Unexpected result from InetMatchName #13588 Posted by: DougA 2012-03-23 23:06:30 | Wrote some code to extract a file from a unix host, the file may or may not exist. So used the InetMatchName with the "ONE" option to check it's existance. However, when the file doesn't exist, InetMatchName still returns a null value, and sets some of the values, not what I would expect. When run with an existing file, good values are returned.
errorsFN = date('S') (file name has format of: yyyymmdd, 20120323) drop FileInfo FileInfo. FileInfo = 'none'; FileInfo. = 'notset'
err = InetMatchName("FileInfo", errorsFN, "ONE") consay(con1, "InetMatchName-errors '"err"'") consay(con1, " File Name: '"FileInfo"'") consay(con1, " File Size: '"FileInfo.0"'") consay(con1, " File Date: '"FileInfo.1"'")
err returned null value FileInfo returned null value FileInfo.0 returned "20120323" (the value of the requested file name) FileInfo.1 returned "1 1 1980 7 0 0"
Am I missing something here, or is there a bug in InetMatchName ?Doug | Forum List • Thread List • Reply • Refresh • New Topic • Search • Previous • Next 1 |
