RE: [script] how to create a scripted op with vbscript?

["Sebastian Faber" <sebastian.faber(at)liga01.de>]

there is an other way which is a bit more comfortable if you are writing
complex scops. You can save the scop in an external file and connect it to
the scene:

     myScriptedOpPath="f:\projectZ\SCOP_WhatEver.vbs"
     set sop = XSIFactory.CreateScriptedOpFromFile("MyOperator",
myScriptedOpPath, "VBScript")

     set group1 = sop.AddPortGroup( "MainGroup" )
     sop.AddOutputPort oObj.ActivePrimitive, "OutPolygonMesh", group1.index
     sop.AddInputPort oObj & "." & ... , group1.index
     sop.connect()


The scripted operator file has to look similar like this

    function MyOperator_Update( ctx, out, in1 )
     LogMessage in1
     ..
    end function



Remember the scop file has to be on a network drive.


Sebastian

thanks Stephen I'll try it out later today - but it looks like just what I 
needed.

something I was having difficulties with was how to use the " character 
within a string.
the Chr(10)'s are enters / end of line, right?

Is it the (only?) correct way to put the code as a sub on the bottom pane of

the scripted operator editor?

Until now I just typed my code in the top pane, and that worked, but  I 
noticed that when applying a scop through scripting it puts the code in the 
bottom pane. So I was a bit confused by that.

it sounds trivial, but I spent all day trying to get it to work,
applying a scripted operator from a script, in vbscript.
contrary to most of the docs that have plenty vbscript examples, I didnt
find an example of how to this.
its the command I'm after, but rather how to feed it the code part.

if someone could point me in the right direction, and where to find
"scripted operators for newbies" info?
you're very welcome to RTFM me :-)
