Send a script to another stack with parameter

Post by cbarbal » Thu Nov 08, 2018 7:16 pm

Hi all,

How can I put quotation marks inside other quotes.

Code: Select all

 send "showFinques "Search"" to cd "Finques" of stack "Lloguers"
Thanks in advance

From the dictionary under quote:
Use the quote constant to embed quotes in a string, and to refer to quotes in a script. You must use this constant because if you use the quote character itself, it is treated as the beginning or end of a literal string and causes an execution error.

This should work:

Code: Select all

send ("showFinques" & SPACE & QUOTE & "Search" & QUOTE) to cd "Finques" of stack "Lloguers"

Hola Carles,

not sure, but I think this will even work without quotes:

Code: Select all

...
send "showFinques Search" to cd "Finques" of stack "Lloguers"
...
If not, this works in any case:

Code: Select all

...
put "Search" into tParam
send "showFinques tParam" to cd "Finques" of stack "Lloguers"
...
Or just use:

Code: Select all

...
dispatch "showFinques" to cd "Finques" of stack "Lloguers" with "Search"
...
Best

Klaus

The explample of ClipArtGuy and the three of Klaus work perfectly. I can only decide for one, but I know that it can be done in several ways

Now I will have the issue of exporting as Exel and various impressions. :D

Thanks to both of you

Carles
