Assura variable for runset name

Leonid Y
Leonid Y over 11 years ago

 Hi,

I want to include another Assura rulefile  with skill load() command.

When I use absolute path it works well, but I would like to define a relative one, to make it more flexible.

Is there a special variable  in Assura which contains a full path of currently running rule file?

Mybe there is also some other work around which could help including sub-rulefile which is stored in the same directory as a main rulefile.

    Unfortunately there's no built-in dirname() function in SKILL (it would be useful if there was), so the way you've done it is as good as any other, probably. You could also use:

    pattern=pcreCompile("/[^/]*$")
    dirName=pcreReplace(pattern path "" 0)

    That's probably the way I'd do it. You could omit the "/" at the beginning of the pattern if you want to keep the trailing "/" in the dirName.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
