| This is a change which was implemented in early 2024 so if you have old projects without this final "incomingValue;" you can add this last line in the script manually to every script, or you can use the steps below (please make a copy of your project before doing this in case there is a corruption of the file after the process). | This is a change which was implemented in early 2024 so if you have old projects without this final "incomingValue;" you can add this last line in the script manually to every script, or you can use the steps below (please make a copy of your project before doing this in case there is a corruption of the file after the process). |

| | What this does is find any string(or just ;) with a ";" just before the end of the script (the </Script> tag) and replaces this with a place holder marking it as "OK". You should see a count on the bottom bar of this panel of how many of these valid strings were found. In the second pass, below, we look for end of script tags (</Script>) which do not end with a ; and fix them: |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | ==Second Pass: add new incomingValue; where needed to end a script (and ignore the incomingValue; already in place) == |
| | |
| | |
| | - Set up the Replace: |
| | * Search Mode: Regular Expression |
| | * Find what: <nowiki> (?<!<!--OK-->)</Script></nowiki> |
| | * Replace with: incomingValue;</Script> |
| | - Execute the replace: Click Replace All |

| | |
| | On this last pass you can add a comment to the replacement line, such as incomingValue;<nowiki> <!--fixed today--></nowiki> , and put today's date in place of "today" |
| |
| | Note: the OK comment <nowiki> <!--OK--> </nowiki> and other comments added in these steps will be removed after you load the project into TransSECS and re-save. |
| |
| {{:pasted:20250520-104118.png}} | This procedure should help you modify projects using scripts in which there is no output at the end of the script. However, it is good to do a quick check of your project after these changes. Also there can be some casese where incomingValue; is not inserted before the end of the script because the last line in the script ended with a ; and there is no output on that line. For example, if your last line was a DataSource.logMessage("some message"); this will not get an incomingValue; added and logMessage does not return a value so this can still cause the script not to execute the next time it is triggered. If you had a method call on the last line which does return a value then this satisfies the output requirement. Likewise if your last line was a comment such as <nowiki>"//this is a comment"</nowiki> then a new incomingValue; will be added. |
