Basic Function Help

[Guest rjr789]

Hello,

I have been using v2.64 for a while to automate router configs. I have just starting using v3 and I have a few questions.

Here is a v3 script to sh run on my routers:

For $router = 1 to 12

If $router = 8 Then ContinueLoop

Run(@ComSpec & " /c cmd")

Sleep (1000)

Send ('telnet 10.10.' & $router & '.1{ENTER}')

Sleep (3000)

Send ( 'pass{ENTER}' )

Sleep ( 1000 )

Send ( 'sh ver{ENTER}' )

Sleep ( 3000 )

Next

The above code works fine for one command. I have also used it for other commands besides the running config. I would like to run another command sometimes depending on the outcome of the first for loop.

1. Should I create a function which would contain the code between the Run and last Sleep command above and then create another function that would do a dependent command on the outcome once the for loop has ended?

2. For example --> Func router ( ) - I have seen examples in the forum where the space between the parentheses are blank for user functions and then sometimes they have a value or variable enclosed. What is the significance of the parentheses value (if any)?

I know these are basic programming questions.

Thanks for the help!

I'm pretty sure autoit can't read cmd boxes (correct me if i'm wrong developers).

On other note, your script would be better with runwait.
