Search Again: untitled From: Phillip D Sanders Date: Thursday, January 20, 2000 Time: 4:49:00 am I apologize in advance for the length of my explanation here: ============================================================ I work for a small Mac based web hosting company, and I've been writing some applescripts to automate adding domains to our DNS servers running Quick DNS Pro 2.2. The primary was pretty straightforward, I made a facespan app to accept the new domain and what server it mapped to and then error check, open a template, fill it out, save it and be done. No problem (except that I was quite rusty at AS and had to re-learn the basics...) Anyway, I've been working on the secondary for some time now and it's still not working. Actually adding a new domain is simple, simpler than primary, but the QDNS admin app dosn't present any options for viewing the domains in sortable order, so the boss asked for me to alphabetize it and maintain that alphabetization. I exported the secondary domains (included script failed - had to roll my own...) I then had to import them in alphabetical order (another applescript) At first it maintained my 0-9, A-Z order, then it mysteriously swapped to Z-A,9-0 order!!! I looked hi & lo for documentation or a reason, and found neither. Assumed it was a one-time fluke and went to work on the maintenance script, switching everything to work in Z-A order. I got the script to 90% functional, just down to adding robust error checking and on error handlers... Then it mysteriously switched back to 0-9,A-Z order. I'm worried now that it's going to do worse than reverse the sort by domain, to start sorting by IP or some other insane criteria. Any tips or tricks to making it maintain the secondary in a stable order??? Thanks in advance! ~Phi ============================= Phillip D Sanders PagePlanet / PagePlop Phone: (919) 233-6602 Email: phillip@pageplanet.com
