Problem with Reply and LastReply

[Hippo]

I have a vb-script to get the actual os.caption and servicepack like: "Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Servicepack: 1"
to get a Warning in HM if BuildNumber and/or Servicepack changes i use the expression (%LastReply% <> %Reply%) doesnt work - "Unknown Operator - if i use ("%LastReply%" <> "%Reply%") i get an Invalid Expression too.

What´s going wrong !?

Could you provide more information, please?
- What version of HostMonitor do you use?
- What Windows do you use? Service Pack?
- Is HostMonitor started as a service or as an application?
- What exact test method do you use to start VB script? "Active Script"? "Schell Script"?
- May I see the test settings? You may export test settings into text file using menu File -> Export into text file.

Regards,
Max

- Windows is Windows XP Professional Servicepack 1

We recommend to upgrade your system to Service Pack 3 or, at least, service pack 2.

WarningExpr = ("%LastReply% <> %Reply%")

You should use

Code: Select all

('%SuggestedReply%'=='%LastReply%')

or

Code: Select all

("%SuggestedReply%"=="%LastReply%")

expression.

Thank you Max !
The expressionwith single quotes works right - the doublequotes not.

The expressionwith single quotes works right

Glad to hear that!

- the doublequotes not.

Hm. Probably, "Reply" contains quotation marks inside... Ok, we will check the code in order to protect special characters.
Thank you for your feedback.

P.S. It was my fault, you obviously should use "<>" instead of "==" in your expression.
