Mike,
I downloaded and built the 02-13-2003 source. It fixed the regex fucntion problem but
I still can't get it to work entirely.
The first regex call is to get the datasetName. Here is how I construct it in Helper
dialog.
RegEx: value="(.*)" onChange="javasrcipt:validateDatasetName
Tempalte: $1$
Which match: 1
Between text:
Default text:
name of Function: datasetName
generates this function call:
${__regexFunction(%22%28.*%29%22+onChange%3D%22javasrcipt%3AvalidateDatasetName,%241%24,1,,,datasetName)}
>From this piece of html text:
<input type="text" name="datasetName" class="formcontrol"
onChange="javascript:setDirty()"
value="Northwind3" onChange="javasrcipt:validateDatasetName()">
we get in the datasetName.
Northwind3
This works as expected.
The next regex for getting the dataset id is:
RegEx: '(.*)','\$\{datasetName\}'\)">Delete
Tempalte: $1$
Which match: 1
Between text:
Default text:
name of Function: datasetid
Generates this function call:
${__regexFunction(%27%28.*%29%27%2C%27%5C%24%5C%7BdatasetName%5C%7D%5C%29%22%3EDelete,%241%24,1,,,datasetid)}
>From this piece of text:
<a
href="javascript:delDataset('0a0a48ce00bb9829000000f348febce48004','Northwind3')">Delete</a>
we get:
0a0a48ce00bb9829000000f348febce48004
This gets correctly substituted into HTTP request 'id' parameter first time:
http://localhost:80/metadata/action/selectDataset?id=7f00000100f81402000000f35493ea2c8004
After this request I have another request without any parameters and then I have a
request for delete.
The delete request uses ${datasetid} the second time but it does NOT get substituted.
I get this url.
http://localhost:80/metadata/action/deleteDataset?id=${datasetid}
Any ideas? Looks like the 'datasetid' variable is lost. Should it persist through
the entire session?
Thanks,
Swavek

The problem is, the function syntax is not parsed in a recursive manner, and
embedding a function as the parameter to another function is not possible right
now.
However, if you grab the latest code from CVS, you can use the new regex
Extractor, which will work as you desire (I just verified being able to do exactly
what
you described below).
And, FYI, functions are multi-thread aware, and would keep values separate on a
per thread basis.
