getValue bug?

[Guest]

It is because length is not a method, it is an array property. Here is a link to an Array Tutorial

ok thanks Wayne.

I wanted to find out why the script ended prematurely when I try and find the length of the array ...

var len = aClose.length();

[futurenets]

not sure how that helps?

also Wayne makes some interesting comments.

could eSignal please take a look.

sorry Steve, the brackets make no difference ...

just tried it and the old problem is back again ...

var aClose = getValue("close", 0, -nLength, sSI);
produced debug output

var aClose = getValue("close", -nLength, nLength, sSI);
does not produce debug output

var len = aClose.length;
does not produce debug output

really need eSignal to look at this otherwise the problem will float around messing up efs code.

futurenets,

A property is a value. A method is a function that you call using parenthesis.

If you refer to a property incorrectly, you have a good chance of your script end prematurely.

Please read the tutorial and let me know if this makes sense.

And if that does not work for you, you do not have an array object.

yes Steve you're right but (without barckets) the probem still exists.

also this wasn't working, then it was, now it isn't ...

var aClose = getValue("close", -nLength, nLength, sSI);
does not produce debug output

var len = aClose.length;
does not produce debug output

[futurenets]

ok I'm running out of time so if anyone wants to help, please load the attached efs and post the results here.

You'll get an "efs passed" or "efs failed" message.

Please keep your response as simple as possible.

Thanks Steve,

I tested various combinations and they all seems to work on my end. Great tutorial.

ok thanks, can I ask if you got "efs passed" ?

[futurenets]

2 of my colleagues in the US just got "efs failed" using a 60min ES #F chart.

Alex expended quite a bit of time to demonstrate how your code worked (as you previously had it coded without the Array property reference) earlier in the thread. Then there was the problem with how you were trying to access the Array length property.

Wayne was gracious in performing some extensive troubleshooting and he posted his code and his testing results.

Seems at this point, the problems you are having are either due to a corrupted workspace, or you are having some other problem(s) that's difficult nor possible to troubleshoot here.

Not sure what you should try at this point short of rebooting your machine and performing some systematic and rigorous troubleshooting.

Coded as you posted it it will fail however once you make the change shown in the enclosed animation it will pass every time (as you can see in the animation itself).
You may want to search the forum as to why this is as this topic has come up in the past and eSignal has provided an explanation
As to all the other examples you have posted throughout the thread they too are working [after making the necessary corrections to your code as per Steve's suggestions]

sorry Alex, noticed that you not using a 60min ES #F chart.

can I ask if you could please try that.
