Adding files to a task

Annad

Hello,
I am trying to add files to an existing task in a workflow using a perl script. The command $task->AddFile("file", Comment) adds a file even if it already exists in that task.
Any idea how to prevent it from adding an existing file to the task.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Compare the file you're adding to the list of files already in the job. Only add the file if it doesn't already exist. There are probably several ways to do this.

I guess I was mistaken.
It does not add an existing file. I was confused because I was looking a the log file and not the acutal GUI with the list of file for a task.
Thanks.

Actually - if you'd been checking the return value from AddFile() you would have found that trying to add an already existing file to the task results in an error.

Try:

my %files;
$files{$_} = 1 foreach($task->GetFiles());
if (!$files{$newfile}){
    if (! $task->AddFile($newfile, "comment")){
        # ERROR
    }
}
