Kix script default printer |
|
|
Hi
Trying to set default printer in kix script by name of workstation
I can achive this no problems by using the exact workstation name for MS99
for example.....
IF @WkSTA="MS99"
IF SetDefaultPrinter ("\\ml350\hp black laser") = 0
ENDIF
I want to be able to say "any computer name that starts with MSXXXXX where x
is workstation number....
does any one know how to define xxxx as a variable? I have tried using MS??
MS$ MS, all to no avail..
Any help or pointer would be great ....
Cheers.... |

Alan, why not use LEFT("string", length)
IF "MS" = LEFT(@WkSTA, 2)
IF SetDefaultPrinter ("\\ml350\hp black laser") = 0
ENDIF
