Hi all,
Do some of you have a suggestion on how I can code my logger program to detect if a new logger program (with a new name) is available on the CPU drive? And afterward, make it compile the new program just after midnight when data has been collected and send to a remote server.
I want to make this function to minimize data loss when compiling a new program. And as I format the filenames and send data via HTTP just past midnight every day I can limit the data loss be compiling new programs at this time. Of cause, I could stay up until late every time I want to update programs, but I would prefer the automatic solution.
I have a rough outline of the program:
The first part is executed just after files were sent to the remote server.
NewFile(NewFileStatus,"CPU:*cr3")
If NewFileStatus=-1 Then ' has a file been written
TriggerSequence(1,0) ' call for subroutine that rename it
EndIf
And the second part is in a separate SlowSequence:
SlowSequence
Do
WaitTriggerSequence
FileManage ("CPU:" & NewLoggerProgram,6)
Loop
So my question is; Can the Newfile() function identify several new files. And which function can I use do get hold of the filename (NewLoggerProgram variable in the code above) of this exact new file?
