Greetings,

Is it possible to save Cache code into a file and then run it via command line?  

IE:  csession [ini] -U [ini] /path/cacheCodeFile.?

What I need to do is run a Cache script from the Linux command line.  The script will navigate data to produce a file and then it will exit back to the command line.

Thanks in advance for everyone's time.

Greetings,  

What methods are available to position a cursor on a screen to begin writing as not to disrupt other areas of the screen?  I have used ?# , ie: ?5 but this is destructive from the let to character 5.  I would like to enter a command that will position at row,col and then start writing?  Can I create a window in a window type display to write text and then when done viewing, remove it?

Please advise,

Thanks in advance for everyone's time.

Greetings,

If given a global, how can I discover information on that global?  More specifically,  how can I discover how many indices it contains?  ie:  ^G(1,2,3,4,5)   How can I discover that there are 5 subscripts within the Global ^G if I did not already know.

Please advise, and thanks in advance for everyone's time.

Greetings,

How do I organize a wildcard search with respect to a database search?

Example of what I am trying to do:  s x=$o(^G("ABC","A*",x))

Trying to navigate through the ^G global for all occurrences of "ABC", and "A*" ("A"+wildcard) but I am new to M and don't know positively how to do this.  Perhaps I don't use an "*" at all, rather; another convention altogether.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance for everyone's assistance.

Greetings,

Can someone please show me via coding example(s) how to write an input prompt that will read in a function key, F7 for example, validate that the key pressed is F7 and then process it all via cache.
