Hello,

I have trouble when calling my origin scripts.

I have several scripts that run fine, when I place the code directly in customs.ogs, but when I place the script in a seperate file "MyScript.ogs" and run it with
run MyScript.ogs

I get a different behavior.

For example
customs.ogs
int firstResultColumn = 6;
col($(firstResultColumn))[L]$ = "Cycle";


creates a new colums at index 6 (Column(F)) and changes the longname to "Cycle"

When I change to:
customs.ogs
run MyScript.ogs;


MyScript.ogs
int firstResultColumn = 6;
col($(firstResultColumn))[L]$ = "Cycle";


Everytime I run the script a new column is created with the longname "cycle" and not at index 6. If I enter the column index directly it works everytime, but since I have several instances where I need dynamic column creation and manipulating this is no possibility.

It feels like I'm missing some referencing, or something. Sadly I can not find a description of my problem.

Can somebody guide me in the right direction?

Best regards,
SFackler

If you are using index, better use wcol(firstResultColumn)[L]$, can you try?

with wcol I'm getting no response, when placed in the script I try to call. I placed a message box in the code, which gets executed. When I place the code in customs.ogs it runs well.

To emphasis my problem: I can get code running in the customs.ogs script when hitting the icon. But if I move the code to another file and run this file from customs.ogs with the icon, the code seems to work somewhat different.

not working
customs.ogs
run MyScript.ogs


MyScript.ogs
int firstResultColumn = 6;
wcol($(firstResultColumn))[L]$ = "Cycle";
type -b "hello";


working:
customs.ogs
int firstResultColumn = 6;
wcol($(firstResultColumn))[L]$ = "Cycle";
type -b "hello";


I tried:
manually creating the columns before executing -> no change
referencing with $() and without -> no change

Hi,

For whatever reason (not sure at all), the `int` from `int firstResultColumn = 6` is problematic.

Do this.

MyScript.ogs:

int firstResultColumn = 6;
wcol(firstResultColumn)[L]$ = "Cycle";
type -b "hello";


Custom.ogs:

run.file(MyScript.ogs)


I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Chris Drozdowski

Yes, use run.section, or run.file, don't use "run file", as that will run the file line by line instead of as a whole, so your line that set int value is not visible on the next line.

Hello,

the command run.section() does work, the command run.file() does not seem to execute the script. The run.section() command works fine to me. just a short feedback on the toppic.

works:
customs.ogs
run.section(MyScript,test);


MyScript.ogs
[test]
int firstResultColumn = 6;
wcol($(firstResultColumn))[L]$ = "Cycle";
type -b "hello";


does not work
customs.ogs
run.file(MyScript);


MyScript.ogs
[test]
int firstResultColumn = 6;
wcol($(firstResultColumn))[L]$ = "Cycle";
type -b "hello";


I've tried specifying the path, adding the ogs extension with run.file() and changing the section in MyScript to [Main], but with no result.

I'll work with the run.section() command in the future.

Many thanks,
SFackler

The reason run.file didnt work was because you added a redundant [test] on top of your code. run.file does not need it as it will just run the whole file.

Also, you should do
wcol(firstResultColumn)


no need to do
wcol($(firstResultColumn))
when using the wcol function.
