Facility Control

Down a rabbit hole again ....
I thought I might have been sending data too quickly, but that has turns out to be unlikely.

So now, I'm trying to write a simple xml file with only two tags when I click on a selection from a table. The functionality of the table is fine and does what I want it to but now I'd like to write that choice out to a xml file.

I'm basing my scripting off the "Write an XML File.grid" sample and the task is triggered by a button push in that sample. I'd like to trigger the task from the mouse click for selected table row. This is how my script looks (as it isn't working)

var RowNum = params.getValue('table', 0);
   var listname = params.getValue('cols.0', RowNum) + " " + params.getValue('cols.1', RowNum);
   var listtitle = params.getValue('cols.2', RowNum)
   var savefile = "file2.xml"
//
   params.setValue('fname10', 0, listname);
   params.setValue('title10', 0, listtitle);
   params.setValue('xmlfile', 0, savefile);
//
//
      <task tasktype="ogscript">//Create a toplevel node, called "SelectedName"
var xmlDoc = ogscript.parseXML('&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;SelectedName/&gt;');
var ListSelection = xmlDoc.getDocumentElement();
var savefile = "file1.xml"

//Create a Name node and fill with the selected name
var selname = xmlDoc.createElement('Name');
selname.setTextContent('listname');
ListSelection.appendChild(selname);

//Create a Title node and fill with the select title
var seltitle = xmlDoc.createElement('Title');
seltitle.setTextContent('listtitle');
ListSelection.appendChild(seltitle);

// save the xml to file
//var file = params.getValue("savefile",0);
ogscript.saveToFile(savefile, ListSelection, true);
</task>
//
//         
   ogscript.debug('This is the variable value: ' + RowNum);
   ogscript.debug('Selected Name is: ' + listname + '/' + listtitle);
   ogscript.debug('Name to write to file is: ' + listname)
   ogscript.debug('Title to write to file is: ' + listtitle)
   ogscript.debug('XML File Name is: ' + savefile);

So the question is: How do I trigger this 'file save' based on my selection from a table??

As I've said --- I'm a pretty good "monkey see - monkey do" but an absolutely terrible programmer/code /script writer.
Hope I've made this relatively clear....
Thanks for anyone's help on this!!

p.s. How do I determine a static path for the written file

If anyone likes this concept of writing out an xml file of a selected entry from a table, I finally got this working basing it off the sample "Write an XML File.grid". To trigger the file write, I added a new task for the Table so it would trigger on the selection.

Here is the working code (not pretty or cleaned up but it does work and write out a file)...

   <task tasktype="ogscript">var RowNum = params.getValue('table', 0);
   var listname = params.getValue('cols.0', RowNum) + " " + params.getValue('cols.1', RowNum);
   var listtitle = params.getValue('cols.2', RowNum)
//
   params.setValue('fname10', 0, listname);
   params.setValue('title10', 0, listtitle);
//
   ogscript.debug('This is the variable value: ' + RowNum);
   ogscript.debug('Selected Name is: ' + listname + '/' + listtitle);</task>
   <task tasktype="ogscript">//Create a toplevel node, called "game"
var xmlDoc = ogscript.parseXML('&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;PickedName/&gt;');
var gameElement = xmlDoc.getDocumentElement();
var xmlfile = "SelectedName.xml"
var RowNum = params.getValue('table', 0);
   var listname = params.getValue('cols.0', RowNum) + " " + params.getValue('cols.1', RowNum);
   var listtitle = params.getValue('cols.2', RowNum)

//Create a home node with a short and long name attribute, with some text content.
var homeTeam = xmlDoc.createElement('SelName');
homeTeam.setTextContent(listname);
gameElement.appendChild(homeTeam);

//Create an away node with a short and long name attribute, with 10 player subelements.
var awayTeam = xmlDoc.createElement('SelTitle');
awayTeam.setTextContent(listtitle)
gameElement.appendChild(awayTeam);

// save the xml to file
var file = xmlfile;
ogscript.saveToFile(file, gameElement, true);

//Debug statements
ogscript.debug('This is the Selected Name: ' + listname);
ogscript.debug('This is the Selected Title: ' + listtitle);
ogscript.debug('This is the XML File Name: ' + file);</task>
</param>
