Hi,
I am trying to create a timed event from a script that will run a script with parameter passing, however I cannot get past what I think is a nested quotes problem. Using the web interface\formula to run tests ph_createtimedevent( 2, "ph.runscript_3(x,"path", ..... needs nested quotes and it fails.
Is it possible ? Anyone know how to do it ?
The core problem I am trying to solve is to track what procedure or function is asking for a device to be on or off, i.e. :
time 00: function 1 switches device 1 on
time 01: function 2 switches device 1 on
time 02: function 1 no longer requires device 1 on
time 03: function 2 no longer requires device 1 on
at time 02 although function 1 no longer requires device 1 on, function 2 has not requested it to be switched off so it should stay on until all interestd functions have said it can switch off. My answer, at present, is to have an integer "demand" variable for each device, each bit allocated to a specific function. Each function then sets or clears its allocated bit and only when all bits are cleared does the device get switched off. This is fairly straight forward when done inside a script but I cannot figure out how to program future (timed) events.
Maybe I'm just heading towards a dead end, if anyone knows a better (or working) way I would be greatful to hear it.

Within PH you can use single and double quotes.
"xxxxx 'yyyyy' zzzzz" or
'xxxxx "yyyyy" zzzzz'
