XLT writing to file

[David Teh]

Hi folks,

I am using a file as a counter.

An xlate will read the existing value from the file, output to @ctr, get stuff done and increment the value by 1.

So far so good.

However, I can’t seem to write that new value back to the counter from the xlate.

Please advise. TIA!

David,

Are you using the ‘counter’ extensions available within Cloverleaf (i.e. ‘CtrNextValue’)?  If not, look at the information available within the Cloverleaf ‘Reference Guide’ under Tcl Extensions, Counter commands.

Hope that helps.

Works like a charm!

And it’s been there since early 5.x version! What have I been missing? 😛

Actually David those command have been there much longer that that 🙂  Even the old HCI Link days.
