VAS uservarcompile alternative

[ThomasTh02]

Hello,

we want to switch from Diadem 2012 to 2021. Our Measurement system creates a .vas file with different variables like user name, test variant, timings...

In diadem 2012 we used uservarcompile to read in all variables, but in 2021 variables and values are mixed up or value gets lost. I attached a vas file as a txt file (I'm not able to upload a vas)

Is there a different way to read in the variables?

Just tried your vas file in DIAdem 2021 and did not encounter any errors. Despite being marked as obsolete this functionality is still available.

Nevertheless, you could replicate it by:

- reading the vas file as text file

- split the lines according to the different limiters (:, <>)

- create the variables using the GlobalDim command

- set the value of the variables as read from the file.

The only option that is not available is to define the type of the variables as all VBS variables are of variant type by default.

Thanks for the reply,

Uservarcompile is working in general, but at some point it mixed up the variables and values. After restarting Diadem it works again...

Creating the variable with globaldim is working, but how do I set the value? That's my blocking point right now

Like the name of the variable the value is read from the file. You could use the Execute command to assign the value to the variable.
