Simple scripting question

Gabriel wrote on Apr 13, 2009

Hi,

I've written a procedure script which uses the 'fields' task. I can't make it stop asking me to confirm the lines to be extracted. This is how the 'fields' parameters are set:

fields.mode = 'hl'
fields.files = 'file1'
fields.fields = "1-2"
fields.lines = "1-5"
fields ('file2')

Every time I'm required to confirm the "lines" parameter, even though it's already in the parameters.
It's a minor problem, but I'd really like to fix it, so the script won't stop and wait for confirmation.

Thanks!

Gabriel

I think you mean it keeps prompting you for the 'fields' param?? If so, you can make this one parameter hidden by adding the line

fields.fields.p_mode="h"

Or else just supply the param when you make the call, e.g.

fields ("file2", "1-2")

Yes, I meant the "fields" param.

Thanks Mike!
