PCL comand for group calling in for cycle

[Gaetan82]

Hello

I'm trying to create a pcl to run the same commands in more groups using a for cycle.

I created:

Integer NumTotSection = 10
Integer SectionCounter
STRING Name_Group[512](10)

Name_Group(1)= "Alfa"
/* so on ...
Name_Group(10)= "Omega"

/* and the for command

FOR (SectionCounter = 1 TO NumTotSection)

uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, [Name_Group(SectionCounter)] )

/* MY command group

END FOR

but the problem is in the command to show (" to load") a group as the presence of the [] in same way not allow patran to read the Name_Group (i).

Could please someone explane me my mistake. I have never problem with other command to use a String array but for this comand the [] in same way give me a mistake.

As example, in this case I receive the following message:

*------------------------------------------------------------------
Integer NumTotSection = 4
Integer SectionCounter
STRING Name_Group[512](4)

Name_Group(1)= "XF_COLD_Canopy_ARCH_CENTER"
Name_Group(2)= "XF_COLD_Canopy_ARCH_CENTER_RETAINER"
Name_Group(3)= "XF_COLD_Canopy_ARCH_FRONT"
Name_Group(4)= "XF_COLD_Canopy_ARCH_REAR"

/* and the for command


FOR (SectionCounter = 1 TO NumTotSection)

uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, [Name_Group( @
SectionCounter)] )
$# (PCL) Improper syntax for array constant
$# Line is "uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, [
$# name_group(sectioncounter)] )"
$# Character is "]"
$# (PCL) Missing right parenthesis
$# Line is "uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, [
$# name_group(sectioncounter)] )"
$# Extra information: sectioncounter

/* MY command group

END FOR
$# Session file stopped playing (level 1)
$# Last command aborted
*------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried a lot of combination but without results.
As example, also if I use the command:

uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, [Name_Group(1)] )

I receive the following message:
*------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR (SectionCounter = 1 TO NumTotSection)

uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, [Name_Group(1)] )
$# (PCL) Improper syntax for array constant
$# Line is "uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, [
$# name_group(1)] )"
$# Character is "]"
$# (PCL) Missing right parenthesis
$# Line is "uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, [
$# name_group(1)] )"
$# Extra information: name_group

/* MY command group

END FOR
$# Session file stopped playing (level 1)
$# Last command aborted
*------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought that it depends by [] as I have not problem with other command inside a for cycle as for example:

res_display_report_write( "", 0, "Tensor", "Nodal", "Append", Nome_Report(Numeratore_Group) )

to write a report where there are not the [] .

Could someone help me, please ?

Thank you

Hello

I have still this issue. Nobody can help me, please?

How set a vector in a string command when we have square bracket [], because it seems that Patran is not able to see a vector in this case.

Thank You

This will work:

Integer NumTotSection = 10
Integer SectionCounter
STRING Name_Group[512](10)
STRING strSingleGroup[32](1)

Name_Group(1)= "Alpha"
Name_Group(2)="Beta"
Name_Group(3)="Gamma"
Name_Group(4)="Delta"
Name_Group(5)= "Epsilon"
Name_Group(6)="Eta"
Name_Group(7)="Omega"
Name_Group(8)="Phi"
Name_Group(9)="Ci"
Name_Group(10)="Xi"

FOR (SectionCounter = 1 TO NumTotSection)
strSingleGroup(1) = Name_Group(SectionCounter)
uil_viewport_post_groups.posted_groups( "default_viewport", 1, strSingleGroup )
END FOR
