| Gday.
I need some help with the following, i cant figure out what my error is.....
I have an alias that sends info to a script:
ALIAS: speedwalk-*
SEND: %1
LABEL: Speed
(SENDS TO SCRIPT) SCRIPT: QueryAlias
But whenever i fire it, it tells me:
Scripting error, Execution of line 1 column 1
Type mismatch: 'bazaar'
Line in error:
But then continues to work perfectly and put up the right speedwalk from the database i have
Database looks like:
Table name:T_Area
Table:
_____________________________________
|ID| areaID | Dirs | Notes | StartCity|
|--|--------|------|-------|----------|
My Script is a modified version of your script, Nick, which I've been using to connect to a speedwalk direction database, this is all the stuff I have:
function GetDatabaseFileName
GetDatabaseFileName = "c:\ishnaf\sped\db1.mdb"
end function
function GetProvider
GetProvider = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & _
GetDatabaseFileName & _
";" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5;"
end function
Function DoSQL (sSQL)
dim db
DoSQL = vbTrue ' error return
On Error Resume Next
Set db = CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ShowError Err.Description
Exit Function
End If
' Open the connection
db.Open GetProvider
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ShowError Err.Description
Set db = Nothing
Exit Function
End If
' Execute it
db.Execute sSQL
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ShowError Err.Description
Set db = Nothing
Exit Function
End If
On Error GoTo 0
' Wrap up
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
DoSQL = vbFalse ' OK return
end Function
' Since we are doing queries in a few places, we will do the main
' part here ...
' A "true" result means the query failed.
' A "false" (zero) result means the query succeeded
'
Function ExecuteQuery (db, rst, sQuery)
ExecuteQuery = vbTrue ' assume bad result
On Error Resume Next
Set db = CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ShowError Err.Description
Exit Function
End If
Set rst = CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ShowError Err.Description
set db = Nothing
Exit Function
End If
' Open the connection
db.Open GetProvider
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ShowError Err.Description
Set rst = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Exit Function
End If
' Open the Recordset
rst.Open sQuery, db
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ShowError Err.Description
Set rst = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Exit Function
End If
On Error GoTo 0
ExecuteQuery = vbFalse ' good result
End Function
' Do some arbitrary query, display the results
'
sub DoQuery (sQuery)
dim db, rst, count, fld
if ExecuteQuery (db, rst, sQuery) Then Exit Sub
count = 0
' display each record
world.colourtell "red", "black", "Search Results: "
world.note ""
world.note ""
Do Until rst.EOF
' display each field name
For Each fld In rst.Fields
if fld.value <> "0" then
if fld.Name = "ItemType" then
world.colourTell "white", "darkblue", _
"Itemtype:"
world.colourTell "white", "black", " " & fld.value
world.note "" 'newline
else
world.ColourTell "white", "darkblue", _
fld.Name & chr(9) & ":"
world.colourTell "white", "black", " " & fld.value
world.note "" ' newline
end if
end if
Next
world.note "" ' newline
rst.MoveNext
Loop
db.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
world.note count & " record(s)"
end sub
sub QueryAlias (sName, sLine, wildcards)
dim SQL
SQL = "SELECT * FROM T_Area WHERE AreaID='" & wildcards(1) &"'"
Speedwalk SQL
end sub
sub Speedwalk (sQuery)
dim db, rst, count, fld
if ExecuteQuery (db, rst, sQuery) Then Exit Sub
' display each record
'MY BIT THAT I ADDED:
dim dirs
dirs = rst("dirs") 'get the directions
world.note dirs 'check it comes out (testing phase only)
world.note world.EvaluateSpeedwalk (dirs) 'speedwalk there
db.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
end sub
Hopefully, when its working, ill upload the script to the plugins coz i think it will be pretty useful!
Thanks ppl

| I think your confusion here is because if you have a script name in the "script" box you don't also need to "send to script".
"Send to script" is where the stuff in the send box is sent to the script engine, not where you call a script in the script file.
So, say you typed "speedwalk-shop" then it would send the word "shop" to the VBscript engine, which gives you the syntax error, and then calls the QueryAlias script (because you asked it to do that as well) which succeeds in doing what you want.
Just leave the send box blank (remove the %1). Then it doesn't matter where the "send to" is, but it may as well be the default "send to world". |
