What comes out with my simple echo or gawk line is "+ + " so it looks like the attributes are not getting passed into the $shell code?


The reason is that the substitutions get evaluated from left to right, so first the shell is called with $Risk1, and because the shell by itself does a subsitution and $Risk1 is not defined on the unix system, the shell returns an empty string, leading to "+ +" as the result.

I changed that in the current SVN version, so we have first the attribute substitions, then then shell substitution. The "echo $Risk1..." will of course not work, since it gets substituted by elog as "echo 12 + 23 + 45" (or whatever the numbers are), and the "echo" will just return these numbers without adding them. To make the shell to add things, you would need to define the risks as environment variables for the shell, so I guess the "gawk" method will work better for you. I tried it and it worked fine for me.

This item is already on the wishlist, so I added your vote there. But due to my workload, it will certainly not be implemented in the next few weeks.

I fixed that in the current SVN version.

This may sound a little strange but I am trying to determine if it is possible to create a series of attributes that may be assigned an integer value via OPTIONS, and then take the selected values and perform some simple math and display the result. For example:

What we are trying to do is create a simple form that helps a person assign a risk value to a series of identified risks

Attributes = risk1, risk2, risk3, totalrisk
Type risk1 = numeric
Type risk2 = numeric
Type risk3 = numeric

OPtions risk1 = 10, 20, 30
Options risk2 = 10, 20 , 30
OPtions risk3 = 10, 20 , 30

Subst totalrisk = $risk1+$risk2+$risk3

I suppose I could use $shell to do this but I was trying to stay away from $shell for security reasons.

Thanks

BTW, Stefan, unless you can make the most recent version of a Windows eLog available I cannot test the most recent -- I do not have access to a Windows development environment. Solaris-Yes, Linux-Yes, Windoze-No.


There is a 2.6.1-4 version for Windows for download, which contains the most recent code.

I'm pretty busy these days, since we have a deadline on April 18th. I started already working weekends, so not much time is left for ELOG. But I hope it will get better by the end of this month.


I fully understand and appreciate your response!
