What is a good way to set up a routine to select
a drive/directory/file tree that can be used to
import a file to gateway?
Joel,
Use the LoadDirectoryName or LoadFileName Plugins
to achieve that goal eloquently!
Here's how:
Example 01: (Using LoadDirectoryName Plugin)
SET VAR vFolderName TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vCaption TEXT = 'Select Directory/File'
LABEL GetFolderName
CLS
PLUGIN LoadDirectoryName.RBL vFolderName +
|TITLE Select Folder for Database Backup
IF vFolderName = '[Esc]' THEN
GOTO Done
ENDIF
IF vFolderName IS NULL THEN
PAUSE 2 USING 'Folder NOT Selected!' +
CAPTION .vCaption +
ICON STOP
GOTO GetFolderName
ENDIF
-- Do what you have to do here ...
LABEL Done
CLEAR VAR vFolderName, vCaption
RETURN
Running R:BASE Your Way! (Part 9) included with
Fall 2004 R:BASE Developers' Conference CD, includes
a complete routine to backup your database and more,
using the LoadDirectoryName Plugin!
You may modify the routine to achieve your goal to
automate the entire process.
Example 02: (Using LoadFileName Plugin)
