After Job Server Routine

[ds_raman]

Hi All,
Is there any way i can read all the text in an existing file and write those contents to another file using after job subroutine.

Hi All,
Is there any way i can read all the text in an existing file and write those contents to another file using after job subroutine.

Why does it have to be an after-job routine, when it can be directly done by 'extracting from the input file and writing in an appended mode to the target file'?

[ds_raman]

I have the linkcounts captured with some formated string generated in a previous job and the current job has to read all the contents from the previous job and append with new information from the present job.

Code: Select all

cat inputFile >> targetFile

[ds_raman]

Code: Select all

cat inputFile >> targetFile

Thanks,
But i need to do this in After job Routine,

If the above command suffices, then go to the job properties and in the After SubRoutine, choose ExecSH. In the input value field, place the command. You are good to go.

Thank you Very much
With OpenSeq and ReadSeq i could only assign the first line input to a variable and write to the file, but since it has multiple lines of text its not possible, i the above command does not help.

Okay, readseq reads one line. So, put the readseq inside a loop. readseq has an ELSE which will be taken when the file is exhausted. Set the exit condition from the loop.

Code: Select all

EOF=@FALSE
LOOP
   READSEQ LINE FROM FILE ELSE EOF=@TRUE
UNTIL EOF DO
...
...
...
REPEAT

How so? The 'above command' is simple to implement and all you need. Adding a routine to actually read the file, seek to the end of the output file and append the records is an unnecessary complication.

Unless, of course, you need to manipulate the records in some fashion during the process?

Thanks Very Much

The syntax i used in the routine to execute the command was wrong, its working fine.

Then what you now need to do is post the syntax that does work, and mark the thread as Resolved.

Thank you all for the Help


OsCmd8 = 'cat ':strFileName1:'>> ':strFileName:''
Call DSExecute(OsType, OsCmd8, OsOutput8, OsStatus)

This syntax worked fine

Thank you. Now mark the thread as Resolved (at the top of the screen). Only the originator can do that.
