Event variable is octet string, is it possible to check it as integer?

[lilah]

Hi everyone,

 

I've configured an Event Condition for an event that has a variable which is an octet string. The value of this string is a number such as 873 or 12309. Is it possible to check if that variable is equal to, greater than or smaller than an integer/real number?

For example I'd like the event condition to read:

{v 1} < {S 100}

 

or something equivalent.

 

I can't get this to work. I'm running Spectrum 9.4.2.1.

 

Thanks for the help!

The problem is the event rules do not have any functionality to convert an octet string to an integer. OneClick does when viewing an octet string in a subview by specifying a renderer in the xml file which converts the octet string into readable text. However, that functionality does not exist within an event rule.

I see, thanks Joseph.

 

At the moment my workaround is to use regex to limit values. This works well although is harder to manage and understand.

and compare it with another octet string is posible ? lower than, equal than, etc.

or maybe.. the event rule save it on an attribute and then check it with a watch. im not sure.

 

Good luck !

I resolved this by creating an event procedure (eg. event 0xfffddd0) which set an event variable for a different event (eg. event 0xfffddd1) by casting the octet string to unsigned integer via ToUInteger(). Then I used an event rule on that new event, works like a charm.
