Hello,
I have nearly got the script running the way I want however it seems to have a small issue which I can not work out.
Note alot of mouse moves as the tab order for the program is all over the place.
The main part of the script works fine, however the issue lay's in
If>%ConfNum%=%CompSiteId%,NoSiteID,Finish
The details are being placed in the var ok, however if %ConfNum%=%CompSiteId% equals the same value It should move to the label Finish, however if they do not equal the same value it should move to NoSiteID.
This is not happening. What is happening is that both are moving to NoSiteId.
Please Help

Help With Script Returning Wrong Var
Last edited by CyberCitizen on Sat Feb 19, 2005 3:16 am, edited 1 time in total.
This just means that ConfNum and CompSiteId are never equal - despite you thinking that they are. Enable the watch list with Debug/Show Watch List and then step through with the debugger to see the actual values. Or do this prior to the If line:
MessageModal>|%ConfNum%|%CompSiteId%|
This will allow you to compare them. If necessary check their length also - possibly one has an invisible char in it as a result of grabbing it from the clipboard.

Thats Just It, I Have Already Tried The Msg Box & Confirmed That Both Numbers Do Equal In Most Cases.This just means that ConfNum and CompSiteId are never equal
Thought About That 2 However The System It's Self Can Not Contain Spaces Or Invisable Char.possibly one has an invisible char
Attempted That However The Debugger Does Not Work Correctly For The System As It Has Trouble Going Back To The Required System & Thefore Attempts To Run The Script While In The Macro Editor.Enable the watch list with Debug/Show Watch List and then step through with the debugger to see the actual values
Any Help Please?
Thanks For Any Help!

Re: Help With Script Returning Wrong Var
What am I missing? If the expression is true the first statement is executed. So if %ConfNum% does equal %CompSiteId% then it will go to NoSiteID, not Finish. I think you wantCyberCitizen wrote:The main part of the script works fine, however the issue lay's in

Sorry My Mistake In What I Typed. It Should Be That If The %ConfNum% And %CompSiteId% Equal The Same. Then It Moves To NoSiteID. Because What We Want To See Is That They Do Not Equal.
However If They Do Not Equal Then It Should Go To The Finish Process.
What Seems To Be Happening Is They Both Go To The Finish Process, If They Equal Or Not.

I'm not following you. Your logic is correct. Nothing wrong with it. If it is not going to the place you expect then clearly the values are not what you think they are.

I Have Tripple Checked Them. I Have Also Called A Msg Box To Check The Values Before The Scrip & After The Script On Both Occations.support wrote:I'm not following you. Your logic is correct.

When The Values Equal It Goes To The Label Finish. When They Do Not Equal They Go To Finish As Well.
Have I Got The If Command Correct?
Apart From That I Cant See Anything Wrong With The Script.
Here Is A Quick One Which I Cant Seem To Get To Work. Maybe I'm Missing Something. I Have Spent To Long On This Script Already.
Let>a=test1
Let>b=test1
If>a=b,Correct,Incorrect
Label>Correct
Msg>Correct
Label>Incorrect
Msg>Incorrect
If>a=b,Correct,Incorrect <-- Doesn't Matter If Its Correct Or Not It Will Always Return The Incorrect Value?

You are continuing from Correct right through Incorrect. Need to branch out. These are not subroutines. They will continue to the next line of script. See my changes
If you change to MessageModal, you will see that you are actually getting both MSG messages, but the last one overwrites the first one.a=test1
Let>b=test1
If>a=b,Correct,Incorrect
Label>Correct
Msg>Correct
GoTo>End
Label>Incorrect
Msg>Incorrect
Label>End
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
Bob

Bob,
Thanks for your reply. I made the change to the little script & that worked.
However I already had a Goto>End setup on my main script. Any ideas as to why that is not working?

I went to your original code, stripped out all lines but those related to the IF> issue. I hard coded the values, and everything works OK. When values are different it branches to Finish. If I change the values to match, the branch changes to NoSiteID.
A few comments to help you troubleshoot this:
1. There is no command MsgBox in Macro Scheduler. And this one would not run anyway if it was valid, because your IF> command has paths to follow for True and False, line would be skipped.
2. Throw in a MessageModal> after you do each of the CTL-c, Get Clipboard, like this:
3. It has alrady been suggested that you should turn on the WatchList and single step through looking at the values. If you do this you will also see the values you are comparing.
4. I suspect that CTL-c may not be working properly for you. Some programs are case sensitive, try CTL-C instead.
5. Also try commenting out all lines that do not affect the IF> test that is failing. I physically removed them, but they should have no affect, except the CTL-c commands you need vs. my hard-coded values.
Code: Select all
Let>ConfNum=56
Let>CompSiteId=67
If>%ConfNum%=%CompSiteId%,NoSiteID,Finish
MsgBox>Errored At Confirming Conf & Site ID
Goto>End
Label>Finish
Message>Finished
Goto>End
Label>NoSiteID
Message>NoSiteID
Goto>End
Label>End

Hey Guys Thanks For All The Help.
I Have Sorted The Problem.
What Was Happening Is That The Computer Was Running Quite Slow & When It Was Copying The Fields & Then Entering Them As Var, It Would Cause A Small Delay.
This Then Resulting In The ConfNum And CompSiteId Not Being The Same When Checking.
Therefore The Script Would Then Say Did Not Match Goto Finish.
Because The Data It Was Storing In The Clipboard Was Still The ESN & The ESN Will Never Match The Conf It Would Always Goto Finish.
After Putting A Couple Of Wait Commands In The Script It Allowed Enough Time For The Details To Be Copied Into The Clipboard & Then Written As A Var.
Again Thanks For All Your Help.
