Exporting ADE-L Variables

netbug

Dear all,

I have an ADE-L session which has some variables defined and I would like to export them so they could be used in a script (tcl script). Is there a simple way of  doing it ?

Best regards,

José

PS: Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this....

    Hi Andrew,
    I've solved it, but maybe in a way that is not the most correct.
    From the cds_globals, using the describe command, I could get the value for the ADE-L variable, an then use it.

    set aVar [describe cds_globals.AUTORUN]
    set aList [split $aVar "="]
    set ade_l_var [lindex $aList 1]

    if {$ade_l_var==1} {
    # If AUTORUN was set to 1 run tcl script
    source myFile.tcl
    mainFunction

    } else {
    # If any other character other than 1 do nothing
    }

    Best regards,
    Pedro
