Getting very close.
If you're going to prefix the functions with "__" then you need to do
it everywhere.
return __caseSwitch(tStatus, ... etc
...and unfortunately BAT0 isn't a folder or a file... it's a symbolic
link, and LiveCode doesn't recognize it as an OS thing. Checking for
either a folder or a file will fail. What works for me is
default
-- Unix, thanks to Richard Gaskin, use-LC list
constant kBatteryStatus0 = "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status"
constant kBatteryStatus1 = "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status"
if there is a file (kBatteryStatus0) then
open file (kBatteryStatus0) for read
read from file (kBatteryStatus0) until eof
put it into tStatus
close file (kBatteryStatus0)
else if there is a file (kBatteryStatus1) then
open file (kBatteryStatus1) for read
read from file (kBatteryStatus1) until eof
put it into tStatus
close file (kBatteryStatus1)
else
return "AC"
-- no battery, must be running off external power
end if
put word 1 of tStatus into tStatus
if tStatus = empty then return empty
return
__caseSwitch(tStatus,"discharging=Battery","charging,unknown,full=AC","*=*")
-- if tStatus = empty, returns empty --
-- Unix users please test: should this return some value??
-- if tStatus is not in "discharging,charging,unknown,full" then
-- just returns whatever "/sys/class/power_supply/BATx" reports
end switch
