Print combobox option in ciw window

Seriously?

You write some code to do that. It's not hard.

Hi Andrew,

thanks fr reply,

am getting an error while trying it as

*Error* fprintf/sprintf: format spec. incompatible with data - "Format is '%s Completed ..please check log files\n', argument #1 is (\"2\")"

below code i have tried

rules_Entry=hiCreateListBoxField(
?name 'rules_Entry
?multipleSelect t
?choices (list "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9"  ))

rules_check = form->rules_Entry->value

sumfile=simplifyFilename("./sum")
if(system(strcat("grep -q '" "RUN COMPLETED" "' " sumfile))==0 then
printf("%s Completed ..please check log files\n" rules_check)
else
warn("Rules Failed...please check log files\n")
)

Isn't that obvious, and something you could figure out with a little testing? For list boxes (so it's not even a combobox as you described in your original post), multiple selection is possible (you've even enabled it in your code snippet), so form->rules_Entry->value is a list of strings, not a single string.

rules_check = buildString(form->rules_Entry->value ",")

would fix your code above, because it takes the list of selected values and converts it into a single, comma-separated, string.

Clearly you can see that providing a code example and the actual error makes it far easier to give you an answer (rather than requiring us to read your mind), but even so, your description didn't actually match what the code was doing!

Thanks Andrew for explanation.

i have one more question in above..i have made another test-case in which...

rules_Entry=hiCreateListBoxField(
?name 'rules_Entry
?multipleSelect t
?choices (list "1 (a)" "2 (b)" "3 (c) " "4 (d)" "5 (e)" "6 (f)" "7 (x)" "8 (y)" "9 (z)"  ))  ;;;;where a,b,c defines the rules for particular no.

rules_check = buildString(form->rules_Entry->value ",")

printf("%s Completed ..please check log files\n" rules_check)

in above case if i  select rule 1 and 2 , it print it will print like ( 1 (a) ,2 (b) ) completed...

but i want that it will print only number come not alphabets as (1,2 completed).

i have tried with grep and awk but it didnt work

leadingNum=pcreCompile("^\\d+")
filtered=foreach(mapcar entry form->rules_Entry->value
  pcreExecute(leadingNum entry)
  pcreSubstitute(leadingNum "\\0")
)
rules_check = buildString(filtered ",")

or simpler still without needing patterns (if you just want to take the first word in your choices, i.e. using parseString to pull part the choice):

rules_check = buildString(
  foreach(mapcar entry form->rules_Entry->value
    car(parseString(entry))
  )
  ","
)
