cancel error

[jackdaniels]

when i ccancel to load a page to web object it loads

http://cancel/

this is the code i have on button click :

File = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Locate File", _DesktopFolder, "All Files (*.*)|*.*|", "", "dat", false, false);
Web.LoadURL("Web1", File[1]);

[screwed over]

File = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Locate File", _DesktopFolder, "All Files (*.*)|*.*|", "", "dat", false, false);
if File ~= "CANCEL" then
    Web.LoadURL("Web1", File[1]);
end

that should fix it.

[jackdaniels]

File = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Locate File", _DesktopFolder, "All Files (*.*)|*.*|", "", "dat", false, false);
if File ~= "CANCEL" then
    Web.LoadURL("Web1", File[1]);
end

that should fix it.

that should fix it.

Shouldn't it be

Actually, the above examples are wrong, As in doing Dialog.FileBrowse and making the result variable "File". You are overriding a table, So doing File.DoesExsist, or anything else it would fail as you overrided a table created by AutoPlay Media Studio.

GOOD CATCH! I'm embarassed that I didn't pick up on it...

I always use bastardized hungarian notation for my vars.

cVariable = String/Text
tVariable = table
nVariable = number/integer
bVariable = Logical/boolean

Ultimately; I find it easier to follow later down the line in a complex script -- and I don't run the risk of doing exactly what you pointed out.

I do:

• sString
• fFunction
• bBoolean
• tTable

Etc.

[jackdaniels]

can u give me a better code than i have ? well i just want to load html and htm files...

Same Idea -- with one exception -- for my functions (I'd say better than 90% of them) I "integrate" them into existing objects or create new ones.

For instance, I have a function that returns just the filename ("file.ext") of a full path name (c:\program files\appdir\file.exe) -- that is called:

File.NameOnly()

that, I think, makes it very obvious; for new things; I just create the object itself.

can u give an example of

File.Nameonly()

?

[jassing]

can u give an example of

File.Nameonly()

?

function File.NameOnly( cFile )
  local tFile = String.SplitPath( cFile );
  return tFile.Filename .. tFile.Extension;
end

[ShadowUK]

Or then again :P

01 function File.GetName(sFile) 
02 	return String.SplitPath(sFile).Filename..String.SplitPath(sFile).Extension 
03 end

And if you really want to take it out all the way... you may include one of these versions of the function into a .lua file say .. called constants.lua and then drag-n-drop it onto the default page, for example, in your AMS project. Then the constants you have in that file are accessible throughout the entire project.
