Also, if the first line doesn't start with "0 error", if instead the first
line could look like "Plan Harmony.pln - 0 error", then instead of using
the Python module's startswith() method, you'll need to use the find()
method. And, instead of looking for string '0 error', you should look for
string ' 0 error' (note the blank before the 0 so that you won't match of
the first line contains 10 errors, etc). For example:
<stafcmd name = "'Get the result file'">
<location>'local'</location>
<service>'FS'</service>
<request>'GET FILE %s TEXT' % resultTxT</request>
</stafcmd>
<if expr="RC == 0">
<sequence>
<log message="1">
'File %s contains %s characters. File contents:\n%s' % (resultTxT,
len(STAFResult), STAFResult)
</log>
<script>
noErrors = 0
lineList = STAFResult.splitlines() # Get a list of the lines in
the file
if len(lineList) > 0: # Make sure there is at
least 1 line
if lineList[0].find(' 0 error') != -1: # See if line 1 contains " 0
error"
noErrors = 1 # Line 1 contains " 0 error"
</script>
<if expr="noErrors">
<log message="1">'0 error'</log>
<else>
<log message="1">'Errors'</log>
</else>
</if>
</sequence>
<else>
<log message="1">'Error getting contents of file %s, RC=%s Result=%s' %
(resultTxT, RC, STAFResult)</log>
</else>
</if>

Subject: Re: [staf-users] Getting the file contents
STAFResult contains a string containing the contents of the file. If you
look at Python documentation for the len() function (just google), you'll
see that it returns the number of characters in a given string.
You can also look at Python documentation to find ways to read a string
line by line or to split up a multi-line string. For example, the
splitlines() function is designed to split a multi-line string into a list
element where each item in the list contains a line in the string. For
example:
STAFResult.splitlines() # --> ['Line 1', 'Line 2', 'Line 3']
Also, don't specify FORMAT " " on the FS GET FILE TEXT request as that
changes line ending characters to a blank. You want the line ending
characters to be in the string so you can split the string by line ending
character(s).
<stafcmd name = "'Get the result file'">
<location>'local'</location>
<service>'FS'</service>
<request>'GET FILE %s TEXT' % resultTxT</request>
</stafcmd>
<if expr="RC == 0">
<sequence>
<log message="1">
'File %s contains %s characters. File contents:\n%s' % (resultTxT,
len(STAFResult), STAFResult)
</log>
<script>
noErrors = 0
lineList = STAFResult.splitlines(True) # Get a list of the lines in
the file
if len(lineList) > 0: # Make sure there is at
least 1 line
if lineList[0].startswith('0 error'): # See if line 1 starts with
"0 error"
noErrors = 1 # Line 1 starts with "0
error"
</script>
<if expr="noErrors">
<log message="1">'0 error'</log>
<else>
<log message="1">'Errors'</log>
</else>
</if>
</sequence>
<else>
<log message="1">'Error getting contents of file %s, RC=%s Result=%s' %
(resultTxT, RC, STAFResult)</log>
</else>
</if>

Subject: [staf-users] Getting the file contents
Hi,
I use STAF command "Get File" to retrieve the contents of the file
<stafcmd name = "'Parse the result file'">
<location>'local'</location>
<service>'FS'</service>
<request>'GET FILE %s TEXT FORMAT " "' %
resultTxT</request>
</stafcmd>
<if expr="RC == 0">
<log message="1">'Get file successfully, file contains %s
%s' % (STAFResult, len(STAFResult)<log>
</if>
what does the function len(STAFResult) return? The total number of
characters, or the total number of lines?
What I am trying to do is to get the first line of the attach txt file and
check if it contains string "0 error". Can you suggest what is the best
way to do it?
Thanks,
Cindy
