How to get value from Log.ExpandMacros
Altair EmployeeI'm trying to use Log.ExpandMacros method to get some values, assign them to a String, then output those values to a text file. What is happening is that the value returned from Log.ExpandMacros is the same value I pass as the parameter.
Dim test as String
test = Log.ExpandMacros("&[source.name]")
At this point, test is "&[source.name]", not the expansion of the macro I expected. I get the same for other macros as well. Is this expected? Is there a way to get the actual value?
Altair EmployeeUpdate...
I am getting the correct values for some macros ("input", "process") but not "source.name".
In my experience also the macros are not always available.
I think you may need to try using Log.GetInputItems (assuming you are working on an input file).
There is an example in the Datawatch User Scripting API help
Update...
I am getting the correct values for some macros ("input", "process") but not "source.name".
