GetComments and GetFileComments

incognita

Hi

I'm using TS 6.7.1 SP1, and WFM 1.0.0.1.
I'd like to retrieve task comments from within an external task.

As per the WF documentation, the GetComments function requires parameter "\@list", and the GetFileComments function requires both "\@list" as well as "$felement". Could someone tell me what exactly these parameters are supposed to contain, and give some pointers on the exact usage of these two commands?

Thanks

GetComments retrieves the task transition comments, GetFileComments retrieves the comments associated with a specific file that is attached to the task.

The reference to the array that is passed in, gets populated with references to hashes.

$task->GetComments(\my @list);
foreach my $entry (@list) {
    foreach my $key (%{$entry}) {
        print "$key => $entry->{$key}\n";
    }
}

Obviously (hopefully) the print statement above is just a pseudo-example - you'd probably do something else with it since printing to STDOUT isn't likely to be of much use for an externaltask.
