Use column values as input for third-party applications?
Posted by Mick (July 09, 2010 02:05)
Hi,

I'd like to pass the values from certain columns (eg 'Logged-on User') to one of my third-party applications.

I know from the help text that you can: "Use %0 as IP address, %1 as share name, %2 as MAC address."

I'm trying to avoid having to using a {param} prompt for values I already know as a result of the Network Scan.

If there's no way to do this currently, do you think this feature could be potentially added?

Implemented in build 4.4.8 available here. You can refer to any column like this [Logged-on User], note the square brackets.

Thanks heaps, that's exactly what I was after! smiling smiley

One problem, when I use that build 4.4.8 exe in conjuction with the /xml switch, it appears to ignore the 3rd part applictions I have stored in my xml config file. ie my Applications list is blank.
If I then re-load the config file manually it adds them.
I tried on a second PC with the same result.
When I copy the old exe back it seems to work fine again too.

Is this a bug, or do you think I'm doing something wrong?

There was another relevant change done to the application since v4.4.7: if the application is launched from a hard disk drive, but the current folder contains a XML or INI configuration file, the application will use it instead of the registry. Therefore, the /xml switch need not be specified anymore to make the application portable. I guess this is what you encountered.
