Select box entries are coming in cfg file but,same entries are not coming in metadata

Hi.

Calling inline command for getting of select box entries for my datacaputure.cfg file.

In my cfg file i had written like this

inline command="/iw-home/httpd/iw-bin/aaa.ipl"

The above entry i specified in select box tag.

The same above inline statements i mentioned in my metata datacapture.cfg file.

The entries those are coming in my actual datacaputure.cfg file are not getting in my metadata datacapture.cfg file.

Can any one help me for solving of this one?

In my ipl file i have statements like this for filling of select box entries.
print <<"END";
substitution
END
if (open(MYFILE, "$filepath")) {
$line = ;
while($line ne "")
{
print FLE "$line\n";
print <<"END";
option label="$line"
END
$line = ;
}
}

print <<"END";
substitution
END

Have correct open and end tags for substitution and option tags. When i am posting this i removed those.

Meta Data Capture mechanism differs from DCT. FormAPI and inline are not supported (inlines are simply ignored)
You can make a CGI Callout, that will work in MDCT as well

I beg to differ there Bo. Inlines work well. I use this to verify that only Admin and Masters can do certain tags:

<inline command="d:/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl.exe d:/iw-home/custom/inline/metadatacapture/datacapture.ipl" />

Works great on 6.5.

You are certainly correct about FormAPI.

What level TS ? What OS ?

Thanks. I had very brief encounter with 6.1 and was under impression that MDCT inline did not work there, just like 4.x/5.x
Did not double-check with 6.5

Inlines appear to have been part of the 6.0 metadata capture DTD (at least in the TeamSite Admin Manual it appears to be)

In my ipl file i have statements like this for filling of select box entries.[html]print <<"END";
substitution
END
if (open(MYFILE, "$filepath")) {
$line = ;
while($line ne "")
{
print FLE "$line\n";
print <<"END";
option label="$line"
END
$line = ;
}
}

print <<"END";
substitution
END[/html]

Is the lack of <'s and >'s around substitution just a posting thing?

Why are you using here-is syntax for one-line print statements - they are notoriously problematic as all it takes is one errant white-space character before the end tag to mess them up - I suggest changing the code as follows:[html]print qq(\n);
if (open(MYFILE, "$filepath")) {
my @lines = ;
close(MYFILE);
chomp(@lines);
foreach my $line (@lines){
next if ($line =~ /^\s*$/);
print qq(\n);
}
}
print qq(\n);[/html]

Hi. I am using Teamsite 6.5,OS is WindowsXP and i have Master Role for Teamsite Login.

Enclosed open and end tags correctly for subtituion.

Checked in teamsite development6.5 pdf for inline commands.
Like that only i mentioned inline command in my MDCT file.

For my present situation i have to use inline only, because on loading of MDCT i have to display select box entries.

I changed my code like below in my ipl file.

print qq(\n);
if (open(MYFILE, "$filepath")) {
my @lines = ;
close(MYFILE);
chomp(@lines);
foreach my $line (@lines){
next if ($line =~ /^\s*$/);
print qq(\n);
}
}
print qq(\n);

Then also, i am not getting select box entries in my MDCT file.(Metadata datacapture.cfg file).

Any more suggestions for solving of this problem? How to get entries in MDCT from ipl file by calling inline command in MDCT file.

Run your command (exactly like it is in the callout: /iw-home/httpd/iw-bin/aaa.ipl) from a shell (I assume you are Unix) and post the results into a HTML window block.
