOR now accepts variables as input.
So they did change something?
Well i can't use COLORS anymore, because then i can't print any text...
I think it's that you can use $var with the COLOR option and you have
to close it somehow before you can print something to the screen?

I'm not surprised you are not seeing anything.
quote:The "n" in the color statement refers to "normal", which is black.
Color n/n ? "the printer $DriveLetter $Path"
You are printing black text on a black background, and that makes it kinda hard to read

eh...
normal is for black?
like, n=black text/n=black background...
should use more console stuff to remember these.
good pick anyway there howarth.
