icon7.gif   elog perl script and the command prompt and eof, posted by Arno Teunisse on Thu Sep 7 22:06:00 2006 add2elog.pl
hello

Just wrote a quick and dirty perl script ( See Attachment ) that let's you enter a record into the database. Put it into the directory where the config file is located. It look's at the "attributes = " and the "required attributes = "
within a section in the elog configuration file. The script is using elog.exe to accomplish this.

One problem with the script is that you must press Control_Z ( ^Z ) to store the data into the database.
Does anybody know how to prevent this ? It works also when redirecting the data into the script with a file input.txt. ( add2elog.pl confgi.cfg logbook < input.txt )

I Know this is NOT an elog question but maybe someone is happy with the script and has the answer for me.

Well, what we use for such kind of check lists is the following:

Use Preset test = file.txt where file.txt contains exactly the ASCII code you mentioned, like
[ job done]  [ customer ] [ activity ] [ What should be done ]
[]            BLA          Check job1   Backup mail check
[]            BLA1         Check job2   check error report
[]            Bla2         Check job3   check MQ jobs

So one can put the "X" in the "[]" manually. I know, the individual lines are no real elog attributes, but it works nicely for some check lists. Drawback might be that a use can edit the whole text, but sometimes I find that's even a plus, since the user might add some comments.

Ok, has been fixed. Will come in 2.0.5

The documentation was wrong about that which has been corrected. The proper 
file contents should be

<h1>You successfully submitted a message</h1>
<a href="?cmd=Back">Back</a> to the logbook<p>
<a href="?cmd=New">Enter</a> another message

This way one only needs one file for all logbooks.
