Input file

[samsung3500]

Hello,
I am in need of some aspect help. I am trying to create a script that will log into my voicemail system and assist in creating mailbox numbers. what I've done so far.

1) I have created a script that will get me to the point in the system of entering the name and Mailbox number.

Need: Is there a way using Aspect scripts to take input from a flat text file with 2 columns Name & mailbox number.

Note: I imaging the 'Need' process would have to be in a loop to go to the next record etc.

2) After that is completed i have already made it so that the file will exit.

Any help would be most appreciative.

Regards

you can use a comma delimited text file such as ...

MailboxName,MailboxNumber
MailboxName,MailboxNumber
MailboxName,MailboxNumber
MailboxName,MailboxNumber....

In your script use the "fopen" command to access the file...
Such as:

fopen 1 SourceFile.txt READ ;opens your file
While not feof 1
fgets 1 strSourceString ;Gets the next line
strtok strMailBoxName strSourceString "," 1
;(Above) Breaks out the Mailbox Name
strtok strMailBoxNumber strSourceString "," 1
;(Above) Breaks out the Mail Box Number

;... (the rest of your code)
End While

Hope this Helps,
