clearing VBScript object
|
I am writing a VBScript based on "Darker's Directions" in the Finished Scripts Forum.
"Darker's Directions (Realms Of Despair)"
http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=12092
Example Script:
| Code: |
#alias {showfile} {
#script {strHTML = ~"~"}
#script {Sub getHTML:Set objHTTP = CreateObject~(~"MSXML2.XMLHTTP~"):objHTTP.Open ~"GET~", ~"http:~/~/www.mymudsite.com~/file.html~", ~"FALSE~":objHTTP.Send:strHTML = objHTTP.ResponseText:Set objHTTP = Nothing:End Sub}
#mss {getHTML}
#show %mss(strHTML)} |
If the contents of file.html is "Hello World", then the alias downloads the file from the server and shows "Hello World".
Problem:
If the server changes the contents of the file, then the alias still shows "Hello World".
I want to download the file from the server each time I call the alias.
How do you clear an object from memory? (without re-starting zMUD)
Thanks, F.T. |

Okay, I got it to work 
Solution:
| Code: |
#alias {showfile} {
#script {strHTML = ~"~"}
#script {Sub getHTML:Set objHTTP = CreateObject~(~"MSXML2.XMLHTTP~"):objHTTP.Open ~"GET~", ~"http:~/~/www.mymudsite.com~/file.html?%time(hhnnss)~", ~"FALSE~":objHTTP.Send:strHTML = objHTTP.ResponseText:Set objHTTP = Nothing:End Sub}
#mss {getHTML}
#show %mss(strHTML)} |
This will download the file from the server each time I call the alias.
Thanks to Darker for posting his script. |

Use the ServerXMLHTTP object instead of just XMLHTTP.
