Hi Guys, yu, its met again.

 

 

I have a question.

 

 

 

If i do this

 

$(DestDataset_CSV)  as a scripted parameter and tcl script:  $FME_MacroValues(Outputdir)\\\\$FME_MacroValues(csv_name).csv (just a simple concatenation)

 

 

Then $(DestDataset_CSV) ends up like  Outputdir\\csv_name

 

the extension is missing.

 

 

Only when i add this extension to $FME_MacroValues(csvl_name) =filename.csv

 

i get Outputdir\\csv_name.csv wich is correct.

 

 

Why is this?

 

 

(in this case i wanted the user not to have to enter the extension, though i changed my mind on that point already..;)

 

 

Also i have boiled down the issue by Robbie B

 

Creating dynamic attributes per "fme_basename"

 

to just this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It consist of 3 workspaces, 2 of wich have callers, an intricate parameter construction, 2 startups and one shutdown script.

 

Now one can pick a directory and read files and their attributes straight to (in this case) excell.

 

I think this workspace might inerest you all because it shows a workaround on the issue of dynamic attributes. No exposing is required.
