Execute a script

In Proview you can use scripts to read csv files and create both the signal, card, channel objects and to connect them.
This can be handy to create the signals in the database so it is not necessary to create them one bye one with the editor.

A script-file can be executed from the command-line with the command:

wtt> @'filename'
Or
Using pwrc (wb_cmd) command : wb_cmd -v MyRootVolumeName @config_from_excel

Example csv file: (config_from_excel.csv)

! Start with "wb_cmd -v volvfssx3 @config_from_excel"
!
! The .csv file should look like this
!
! Signalname              Class   Signal description         
! =====================   ====== =====================
! VFS-SX3-LM-AS13-KlippTK; Di    ;TK SAX 3 KLIPP +AS13  BL.21
!
! Hint, set a comment on "save" on the bottom row the first time to check that
! everything works.
! 

!
! Create an object and it's ancestors if they doesn't exist
!
function int  create_object( string name, string class)
  int	 i;
  int	 j;
  string parent;
  string object;
  int	 sts;

  i = strrchr( name, "-");
  if ( i)
    i++;
    j = i - 2;
    parent = extract( 1, j, name);
    object = extract( i, 80, name);
  else
    object = name;
    parent = "";
  endif
  if ( !ObjectExist( name))
    if ( parent != "")
      create_object( parent, class);
    endif
    create object/dest="'parent'"/class='class'/name="'object'"
