goto_oid and current_tag_attr_value()

[ptc-1123085]

Hello. I am trying to get attribute values within a certain block of tags.<relationship-block><form10k><form10kcomponent val="10k-business"/"></form10k><proxystmt><proxystmtcomponent val="prx-MERGERS"/"></proxystmt><forms1><forms1component val="s1-part1"/"></forms1><forms4><forms4component val="s4-part1"/"></forms4><form10><form10component val="10-other"/"></form10></relationship-block>When the cursor is to the right of one of the empty tags with the ‘val’ attribute and I type this on the command lineresponse(current_tag_attr_value(val))the Response dialog displays what I’m looking for. But if I put the same code in an ACL function, the Response dialog is empty.function process_elements() { $oid_marker = oid_root() while (oid_valid($oid_marker)) { $next_oid_marker = oid_forward($oid_marker)# response(oid_name($oid_marker)) $oid_marker = $next_oid_marker goto_oid($oid_marker) response(current_tag_attr_value(val)); }}Is there something I am missing here? I want to transform all of the contents of val attributes within <relationship-block> tags to lowercase.Thank you for any help in this matter.- karen dL.Karen Garrett de Luna

Hi Karen-



Yes, you are missing something-quotation marks. J



While you can often get away with specifying unquoted strings on the command
line, it doesn't work in scripts. Try changing



response(current_tag_attr_value(val))



to:



response(current_tag_attr_value("val"))



in your script and see if that works. Of course, you should also be able to
use a variable there, e.g.



$target_attr = "val";

response(current_tag_attr_value($target_arr));



should also work.



(BTW, if you copy and paste code from this message, replace the
Outlook-munged curly quotes with standard straight quotes before you run
it.)
