Elements
Element <export_format>
Info | Placed inside the <card> to determine how the card format will be displayed when exporting to a text file. Uses the standard printf and sprintf format (www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/printf/). “#card_name” should be used when displaying the card. When using an element that starts with “custom_control”, a user can use the # character to get to the value or units. |
Versions | 1, 2 |
Attributes | ignore_on_read |
Children | none |
Used by | card |
Example 1 |
<edit_box> <unique_name>MyEditBox</unique_name> </edit_box> … <card> <card_name>FIFTH_GRAIN</card_name> <export_format>”%s %lf\n", #card_name, MyEditBox</export_format> </card> |
Example 2 |
If the edit_box has the value of 15, this would print out: FIFTH_GRAIN 15 |
Example 3 |
If export_format was changed to this: <export_format>”%s \”%lf\” // comment\n", #card_name, MyEditBox </export_format> FIFTH_GRAIN “15” // comment |
Example 4 |
<control_length> <unique_name>MyLength</unique_name> ... </control_length> … <card> <card_name>ADAPTATION_LENGTH_TOTAL</card_name> <export_format>”%s %lf, %s\n", #card_name, MyLength#value, MyLength#units</export_format> </card> ADAPTATION_LENGTH_TOTAL 25 cm |
Element <export_group>
Info | A way of grouping optional exports. |
Versions | 2 |
Attributes | ignore_on_read |
Children | Any element beginning with “process_” and required. |
Used by | Any element beginning with “process_”. |
Example |
Element <export_location>
Info | Relative or absolute path of the export file (CMCARDS). Can be used multiple times if exporting to more than 1 file location. Keywords can be #PROJECT_NAME and #GEOMETRY. |
Versions | 1, 2 |
Attributes | none |
Children | none |
Used by | group, card, input_file, output_file. If it used just within group or link_to (version 1), then everything within the element will use the same export location unless specified in the child group or item card. |
Example 1 |
<export_location>\\Ideal__Inlet.cmcards</export_location> |
Example 2 |
<export_location>\\#PROJECT_NAME_#GEOMETRY.cmcards</export_location> <export_location>”\\%s__%s.cmcards”, #PROJECT_NAME, #GEOMETRY</export_location> |
Element <export_optional>
Info | Indicator of text that might be included. If it has default as a child, then SMS will write out the text included in this element. |
Versions | 2 |
Attributes | ignore_on_read |
Children | Any element beginning with “process_”, export_format, default, separator. |
Used by | Any element beginning with “process_”. |
Example |
Element <export_text>
Info | Used to write out a different name to the export file than the “text” displayed to the user. |
Versions | 1, 2 |
Attributes | none |
Children | none |
Used by | option |
Example | We have a combo box and one of the options is Equilibrium which is selected. If the file is exported and the <export_text> card is omitted we would write out:
FORMULATION Equilibrium However, if we wanted to write out EQ instead, we would use the <export_text> tag. The exported line would look like: FORMULATION EQ <combo_box> <unique_name>formulationUnits</unique_name> <option> <text>Equilibrium</text> <export_text>EQ</export_text> </option> … <card> <card_name>FORMULATION</card_name> <export_format>"%s %s\n, #card_name, formulationUnits </card> </combo_box> |
