The way eValid has of incorporating data parametrically is neat and we like how it works, but is there any other way to feed parametric data into a parametric script file?
Thank you much!
Thanks for asking LydiaC.
Yes, there are ways to feed data in that also take advantage of the parametric macro-substitution feature.
You might look at this method, which we call "value extraction," described here:
http://www.e-valid.com/Products/Documen ... tract.html As you can see, if you have a file like this:
$VAL1=100 $VAL2=200 $VAL3=300 ...
$VAL1=101 $VAL2=201 $VAL3=301 ...
$VAL1=102 $VAL2=202 $VAL3=302 ...
$VAL1=103 $VAL2=203 $VAL3=303 ...
At some point in your script you want to copy in the entire line then you simply tell your script to do this with the command
!file|number
where file is the name of the file and number is the line number in the file. If you type in:
...!file!2
you will get line 2, that is:
$VAL1=101 $VAL2=201 $VAL3=301 ...
