I am trying to tidy up my “if then else” relevance (the second Q:) by using it to reference 2 repeated strings, however when i use “it” it will fail when it can’t find the file or the line.
Below are the results when i remove the line i am looking for:
Q: (IF (exists it) THEN ((if (exists it) then (exists (it whose (it does not contain “disabled”))) else FALSE) of line containing “svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login” of it) ELSE TRUE) of file “C:\Test\testfile”
E: Singular expression refers to nonexistent object.
Q: (IF (exists file “C:\Test\testfile”) THEN (if (exists line containing “svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login” of file “C:\Test\testfile”) then (exists (line containing “svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login” of file “C:\Test\testfile”) whose (it does not contain “disabled”)) else FALSE) ELSE TRUE)
A: False
T: 0.632 ms
I: singular boolean
Any help here would be appreciated as the real pathnames are a lot longer.
Could you explain what you are trying to accomplish? It’s not clear from the examples.
Does the following syntax help?
q: (exists line containing “svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login” of it and not exists line containing “disabled” of it) of file “c:\test\testfile”
A: True
q: (exists line containing “svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login” of it and not exists line containing “login1” of it) of file “c:\test\testfile”
Apologies i wasnt clear. What i am trying to achieve is 3 things:
If the file “C:\Test\testfile” does not exist the relevance should return true.
if the line “svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login” does not exist it should return false
if the line does exist it should contain “disabled” or should return true.
The second relevance i posted does work, however the first one doesn’t work as it doesnt seem to pick up the “it” refrenences which i was trying to use to tidy the relevance up.
I hope this makes what i am trying to do more clearer.
