Problem in retreving selected items in perl/cgi script

npuri

Hi All,

I had created a custom menu item in actions menu and on click of it I am calling an .ipl script. This script lies in iw-bin.

Now my requirement that I want to retreive names of file and directories selected in content center in this ipl script. I had read in UI guide that it is possible through vpath, but still I am not succesful in retrieving names.

hello.ipl code -

#!D:\Interwoven\TeamSite/iw-perl/bin/iwperl -w

use CGI;

my $page = new CGI;

my @vpaths = $page->{form}{'vpath'};

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<"End";
Test Page

Hello, world!
End

foreach my $vpath (@vpaths)
{
print "$vpath";
}

print <<"END";

END

The error.log is giving this error - Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at \\Interwoven\\TeamSite\\httpd\\iw-bin\\hello.ipl line 18.\n

Any help will be appreciated

Form's 'vpath' is a scalar, not an array. It indicates where you were when CGI was called.
If some assets in this vpath were checked names are passed as {form}{name_0}, {form}{name_1}, etc...

Plenty more information is supplied (full path, Object ID's etc). IW provides "show_env" cgi script to
see all that. Configure it in the menu, check few files/directories and run. You will see all you need to
know to proceed on your own
