Getting attached files

Hi All,

In my workflow there is a problem I am reading the files attached to my workflow.

these are the snippets of my external script....

my $task = new TeamSite::WFtask($ARGV[1]);

my @file_list = $task->GetFiles();

if ($task->IsValid()){

print LOG ("\n Its a Valid Task!! \n");

}

if (@file_list){

print LOG ("\n File Exists\n");

}
else{

print LOG ("\n File Does'nt exist \n");

}

My LOG says the task is valid but says File Does'nt exist

I checked the scalar output of @file_list it says 0 means there shud be one file(the one i want).

But i am not able to print it...

Can anyone explain why it happens and how to correct it?

Thanks,
Mani

You code looks correct, there is nothing obviously wrong with it.

Add a couple more debug statements:

print LOG ("TaskID -> $ARGV[1]\n");
foreach (@file_list) {print LOG ("File $_ |n");}

scalar @file_list evaluates to the size of an Array. So, 0 means empty array, not the index of the last Array element.
It looks like you simply do not have attached File(s). That is also indicated by your own diagnostics.

Hi All,

But i kick start the workflow by submitting one file..
How to get the file name in the external script if the above is not working?

Within the workflow you have to capture the submitted file value using

my $filePath=__VALUE__('iw_file');

and attach the same to the workflow within 'files' tag element. Once it is attached to the workflow... then you can use that file by using $task->GetFiles(); in any of the external script.
