Odd Var Errors with script - Need Help

Post by Garlic_Butter » Thu Dec 14, 2006 8:08 pm

Working in MS v.8.1e - Eval Demo

Error: F Not Appropriate
With this script snippet:

Code: Select all

		VBEval>ExtractTag3("FORM",0,0),formname1
		VBEval>ExtractTag("INPUT",7,1),thetext1
		VBEval>ExtractTag2("INPUT",7,1),thename1
		VBEval>ExtractTag("INPUT",8,1),thetext2
		VBEval>ExtractTag2("INPUT",8,1),thename2
		If>%thetext1%=page.
			Let>FrameName={""}
			Let>FieldValue={"page"}
			Let>FieldName={"%thename1%"}
			Let>FormName={"%formname1%"}
		Else
			Let>FrameName={""}
			Let>FieldValue={"page"}
			Let>FieldName={"%thename2%"}
			Let>FormName={"%formname1%"}
		Endif
		LibFunc>hIE,FormFill,r,%IE[0]%,str:FrameName,str:FormName,str:FieldName,str:FieldValue,0

The 'F' is referring to the FieldName 'thename' 1 or 2 variables. The FieldName is an F with a few numbers after it, i.e. F4567.

If I switch FieldName and FormName variables around, I get the error: f Not Appropriate. The 'f' is referring to the FormName 'formname1' variables. The FormName is an f with a few numbers after it, i.e. f23.

If I remove the brackets and/or quotations, I get an Access Violation error.

From what I see through debug, the only errors I have are those 2.

Am I referring to the vars right? Is there a special way to refer to a string with letters and numbers, i.e. F4567, f234?

Here is a snippet from my log file:

12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - START: If>Hide Help=page.
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - END: Else
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - START: Let>FrameName={""}
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - END: Let>FrameName={""}
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - START: Let>FieldValue={"page"}
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - END: Let>FieldValue={"page"}
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - START: Let>FieldName={F88}
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - END: Let>FieldName={F88}
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - START: Let>FormName={f4}
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - END: Let>FormName={f4}
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - START: Endif
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - END: Endif
12/13/2006 21:43:36:828 - START: LibFunc>hIE,FormFill,r,%IE[0]%,str:FrameName,str:FormName,str:FieldName,str:FieldValue,0

It does an Access Violation with the above.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

A quick look results in these untested comments.

Delete the trailing period:
If>%thetext1%=page.

=========================
Also, may possibly need to remove { } and/or " " around variables with Let> command. Have not looked at full usage.

From:
Let>FrameName={""}
Let>FieldValue={"page"}
Let>FieldName={"%thename1%"}
Let>FormName={"%formname1%"}
Else
Let>FrameName={""}
Let>FieldValue={"page"}
Let>FieldName={"%thename2%"}
Let>FormName={"%formname1%"}
Endif

To:
Let>FrameName=
Let>FieldValue=%page%
Let>FieldName=%thename1%
Let>FormName=%formname1%
Else
Let>FrameName=
Let>FieldValue=%page%
Let>FieldName=%thename2%
Let>FormName=%formname1%
Endif

============================
I find it is usually only necessary to have the log show the commands BEFORE running the command, instead of both before and after, which is the default.

The trailing period needs to be there on that "page.".

On all the examples of the Let>s before the LibFunc cmd, they have the items in quotes. Why is that?
