genfunc problem

[Mary_p]

HI,

I must count every time that the user press key "1",

a simple way is use :

 

genfunc ++ 0 count

 

so the result is ..count=2...

 

BUT

when I begin count variable is not define (NULL) and so the

syntax above become:

genfun ++ count

and so the result is not useful.

Ok, the solution is write a new plugin... ok,

 

but with a 2.41 vers of IVM there is a way to initialize to zero some variables?

(I have seen it on 3.01 and is it ok)

 

"where" I can write count:=0 ??

 

thanks,

really good software...

M.

Hi Mary,

 

yes you can do that with version 3.01

 

In 2.43 I used to do this by reading the variable from a textfile in the very first OGM. Probably this is the same in 2.41 (?)

Just one simple textfile containing:

init,0

 

Then use getdata.exe to read the value of init and return this as the variable count (or another name if you prefer). This way count is set with value 0.
