    Using HTTP Server RunTime Log option as Interface

    Dear Users,

    On request we expanded the built in HTTP server to except some extra parameters of the log URL (i.e. http://127.0.0.1:8080/log )

    • Before we go further, please check if the HTTP Server is Enabled (Menu item: Server\HTTP Server)

    • Also the RunTime Log option must be enabled to use these extra parameters

    What parameters were already available:

    • ruleid
      • Show the RunTime Log of RuleID 4
        • http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?ruleid=4
    • exe
      • Execute RuleID4
        • http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?ruleid=4&exe=4

    Since v2019.1.20.0 we’ve added the following extra parameters:

    • status
      • Get the Status of RuleID 4 as HTML Status Code
        • http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?status=4
      • We are using unassigned Status codes as Rule Status (RFC7231: 227-299 Unassigned)
        • 250 = Hold Mode
        • 251 = Move Enabled
        • 252 = Copy Enabled
        • 253 = Delete Enabled
        • 254 = Move enabled, Check RunTime Log
        • 255 = Copy enabled, Check RunTime Log
        • 256 = Delete enabled, Check RunTime Log
        • 257 = Move Disabled
        • 258 = Copy Disabled
        • 259 = Delete Disabled
        • 261 = Move Running
        • 262 = Copy Running
        • 263 = Delete Running
        • 264 = Move Terminating
        • 265 = Copy Terminating
        • 266 = Delete Terminating
        • 270 = Scanning Disabled
    • report
      • Get the Report of RuleID 4
        • http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?report=4

    Quite some customers use a command line tool called curl to execute a rule from an external application. This command line tool (curl) uses the built in HTTP server options/parameters we explained before.

    Some examples:

    • Execute RuleID4 using curl
      • curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?ruleid=4&exe=4
    • Get Status Code of RuleID as HTML Status Code using curl
      • curl -sL -w “%{http_code}” -I “http://127.0.0.1:8080/log?status=4” -o /dev/null
    • Get Report of RuleID 4 in your browser

    Please let us know if you have any questions about these new parameters. Don’t hesitate to contact us.

    How-To Convert XLS Files using Pascal Script, Example 1

    https://limagito.com/converting-xls-files/

    First example: convert a xls(x) file to a tabbed txt file

    1) Add the following ‘Filename Include Filter’ so we are 100% sure we’ll only handle xls(x) files

    2) Add PS (Pascal Script) as Destination

    3) Add the following Pascal Script

    Const
      CsvPath = 'C:\Test\OUT_XLS\';
    Begin
      psExitCode := 0;
      // ... add your code here
      // 2 = Text based file, #09 is tab delimited, 0 is UTF8 text encoded
      If psConvertXlsFile(psFilePath + psFileName, CsvPath + ChangeFileExt(psFileName, '.txt'), 2, #09, 0, 'Run results') Then
      Begin
        psExitCode := 1;
        psLogWrite(1, '', 'Converted ' + psFilePath + psFileName);
      End
      Else
        psLogWrite(1, '', 'Convert error ' + psFilePath + psFileName);
     
      // psConvertXlsFile(psFilePath + psFileName, CsvPath + ChangeFileExt(psFileName, '.csv'), 2, ',', 0, 'Run results');
    End.

    How-To Convert XLS Files using Pascal Script

    Dear Users,

    We got a request to add an option to convert xls(x) to csv and txt. It should work without Excel being installed. All should be native code.

    This options was added as a Pascal Script function in version v2019.1.19.0.

    – Use psConvertXlsFile to convert xls(s) files to xls(x), csv, txt, …

    Function psConvertXlsFile(SrcFile, DstFile: String; Format: Integer; Delimiter: Char; Encoding: Integer; Sheet: String): Boolean;

    SrcFile = Source File (FilePath + filename)
    DstFile = Destination File (FilePath + Filename)
    Format = Destination File format

    • 0 = Automatic Automatically detect the type of the file when opening files.
    • 1 = Xls Excel 97-2000-XP-2003
    • 2 = Text Delimiter separated values. Depending on the delimiter, this can be csv, tab delimited text, etc.
    • 3 = Pxl Pocket Excel 1.0 or 2.0
    • 4 = Xlsx Excel 2007 standard file format. Note that this is *not* a macro enabled file format. If you want to save a file with macros, you need to use Xlsm instead.
    • 5 = Xlsm Excel 2007 macro enabled file format.

    Delimiter = Delimiter Char to use if Format Text ( #09 = Tab )
    Encoding = Encoding for the generated file, when writing a Text-delimited file (csv or txt). This parameter has no effect on xls/x files.

    • 0 = UTF8
    • 1 = UTF7
    • 2 = Unicode
    • 3 = Default
    • 4 = BigEndianUnicode
    • 5 = ASCII
    • 6 = ANSI

    Sheet = Name of the sheet that needs to be converted

    Pascal Script Examples:

    i.e. Convert the sheet Results of a xls(x) file to a tab delimited txt file. Destination will be a UTF8 encoded text file.

    Const
      CsvPath = 'C:\Test\OUT_XLS\';
    Begin
      psExitCode := 0;
      // ... add your code here
      If psConvertXlsFile(psFilePath + psFileName, CsvPath + ChangeFileExt(psFileName, '.txt'), 2, #09, 0, 'Results') Then psExitCode := 1;
    End.

    i.e. Convert the sheet Results of a xls(x) file to a csv delimited txt file. Destination will be a UTF8 encoded text file.
    Const

    Const
      CsvPath = 'C:\Test\OUT_XLS\';
    Begin
      psExitCode := 0;
      // ... add your code here
      If psConvertXlsFile(psFilePath + psFileName, CsvPath + ChangeFileExt(psFileName, '.csv'), 2, ',', 0, 'Results') Then psExitCode := 1;
    End.

    Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any information about this new function.
