Using multiple script parameters

[Guy Weymouth]

I am currently using the one script to go to certain layouts and changing the script parameter of each button to the name of the layout to go to. The script then gets the script parameter to determine which layout to go to. Easy.

What if I want to have two script parameters. One holds the layout name to jump to and another determines whether a new window is opened when going to that layout.

So, ScriptParameter = a = staff ; b = new_window

and then in the script:

If b = "new_window"

go to layout "a" in a new window

else

go to layout "a"

end if

How can I do that?

Try putting different values on separate lines:

Script parameter="staffnew_window"

Script:

If [ position(middlevalues(Get(ScriptParameter);2;1);"new_window";0;1) ]

New Window []

End If

Go to layout [ Name by calculation: Let(value = MiddleValues(Get(ScriptParameter);1;1); Left(value; Length(value)-1)) ]

You could use other methods for separating values, but I like line returns.

To use named parameters, like you were trying, adjust your syntax like this:

Script parameter= "a="staff";b="new_window""

Script:

If [ Evaluate("Let ( [" & Get(ScriptParameter) & "]; b)") = "new_window" ]

New Window[]

End If

Go to layout [ Name by calculation: Evaluate("Let ( [" & Get(ScriptParameter) & "]; a)") ]

To add to the code above, how would I test if a layout is already open/visible in another window ?
