Subscript Used With Non-array


Recommended Posts

I have a script that gets this error:

Line0:

$bkdate= $nt[1] & "/" & $nt[2] & "/" & $nt[0] &"at " &$nt[3] &":"& $nt[4] &":"& $nt[5]

$bkdate= $nt^ERROR

Error: Subscript used with non-Array Variable.

It used to work but I do not know what changed. Originaly I did not declare the variables, I added the DIM statments but it had no effect.

here is the script

; This program backups the speed shift data from the Win server to the city hall server

dim $nt[5][5]

dim $ot[5][5]

dim $file

dim $bkdate

dim $ndate

dim $odate

$nt = FileGetTime("d:\Speed shift data\schedule1.wcs", 0)

$ot = FileGetTime("\\city_hall\data\users\plceschd\isispeed\schedule1.wcs", 0)

$bkdate= $nt[1] & "/" & $nt[2] & "/" & $nt[0] &"at " &$nt[3] &":"& $nt[4] &":"& $nt[5]

If Not @error Then

$ndate = $nt[1] & $nt[2] & $nt[0] & $nt[3] & $nt[4] & $nt[5]

; MsgBox(0, "Creation Time of schedule1.wcs", $ndate )

EndIf

If Not @error Then

$odate = $ot[1] & $ot[2] & $ot[0] & $ot[3] & $ot[4] & $ot[5]

EndIf

If $ndate > $odate then

FileCopy("d:\Speed shift data\schedule1.wcs", "\\city_hall\data\users\plceschd\isispeed\schedule1.wcs",1)

EndIf

$results = $ndate - $odate

$file = FileOpen("d:\Speed shift data\backup log.txt", 1)

FileWriteLine($file, $bkdate & @LF)

;MsgBox(0, "Creation Time of schedule1.wcs", $Results )

$results = $ndate - $odate

;MsgBox(0, "Creation Time of schedule1.wcs", $Results )

You appear to be creating a multi-dimensional array, then trying to access it as if it were a single dimension array.

Try:

Dim $nt[5]

Dim $ot[5]

Also, arrays start at 0, not 1. The last element is size-1, not size. So in an array with 5 elements, the elements are 0 - 4, not 1 -5. That will need changed, also.

Ooops, I see that you are using FileGetTime, which creates its own array. You need to check to make sure FileGetTime returned correctly before you try to access the elements of the array. Also, its not necessary to Dim the array first since FileGetTime will create on for you.

Corrected array statement but it did not change anything. If i change the paths of the file to work on my local computer it works fine. it seems to be a problem with the file (schedule1.wcs). This file may be open when the script runs. What kind of problem does this create? Is there a better command to use when a file maybe in use at the time the script is run?
