Null Folder parameter

Hi all,

my problem - i get this error msg : -R-E- DXL: <Line:2> null Folder parameter was passed into argument position 1

my code:

Folder f = folder "\\Test"
print name(f)

what i need: output -  "\Test"

I tried it with "\\Test\\", "\\Test\\.", "\\Test." , "\\" "Test" - all doesent work

Thank you :)

 

Edit: i need a Folder not a string or something ...

I guess the only thing you did not try is the other slash - '/', which is what is required to get it to work.. ;)

Also, note that if the folder is within a project, then the name should contain the path to its nearest parent project. That is, if folder Test is in a project by name TestProject, then the name of folder supplied should be /TestProject/Test. If it is not in a project, it should be the path to the root. You can't get the handle of folder with just the name of that folder.

Hope that helps.

"Test" is a project - a "root project" directly under DOORS Database ..

I try the normal slash "/" but isn't there a possibility to use the backslash "\"  ?

If it is a project, use project instead of folder key words

 

Use a single slash like:  /Test

If you are not happy you can always give the solution back -- we try not to force anyone to do what they don't like.
