Script in a Report page

[[Ke...]]

I have a multi stage report and I want to generate a list of stages included in the report.

Previously we have inserted screen shots to show this list but this is manual, can easily be forgotten and is not elegant!

I want to insert a script to generate a list of active stages such as the below:

>import gom

>for i in range(len(gom.app.project.stages)):

>>  if (gom.app.project.stages[i].is_active):

>>      filetxt=(gom.app.project.stages[i].name)

>>     print(filetxt)

 

Any thoughts how i can achieve this?

You have to use Python. This is what I understand you have to do: create a txt file in a specific directory and print inside it the number of the stages. This is the simple code I have done for your usage:

import gom

stages=(len(gom.app.project.stages))

f = open("F:\Coacarqb\Marco\File.txt", "w")
f.write (str(stages))
f.close()

Is that useful for you?

Keith, 

This will give you a list of the stage names, as they are set to active, and save it to a text file. I hope this helps.

 

import gom

active_stages = []

for i in range(len(gom.app.project.stages)):
	gom.script.sys.show_stage (stage=gom.app.project.stages[i])
	gom.script.sys.set_stage_as_reference (stage=gom.app.project.stages[i])
	active_stages.append(gom.app.project.stage)
	

textfile = open("C:/Users/ZEISS/Documents/GOM/Results/stages.txt", "w")
for stage in active_stages:
	textfile.write(stage + "\n")
textfile.close()

Thank you both, however I cannot get either code to work "(unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec cannot decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape " 

I added "r" to the string to make them raw and then

's fails because a disabled stage cannot be made active.

to give me a list in the text file.

I'm looking for a Table of Contents style of finished page, so do you know of a way to get the information from the text file into the GOM Report (without manual copy/paste)?

Hello Keith,

One solution is to pass the text into a user defined Keyword. The Keyword can be placed as usual in a report page.

Hi Nanno,

Please sign in to view this quote.

When I create a new Keyword, I see an option for text, date, or number. I assume I would set it to text, but how would I direct it to the text file?

Hi Mark,

the text can be directly assigned to the keyword without a text file. Record the creation of a keyword and you can switch the string for a variable, which would be the name of a stage for example.
