Trying to map F12 to add the index marker to text, but do not know enough to see what I am doing wrong.


Here is what I got so far. Can someone shed some light for me.



function table auto_index()


{


$table_rows=tbl_row_count()



$column_to_process=tbl_caret_col()



while(tbl_caret_row() <= $table_rows && tbl_caret_row() > 0) {


oid_select(oid_caret(0))


copy_mark mymark


insert_tag(indexterm)


paste mymark


# insert("-")


if (goto_cell(tbl_caret_row()+1, $column_to_process) != 1)


{


break


}


}



map F12 auto_index();



Thanks

    Hi Bryon--



    Your code seems to have gotten munged by the email software, so it's a
    little hard to see what you've got there. However, one thing to check is
    whether you are defining your function inside a named package. If there
    is a "package" statement in the ACL file where you are defining this
    function, then you will need to include the package modifier in your map
    command. For example, if this is in a package called "table", then you
    need to use something like this:



    map F12 table::auto_index()



    Hope that helps.

    Bryon,



    Like Clay said, your code came across pretty mangled. I copied and tried to
    see what I could do with it.

    This is what I came up with.

    function table
    auto_index()
    {$table_rows=tbl_row_count() #this counts the rows
    $column_to_process=tbl_caret_col() #this one tells it to process where the
    cusor location is
    while(tbl_caret_row() <= $table_rows && tbl_caret_row() > 0)
    {oid_select(oid_caret(0))copy_mark mymark
    insert_tag(indexterm)
    paste mymark#
    insert("-")
    if (goto_cell(tbl_caret_row()+1, $column_to_process) != 1)
    {break}}
    map F12 auto_index();



    When I did a 'brace' comparison with Codewright, there is an unmatched set
    of braces. Fix that and see what happens.

    Thansk for the help, I noticed after I posted it was all crazy. I have edited the original post to show what I have in my text file. The purpose of this acl is to place your cursor in the top cell of a column,press f12, it will add an indexterm element with the contents of the cell populating it. The original version that I have works, but needs to be local on everyone computer. I have switched to a .zip sma, so I can manage everything off of a network drive instead.



    If I have this acl code save locally, it can be invoked by source auto_index.acl. Iooked at other acl scripts that I have had help with and tried to map



    $table_rows=tbl_row_count()



    $column_to_process=tbl_caret_col()



    while(tbl_caret_row() <= $table_rows && tbl_caret_row() > 0) {



    oid_select(oid_caret(0))



    copy_mark mymark



    insert_tag(indexterm)



    paste mymark



    # insert("-")



    if (goto_cell(tbl_caret_row()+1, $column_to_process) != 1)



    {



    break



    }



    }



    Thanks for the suggestion Clay do I need to add that at the begining or at the end? I am reading the acl reference but... not sure what I am reading.
