Indexing RobotStudio Paths

jwinne

I have used RobotStudio to develop my paths and now would like to write

a simple PROC to index through those paths.



RobotStudio created, "Path1", "Path2", "Path3", etc. I have 290 paths. And

rather than write a PROC with 290 lines of code, I would like to do

something like:



FOR X FROM 1 to 290 DO

PATH{x}

ENDFOR



But how do you identify a PROC as a VAR? Or can you? This would make

my code much shorter. And easier to read. I have several similar

scenarios like this in my program.

Hi,

Use the rapid instruction CallByVar.

Here is the description from the reference manual:

CallByVar - Call a procedure by a variable
CallByVar (Call By Variable) can be used to call procedures with specific names, e.g.
proc_name1, proc_name2, proc_name3 ... proc_namex via a variable.
Example

reg1 := 2;

CallByVar "proc", reg1;
The procedure proc2 is called.

Hello!

I dont know if this is the best or shortest syntax to handle it but you can do something like this!

MODULE Index
    LOCAL VAR num nPath;
 
    PROC main()
       nPath:=0;
       FOR i FROM 1 TO 290 DO
          incr nPath;
          %"Path"+NumToStr(nPath,0)%;
       ENDFOR
   ENDPROC
ENDMODULE

MODULE Paths
    PROC Path1()
       ! Your instructions
    ENDPROC
 
    PROC Path2()
       ! Your instructions
    ENDPROC
 
    PROC Path3()
       ! Your instructions
    ENDPROC  
  
    ! TO Path 290
ENDMODULE

Thanks! Along those same lines I have set up an array of

"alt_stop{290}" which is used to change "stop1", "stop2", "stop3", etc. In

using the "Offs" function I would like to use the same index format, like:



For x FROM 1 to 290 DO

alt_stop{x}:= Offs(stop{x}, 0, 10, 10);

ENDFOR



However, "stop" is a constant and therefore not indexable. There are 290

"stop"s. RobotStudio generated "stop" so there is not much I can do with

them.
