 Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2004 12:28 am Post subject: Is @EXT() dependible, or is there another solution in v502? |
 |
|
Hi,
The below searches for some folders and files with long names.
In the EXAMPLE below, in the INFO @EXT(14) shows BLANK(nothing).
But the @item(14) show the file with the EXTENSION ???
| Code: | %%ext_length = @LEN(@EXT(14))
IF @ZERO(%%ext_length)
info @item(14)@CR()@CR()Here is the EXTENSION":" @EXT(14)@CR()@CR()@item(14)
wait "0.5"
END |
Any Ideas? (or maybe I have a syntax error?) |

Yeah syntax is it. Try @ext(@item(14))

Thanks Dread for spoting my typo.
But now it didnt help other problem, please copy/paste below and try it, it gives false reading on the first item that pops up... 
| Code: |
LIST CREATE, 1
LIST CREATE, 2
LIST CREATE, 3
List loadtext,1
"C:\zzz\zzz\this & that - etc\aaa info and INFO - blaa blaa
"C:\zzz\zz MakeWDG backup\zzzz 1.7 - Strong\Directmodem\hhd udu dud d io2 w oow wok jjd d may28.wdg
"C:\zzz\zz MakeWDG backup\zzzz 1.7 - Strong\Directmodem\jhfidu hfiodsf jijd f ppek fpeN ewMaps.wdg
%%amount = "30"
REPEAT
%%just_name_lengh = @NAME(@item(1))
%%length_just_name = @LEN(%%just_name_lengh)
IF @greater(%%length_just_name,%%amount)
Info JUST NAME "=" @NAME(@item(1))@CR()@CR()@item(1)
%%path_only = @PATH(@item(1))
%%name_only = @NAME(@item(1))
%%ext_only = @EXT(@item(1))
%%ext_only_plus_period = @CHR(46)""%%ext_only
%%full_filename = %%name_only""%%ext_only_plus_period
LIST APPEND,2,%%full_filename
LIST APPEND,3,%%path_only
IF @NOT(@equal(@item(1), ))
LIST delete,1
END
END
UNTIL @equal(@count(1),0)
:close
LIST CLOSE, 1
LIST CLOSE, 2
LIST CLOSE, 3
EXIT

I noticed also that when I paste in the forum above, that it added an un-wanted ' ;amp;amp ' which probably wont effect the testing, just remove that part if in doubt.
And I'm wondering what did that also, I've ran McAfee and spyware programs, do you think I need to re-install my Windows XP Pro maybe? |

Well, to simplify things, let's go back to the basic functions
| Code: | LIST CREATE, 1
LIST CREATE, 2
LIST CREATE, 3
List loadtext,1
"C:\zzz\zzz\this & that - etc\aaa info and INFO - blaa blaa
"C:\zzz\zz MakeWDG backup\zzzz 1.7 - Strong\Directmodem\hhd udu dud d io2 w oow wok jjd d may28.wdg
"C:\zzz\zz MakeWDG backup\zzzz 1.7 - Strong\Directmodem\jhfidu hfiodsf jijd f ppek fpeN ewMaps.wdg
INFO RAW ENTRY: @item(1,0)@cr()PATH ONLY: @path(@item(1,0))@cr()NAME ONLY: @name(@item(1,0))@cr()EXT ONLY: @ext(@item(1,0))
INFO RAW ENTRY: @item(1,1)@cr()PATH ONLY: @path(@item(1,1))@cr()NAME ONLY: @name(@item(1,1))@cr()EXT ONLY: @ext(@item(1,1))
INFO RAW ENTRY: @item(1,2)@cr()PATH ONLY: @path(@item(1,2))@cr()NAME ONLY: @name(@item(1,2))@cr()EXT ONLY: @ext(@item(1,2))
:close
LIST CLOSE, 1
LIST CLOSE, 2
LIST CLOSE, 3
EXIT |
Using the above code works just fine.

Thanks Garrett,
I actually never used the 'LIST LOADTEXT' , I just put it here at the forum for easy illistration of my problem, but my program actaully loads the @items into the LIST(s) on the fly, are you saying your methoth will work with the below somehow, I've allways been lucky I guess, because I never used the 2nd number in the @item(1,?). lol
I just thought that was for cells - etc..
I need the below to somehow read as good as your INFO's did:
| Code: |
REPEAT
%%just_name_lengh = @NAME(@item(1))
%%length_just_name = @LEN(%%just_name_lengh)
IF @greater(%%length_just_name,%%amount)
Info JUST NAME "=" @NAME(@item(1))@CR()@CR()@item(1)
%%path_only = @PATH(@item(1))
%%name_only = @NAME(@item(1))
%%ext_only = @EXT(@item(1))
%%ext_only_plus_period = @CHR(46)""%%ext_only
%%full_filename = %%name_only""%%ext_only_plus_period
LIST APPEND,2,%%full_filename
LIST APPEND,3,%%path_only
IF @NOT(@equal(@item(1), ))
LIST delete,1
END
END
|
I guess I really only want the data to be placed into 2 different LIST somehow on the fly (and be dependible like your INFO's)
So your saying to use the same type of format? |

Sorry I dont jibberjabber good, but below is what I was wanting(least it what I got right now to use).
I was wanting to weed out the detections that had no file.extensions, below detects them so I can delete them from my new LIST.
I just wanted file names with extensions...
| Code: |
LIST CREATE, 1
List loadtext,1
"C:\zzz\zzz\this & that - etc\aaa info and INFO - blaa blaa
"C:\zzz\zz MakeWDG backup\zzzz 1.7 - Strong\Directmodem\hhd udu dud d io2 w oow wok jjd d may28.wdg
"C:\zzz\zz MakeWDG backup\zzzz 1.7 - Strong\Directmodem\jhfidu hfiodsf jijd f ppek fpeN ewMaps.wdg
REPEAT
IF @equal(@EXT(@ITEM(1)), ,EXACT)
info Bingo!@CR()@CR()@item(1)
END
LIST delete,1
UNTIL @equal(@count(1),0)
:close
LIST CLOSE, 1
EXIT
|
The above seems to do it, but this is just a work around, if you have a more trusty idea, please tell, thanks a bunch... I appreciate highly |

I only removed the looping code to get to the simple side of this to see if
you could use a different aspect on getting the info out of this. Using
@path(), @name() and @ext() seem to work fine on the example strings
you provided.
If the problem was in trying to sort out the path, name and extension, then
maybe try a different approach to the loop you had going. I didn't fully
follow it to see what was up, but it sure seemed like a lot of code for
something simple.

Well, I seem to allways not be able to do what I want to do with VDS5, maybe I'm trying to make it do more than expected out of it.
Most the time, all the @EXT @NAME @PATH etc works perfect, till I allmost get my program done, then it all falls apart(EXAMPLE: IF @unequal(%%detect_extension_period,@CHR(46)) periods are seen as 0 <zeros> and @EXT dont see anything, @PATH only gets about half the PATH etc etc etc lol) And I work and work till its all right, and decide to trash it all and start over with a less complex way(which makes me feel cheated - lol)
Oh well, I'm not really complaing that VDS5 is not good or cheap, its just I think I need something bigger maybe...
Thanks for the help - I got this project done ok. |
