Thanks
Matt.
The
variable %COUNTRIES% does not pass to a parm line; nor does %COUNTRY%.
But, I've noticed in our config file, we do not have a country test; but I
thought this was internal to Declude? Is this what I need to add to my
config? At one point we did have this in our config as we still have the
ALL_LIST.DAT file.
I want
to be able to detect multiple countries and pass that to our external
program. But as Scott mentioned, externals are ran before
filters.

Erik,
Flexibility is a nice thing, but this
isn't really practical to do for Declude without a major, major
rewrite.
The better approach would be to actually introduce the ability
to use operators and variables in custom filters so that the exact order
didn't matter. That would also be a rather involved new feature, but it
would seem more practical and would have a greater overall utility. I'm
sure if time wasn't an issue and there weren't more pressing things, they
would have leaped to provide this a long time ago.
As far as your
specific need, some of this could be written in _vbscript_ as an external test
in Declude. Note that %COUNTRIES% is definitely preferable to
%COUNTRYCHAIN% as the data used for %COUNTRIES% is updated more often if I am
not mistaken. The two letter country codes in standardized format are
also preferable for filtering. You can then combo a single test with the
others and probably have no concern about the order of tests that you can't
easily overcome.

It would be nice if there was a directive that forced the tests to run as
they are in the order of which the appear in the CONFIG file. I know this
may/would be a performance decrease but it would give end users control of
external tests.

I agree.
The archives may help but as I recall Scott [former of Declude] was
nebulous in what the order is. The only thing for sure was filters ran
last in the order listed in global.cfg listing - generally :)
Running in debug mode does confirm this.
