I would appreciate some help with the arguments for a Plugin. I am trying
to use the GetFileExt plugin, (PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|vfile) but find
that the only way that I can get this to work is to enclose the filename
in quotes. If I set a variable to the filename and use that I get a null
returned. I tried all possible combinations I could think of as below. (I
note that the SET VAR vFileExt = .. is not in my code, but is presumably
from the Plugin.)
John,
Try the following two ver simple examples and see what you get.
-- Example 01 (Using GetFileExt Plugin in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5)
-- Using File Name and Extension as Given Parameter
SET VAR vFileExt TEXT = NULL
PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|MyRBASE.txt
PAUSE 2 USING .vFileExt +
CAPTION 'Using GetFileExt PLugin' ICON INFO +
OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Tahoma +
|MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR GREEN +
|MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 11 +
|THEMENAME Longhorn
RETURN
-- Example 02 (Using GetFileExt Plugin in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5)
-- Using File Name and Extension as Concatenated String
SET VAR vFileExt TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vFileName TEXT = 'MyRBASE.txt'
SET VAR vCommand TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vCommand = ('PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|'+.vFileName)
&vCommand
PAUSE 2 USING .vFileExt +
CAPTION 'Using GetFileExt PLugin' ICON INFO +
OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Tahoma +
|MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR GREEN +
|MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 11 +
|THEMENAME Longhorn
RETURN
Both examples should provide with the correct technique and syntax
to use GetFileExt Plugin in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
