Okay never mind I see the problem. The openStack command would have to be in a
frontscript because it won't get triggered in the currently open stack
containing the stack name as a stack file. Did that make sense? Still, it can
be done. Insert this into a frontScript after which you can call
getLastStackInfo() with one of 4 values:
empty: returns an array of all 3 of the following items
stackname: a string containing the stackname
path: the path to the stack
filename: the name of the file (minus the path)
anything else: empty
NOTE: You can get fancy with this by excluding uielements but this is just
quick and dirty.
-----insert the following into front scripts
local theLastOpenedStackName, theLastOpenedStackPath, theLastOpenedFileName
ON openStack
put the short name of this stack into theLastOpenedStackName
put word 6 to -1 of the long name of the target into theLastOpenedStackPath
replace quote WITH empty in theLastOpenedStackPath
put theLastOpenedStackPath into theLastOpenedFileName
replace "/" WITH cr in theLastOpenedFileName
delete line 1 to -2 of theLastOpenedFileName
pass openStack
END openStack
FUNCTION getLastStackInfo whichParameter
global gStackInfo
SWITCH whichParameter
CASE ""
put theLastOpenedStackName into theResult["stackname"]
put theLastOpenedStackPath into theResult["path"]
put theLastOpenedFileName into theResult["filename"]
break
CASE "stackname"
put theLastOpenedStackName into theResult
break
CASE "path"
put theLastOpenedStackPath into theResult
break
CASE "filename"
put theLastOpenedFileName into theResult
break
DEFAULT
put empty into theResult
END SWITCH
put theResult into gStackInfo
return theResult
END getLastStackInfo
-----end of front scripts
