UCCX Create File document text

[MikeHoliday]

I have the following script. In the document (txt) I write a record which I record. If I want to delete it, then I write "blank" in this document.

How would you then read this document in order to determine if it was blank in the document or is it in the record document?

[Jonathan Schulenberg]

Are you referring to a Document-type variable with a TEXT[] value; or, a text file you are reading from the Document Repository?

If the former, a simple If myVariable.length() == 0 would do it. Be careful to catch NullPointerException though. Nested if logic can do that:
if myVariable = null {
return false;
} else if myVariable.length() == 0
return false;
} else {
return true;
}

It's a .txt file that I read from document repository 

[Anthony Holloway]

Using the Set step to "read" a document, will put that documents contents in your variable.

Example:

Read a file from the Document Repository

Set file_contents = DOC[myfilename.txt]

BONUS: Read a file from the web

Set file_contents = URL[http://servername/myfilename.txt]

In each case, you would then just work with the variable as a normal variable, checking for null, empty, or specific content.

/* Check for null or empty */
If (file_contents == null || file_contents.trim() == "")
  True
    /* File has no content */
    Goto Default Path
  False
If (file_contents == "banana")
  True
    /* Anthony was here */

As @Jonathan Schulenberg  said, watch out for situations where you are trying to read a file which does not exist; your script will abort unless you catch the Exception

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
