Accessing form fields names and values

dragank

Hi all.

Here is mentioned "oferSaveTemplate()".

I need to iterate through form fields and save "name=value" pairs in .txt file.

Here is mu current code:

procedure(
     saveTemplateButtonBoxAL()
  outputFolder = plotterForm->fileOutStringField->value
  outputFileName = plotterForm->fileNameStringField->value
  outputFile = strcat(outputFolder "/" outputFileName)
  out = outfile(strcat(outputFile) "w")
  foreach( field plotterForm->?
    if( and(field->name field->value)
      then
      lin = strcat(field->name "=" field->value)
      fprintf(out lin)
    )
  )
  close(out)
)

Is this achieved by:

        foreach(key '(userFilename userRadio)
            fprintf(fport "  %s %L\n" key get(oferUserDataForm key)->value)
            )

in mentioned post?

Thank you in advance.

  • Yes. Also the block above that where it grabs some of the other fields from the main form (in the example code there are two forms, and the template saves the value from both).

    Your code is a bit strange:

    1. I would expect you to use foreach(field plotterForm->fieldList to iterate over the form. Even with what you're doing, it's grabbing the name of the slot, not the object itself.
    2. It's a bit odd doing the strcat and then fprintf
    3. There's no ->name attribute

    So something like this:

    foreach(field plotterForm->fieldList
      fieldData=get(plotterForm field)
      when(fieldData->value
        fprintf(out "%s=%L\n" field fieldData->value)
      )
    )

    should do the job.
