[RBASE-L] - Re: Passing a variable from Rbase

[Mikeb]

yeah... I just typed it into the email without doing it in RBase and I 
missed that.  Just delete that first line.

My guess is line one $host = '

Try $host = ' '

Your code works just like I want to except when I run it, it gives me the
following error

Running C:\Rbase9.1EmailWork\scriptname.ftp
***** Script error on line 7, column 1: EOF expected


^
If I edit the scriptname.ftp file, put a blank line and save, then launch
scriptname.ftp it works
Is it looking for a carriage return or what?

{ You will have to employ whatever collection method you
  use to set the variables for user/pass...
}

Set var vWrite text = null
Set var vMyUser text = (CVAL('User'))
Set var vPass text = '123456'
Set var vFtpHost text = 'ftp.myhost.com'

output scriptname.ftp

$host = '
set var vWrite = '$host="ftp.myhost.com"'
Write .vWrite
set var vWrite = '$user="' + .vMyUser +'"'
Write .vWrite
set var vWrite = '$password="123456"'
Write .vWrite

set var vWrite = 'OPENHOST($host,$user,$password)'
Write .vWrite
set var vWrite = 'PUTFILE("*.*",SUBDIRS)'

Write .vWrite

Output Screen

launch scriptname.ftp

Can you give me an example of a write statement?

Simple enough then.  Create your ScripName.ftp file dynamically in RBase
and
write the command lines as needed, collecting whatever RBase variable is
needed into a write statement.
When complete, then launch as you do now.

Here is an example of the script
To run from Rbase I    launch scriptname.ftp
the help files say you can create variables with the $
like  $ftpname="ftp.myftp.com" and could do this
OPENHOST($ftpname,etc,)

# Remember to save the changes before clicking run on the ScriptFTP
window.

# Connect to FTP server
OPENHOST("ftp.myftp.com","myuserid","mypassword")

# Download the new or modified asc files from the FTP site
SYNC("C:\myfolder","/mainfolder/ftpfolder",DOWNLOAD,"*.asc")

# Transfer finished, close the connection
CLOSEHOST

OK.. I get that there are command scripts the are executed toward the 
FTP
program, but:

What is the environment in which the commands (OPENHOST / PUTFILE) are
run?
Command Prompt? Or does the FTP program host its own scripting
environment
like the R> in RBase.

Can a variable be passed from Rbase to another program that can use
variables.
EG
I found an FTP program that I can integrate into Rbase,  this program
can
use
variables

In Rbase
set variable in Rbase-  set var vFTPHost text = 'My host name'

I know in Rbase the variable will be .vFTPHost but in the FTP program 
a
variable
is defined with $variablename
Can this be done
