Programmer name?

[specv]

What would be the best way to post out the programmers name from my post, i just hired another programmer and we both use the same post as it is on the network. I have my name being posted right now but how can i make it per computer?

TIA

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

In the post, search for "progno"

 

On the next line make it like this;

 

code:

---

      n, "(", "*** PROGRAMMER - SEYMOR BUTZ ***", ")", e

James,

The problem is that we use the same post. Right now I have my name being posted on his programs.

Copy the post and then use seperate ones.

[Rekd™]

You could set up a prompt, or use a script or other means to grab the current user name.

[specv]

i would rather not use seperate post's. I was wondering if there was a variable that could be changed in the config files of each computer. that way when i edit the post i dont have to make a copy everytime i change something in the post(which is often)

[crazy^millman]

Well yeah could do a MI or MR to do this very thign and keep the same post or have a question at the beginning like Matt said that would prompt you every time and then woudl output it that way also.

Rekd,

I have yet to learn scripts, but hopefully that be something i can work on in the near future. this is exactly what i am looking for tho

[Rekd™]

I think the easiest thing to do at this point is have the post prompt you for a name, and have it put into the nc file.

[mayday]

quick way? name your opperation group to what you want it. then set the nci output to use group name

[TheePres]

you could use 'format question' to have it prompt you each time you post program.

Stop me if you've heard this...

lol @ Rekd

 

im not really looking for a quick fix, its just something the i would like to figure out so that i dont have to type my name in everytime, either i would have to type it at the prompt or edit the code so that doesnt really save any steps.

We use Miscellaneous Values

 

add this to post

# mi7 - Select name, John Doe = 1, Bob Smith = 2

 

 

Works great..... quick and easy

Also set .cfg file - Misc. Values to 1 or 2

never need to select again........

Pete,

We all use the same post. We have a generic program header in a manual entry at the begining of the program. Whom ever creates a program puts his or her initials and the date in that header. All changes made to a program are listed in another manual entry with description date and prgmr initials.

Works for us.

I have my post customized so that when i post a program it puts in the date, programmer, file name, tool list, program numbers and offset numbers without entering in anymore than just the program number in the first operation.

 

Heavycut

I am going to work on the misc integers thing, hopefully that will work.

thanks

[specv]

Heavycut

When i put in into the program it outputs the number not the name, could you post the part where it call the mi7?

[Code_Breaker]

Pete,

 

Here is how I do it. Just edit the post accordingly. If you have any questions, email me.

 

code:

---

pick : 0  

---

code:

---

 fq 1 pick Enter Programmer's Number [1 for Pete Heyer, 2 for John Doe] 

---

code:

---

pcollect   # Collect info

while pick < 1 | pick > 2, q1 #force programmer to enter a 1 or 2

---

Add to PHEADER in first line

code:

---

 pheader    # File header

pcollect

---

Me personally, I have my posts not post all the header stuff. No date, time, etc, no line numbers either. I go through all my programs from top to bottom and if for some reason my name has to be in the program then I'll just put it there. I will name the program in relation to what it's doing though.

You then need a string select table.

code:

---

 sname0    "None"     #No programmer

sname1 "Joe Smith" #Name 1

sname2 "Mr. Magoo" #Name 2

sprogrammer #Target for string

 

fstrsel sname0 pick sprogrammer

---

Then use 'sprogrammer' where you want to output.

[specv]

Heavycut's way of doing it is the only one that sounds like what i want. i dont want my post asking me questions about who i am...lol. I figured this would be farely easy. The only thing i need to know is how to post a word for the value in misc integers.

[Steve Biehl - Cimquest Inc]

Like my string select table.

 

code:

---

sname0    "None"          #No programmer

sname1 "Joe Smith" #Name 1

sname2 "Mr. Magoo" #Name 2

sprogrammer #Target for string

fstrsel sname0 mi5 sprogrammer

---

Using the mi? variable instead of a prompted one.

[Code_Breaker]

Pete,

 

You will be surprised how easy the code is that I posted earlier. When you post, it will ask the question at the bottom of the screen, "Enter Programmer's Number [1 for Pete Heyer, 2 for John Doe]".

 

Unless you enter 1 or 2, it will not continue.

 

Sorry, forgot this code under pcollect:

 

 

code:

---

pcollect # Collect info

while pick < 1 | pick > 2, q1 #force programmer to enter a 1 or 2

if pick = 1,

[

sprogram = "Pete Heter"

]

else,

[

sprogram = "John Doe"

]

---

I did not put how to output the name, thought you could do it on your own. But here is an example :

 

code:

---

"(PROGRAM NAME - ", sprogname, ")", e

"(PROGRAMMER'S NAME - ", *sprogram, ")", e

"(DATE=DD-MM-YY - ", date, " TIME=HH:MM - ", time, ")", e

---

If you want me to email you a copy of this in action, just sent me a request by e-mail. I'll be happy to help. So many people have help me and I just like to pass it along.

we have 10 programmers using the same post. we linked the post to the setup sheet. so when you create a setup sheet and type in the info it goes into the begining of the program.
