lhk69 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Why in the world wont this work. The _ArrayDisplay. It dosent seem to work when I use a variable - in this case - $foldername. I am looping the elements in the array "$items" to process the items WITHIN those names. The loop works if I hardcode each element of $items in the for/next loop. But not when I loop through the elements of $items and call them and assign to $foldername. The messagebox HAS the correct information. Help please? Thanks in advance. I feel stupid. Global $cRootShareDirs[1] = ["DFSRoot"] Global $fRootShareDirs[2] = ["SCCM","SMSPKGSIG"] Global $gRootShareDirs[6] = ["Openshare","QuotaReports","Temporary","COR-CC-Media","USMT", $SiteCode & "_Sensitive1"] Global $rRootShareDirs[1] = ["ORbackup"] Global $OpenShareDirs[5] = ["Applications","GlobalShare","InfoShare","Personal","Teams"] Global $QuotaReportsDirs[3] = ["OnDemand","Scheduled","Incident"] Global $ORbackupDirs[3] = ["FSRM_Backup","Printer_Backup","DHCP_Backup"] Global $Items[7] = ["$cRootShareDirs","$fRootShareDirs","$gRootShareDirs","$rRootShareDirs","$OpenShareDirs","$QuotaReportsDirs","$ORbackupDirs"] $UpperLimit1 = UBound($Items,1) -1 For $LineNumber = 0 To $UpperLimit1 $FolderName = $Items[$LineNumber] MsgBox(0,"debug", "Element = " & $LineNumber & " is " & $FolderName) _ArrayDisplay ( $FolderName ) Next
BrewManNH Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I'm thinking the name of the function might be an indicator to you why this won't work. You're trying to send _ArrayDisplay a string and expecting it to display it? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

lhk69 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah, good call. But that string IS the name of an array. Should I be doing this some other way? Thanks - by the way.
BrewManNH Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Try it this way: #include <_Array.au3> Global $SiteCode = 1 ; <<<<<<<<<<<<< just added to remove the error message when running it Global $cRootShareDirs[1] = ["DFSRoot"] Global $fRootShareDirs[2] = ["SCCM","SMSPKGSIG"] Global $gRootShareDirs[6] = ["Openshare","QuotaReports","Temporary","COR-CC-Media","USMT", $SiteCode & "_Sensitive1"] Global $rRootShareDirs[1] = ["ORbackup"] Global $OpenShareDirs[5] = ["Applications","GlobalShare","InfoShare","Personal","Teams"] Global $QuotaReportsDirs[3] = ["OnDemand","Scheduled","Incident"] Global $ORbackupDirs[3] = ["FSRM_Backup","Printer_Backup","DHCP_Backup"] Global $Items[7] =[$cRootShareDirs,$fRootShareDirs,$gRootShareDirs,$rRootShareDirs,$OpenShareDirs,$QuotaReportsDirs,$ORbackupDirs] ; <<<<<<<<< no quotes $UpperLimit1 = UBound($Items,1) -1 For $LineNumber = 0 To $UpperLimit1 $FolderName = $Items[$LineNumber] MsgBox(0,"debug", "Element = " & $LineNumber & " is " & $FolderName) _ArrayDisplay ( $FolderName ) Next If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
