FTPGetFile with variables

Liberty · Post by **Liberty** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 12:07 pm

I have started to use FTPGetFile.
It works fine when I give the complete parameter line.

But when I use a variable for the parameter line it does not work at all.

What shall I do to use variable(s)??

(In my case I want to build the fieldnames in the program, while the filenames vary from time to time)

Thank you

It does work with variables, can you post your FTPGetFile code (change the user/password) that isn't working?

Let>ftpdata=ftpsample
FTPGetFile>ftpdata

where ftpsample is a complete parameter line (char), which works in itself.

Thank you.

I did not get any answer to my question so I have to reply myself.

As I concluded it is not possible to store the complete parameter line as a variable and then make changes to this variable and use the FTPGetFile command again in a repeat loop.

However I found after trying that it is possible to use variables within a specific parameter in the line. E. g. its is possible in this way to change some part of the filename by using a string variable.

Agreed, it appears that each parameter has to be a separate variable.
