Series of numbers: Simple For You - Hard for me

[DarkPinK]

Hi,

I want to set up part of a script to identify if there is a number bigger than a previous number. Then I want to automatically update the scritpt with this number so that the next time it runs, it will look for an even larger number.

Note: These numbers are also HTML links to orders and I would like to open the number in a web browser once it is established

The numbers are set up like this (in a list)


1405
1452
1497
1507
1510

I want to find a the first number larger than 1507, update the script so that the next time it looks for a number larger that 1510, and then open 1507 (it is an html link) in my browser.

Thanks in Advance,
DP

Hi DP,
I've done something like this to get an automated setting of additional filter criterias to a script (maybe I'm totally wrong about the issue).

In the source script I've set a marker (e.g. "§") in the line I wanted to change. So a "change script" parsed the source script, piped every nonmatching line unchanged to a temp script, changed variable at the marked line if found (marked it again), piped it as well and so on till ##EOF##
Deleted the source script. Renamed the temp script to get the new source script.

But why you're not using the simple (smart option) of an INI-File ???

Code: Select all

ReadIniFile>C:\Order.ini,OrderManagement,LastOrder,PreviouslyUsedOrderNumber

Let>ln=0

Label>ReadList
Add>ln,1
ReadLN>C:\List.txt, ln, OrderNumber
If>OrderNumber=##EOF##,End
If>OrderNumber>PreviouslyUsedOrderNumber, KeepOrderNum
Goto>ReadList

Label>KeepOrderNum
EditIniFile>C:\Order.ini,OrderManagement,LastOrder,%OrderNumber%
...

Label>End
