[foxboro] Scripting information (was: Dedit and Where Used report on I/A 7.1 and 8.2)

For those interested in learning about scripting there are many, many
resources and nearly as many shells to use.

In general, I find the O'reilly books to be very useful. www.orielly.com
These three provide the basics:

Classic Shell Scripting By Arnold Robbins, Nelson H.F. Beebe
This is a good place to start.
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/shellsrptg


Unix in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition By Arnold Robbins
This will help you understand the tools available. Shells and scripts
are good, but you need tools, too.
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixnut4


sed & awk, Second Edition By Dale Dougherty, Arnold Robbins
sed & awk describes two text manipulation programs that are mainstays of
the UNIX programmer's toolbox.
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sed2

Once you learn these, you can look into the many other interpreters "out
there."

Off list, I'll send you my script template. I try to use it for all my
scripts since it adds debug logging and setups several useful macros. It
may be a bit much to digest initially, but I think it's useful.

Thank you Patrick.
        I'm very newbie in this Foxboro World, and I feel very glad that
I=3D3DB4m
not alone!.


How can I identify this corrupted display files?
How can I fix it?

About scripts...
When we talk about shell, we are talking about ms command window or XP
=3D3D
MKS?
Can anyone give me a script example for this?

        I'm sure that I will need a lot help at the beginning but I
really
want to help as I can.

David,

Can't give you much help apart from the fact that I can confirm that on
windows machines (in our case terminal server I/A 8.2) I could not =3D3D
manage to
get the -wuout argument to work while the exact same command does work
=3D3D
on
sun (AW51E I/A 6.3).
I created a shell script which calls dedit and then moves the file to
=3D3D
the
desired directory (as would have been specified with the -wuout =3D3D
argument.

Also we had crashes of dedit in the past but were always able to =3D3D
pinpoint
this to a corrupted display file or a display which contained 'off =3D3D
screen
elements'.

Normally it's very robust. In our case it runs on a daily base to =3D3D
retrieve
all display linking on hundreds of displays.

Kind regards,

Patrick Martens

Dear List:
=3D3D09
        I'm trying to use the Dedit "where used" report. It give me two
problems:

*.- The -wuout argument seems to not work. It always generate a file in
=3D3D
the
same dir where I am. (when It works...).
*.- Some times (apparently it depends on the display) the application
crashes and send me the message: "DE MFC Application has encountered a
problem and..."=3D3D09

        I have tested it on AW P92 I/A 7.1 and I/A 8.2

Help please.
