I think there is some cross-over here. What is the difference between the PH functions?

g_oGbl.EH_PH_MACRO
g_oGbl.EH_PH_CALL_RETVAR
g_oGbl.EH_PH_MACRO_RETVAR

In the designer Help, this is an example:

sRet = g_oGbl.EH_PH_MACRO("ph_macro(" & Chr(34) & "test1" & Chr(34) & ")")

but it is evaluating a formula not calling a macro.

If you take a look at PH socket server - everything sent to it is a formula. And yeah this is crossover...

by **TonyNo** on Sun Mar 02, 2008 9:15 pm

So, these are all implemented the same way? One is not better/more appropriate than the other for one thing or another?

if not, I'll use the first one as it's shorter! :lol:

All the same way, through the PH socket server interface.

OK, just to be crystal-clear, I can use any of these three formats interchangeably?

by **JakeBullet** on Wed Mar 12, 2008 1:17 pm

Yep - in the end it wont matter.

Next one: Will bad things happen if backslashes are in a PH formula?

This is giving me trouble...

Code: Select all: g_oGbl.EH_PH_MACRO("ph_rtne( ph_setvar_a( 1, 1, ph_winampinfo( 'listpos', 0, 0 ) ) + ph_setvar_a( 1, 2, 3 ) + ph_setvar_a( 1, 3, '' )) + ph_rtne( ph_setvar_a( 1, 4, ph_getvar_n( 1, 1) - ph_getvar_n( 1, 2)) ) + ph_rtne( ph_forloopwinc('ph_concatvar( 1, 3, if( ph_winampinfo( \'listtitlename\', ph_getvar_n( 1, 4 ), 0)=\'\', \'\', ph_getvar_n( 1, 4 ) + \': \' + if( ph_getvar_n( 1, 4) = ph_getvar_n( 1, 1), \'> \', \'\' ) + ph_winampinfo( \'listtitlename\', ph_getvar_n( 1, 4 ), 0) + \'<br>\'))',ph_getvar_n( 1, 1) - ph_getvar_n( 1, 2),ph_getvar_n( 1, 1) + ph_getvar_n( 1, 2), 1, 4)) + ph_getvar_s( 1, 3) ")

Other possible bad string delimiters are: \', ~", and ~~".

by **JakeBullet** on Fri Mar 14, 2008 6:51 am

That should be fine. I treat it as a big string and just pass it to PH. Have you checked the error log to see what is getting passed to PH?

Now, you know my VBS abilities are limited, but this

Code: Select all: g_oGbl.EH_PH_MACRO("ph_irchain(" & Chr(34) & "DVR_1" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "0~t0~t3~t3" & Chr(34) & ")")

did not work for me. However this

Code: Select all: g_oGbl.EH_PH_CALL_RETVAR("ph_irchain(" & Chr(34) & "DVR_1" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "0~t0~t3~t3" & Chr(34) & ")")

does work.

by **TonyNo** on Fri Mar 14, 2008 2:34 pm

Yup. I found that, too.

by **TonyNo** on Fri Mar 14, 2008 2:45 pm

Crap. It looks like the PHSS doesn't like the escaped quotes...

by **JakeBullet** on Fri Mar 14, 2008 3:07 pm

escaped quotes? Don't you think you should capture them?
hehehehe sorry!!!!

by **TonyNo** on Fri Mar 14, 2008 5:20 pm

I have this figured out. They key was using "& chr$(34) &"...

Code: Select all: resp = ehCleanUpCRLF(g_oGbl.EH_PH_CALL_RETVAR("ph_rtne( ph_setvar_a( 1, 1, ph_winampinfo( " & Chr(34) & "listpos" & Chr(34) & ", 0, 0 ) ) + ph_setvar_a( 1, 2, 3 ) + ph_setvar_a( 1, 3, " & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & " )) + ph_rtne( ph_setvar_a( 1, 4, ph_getvar_n( 1, 1) - ph_getvar_n( 1, 2)) ) + ph_rtne( ph_forloopwinc(" & Chr(34) & "ph_concatvar( 1, 3, if( ph_winampinfo( 'listtitlename', ph_getvar_n( 1, 4 ), 0)='', '', ph_getvar_n( 1, 4 ) + ': ' + if( ph_getvar_n( 1, 4) = ph_getvar_n( 1, 1), '> ', '' ) + ph_winampinfo( 'listtitlename', ph_getvar_n( 1, 4 ), 0) + '<br>'))" & Chr(34) & ",ph_getvar_n( 1, 1) - ph_getvar_n( 1, 2),ph_getvar_n( 1, 1) + ph_getvar_n( 1, 2), 1, 4)) + ph_getvar_s( 1, 3)"))
