Slash in Script Name Causes Disappearance

Metastorm

The information in this article applies to product: e-Work 6.x

Issue

• If a script name contains either a forward slash ( / ) or backslash ( \\ ), the script (the name and/or contents) disappears from the Designer when the procedure is saved and then reopened.

Resolution

• This is a known issue.

• Here is a workaround:

  1. Open the procedure file, either the .epc or .xep file, with WinZip®.
  2. The script will have been saved as a .vbs or .js file. Note that the file name will only contain that part of the original script name after the (back)slash. E.g., the JScript test\\myscript will be saved as myscript.js. Open the script file in a text editor.
  3. Copy the code for later use.
  4. Add a new script without a slash or backslash in the name.
  5. Add the code from the original script.
  6. Delete any references to the original scripts in the Designer's scripts wizard.
