Hello,
I have searched to forum previosly but have found little in the way on
concrete examples. This might just be my inexperience hence the 'Newbie'
in the title. I want to introduce Ruby into my Python addicted office.
One way I would like to acheive that is by converting some of our useful
scripts to Ruby.
The script essentially calls a dll which was created internally long ago
by our engineers. It controlls a peice of hardware and also quesries it
based on an API which we provide. If I can quickly convert it to Ruby it
would help me to prove its worth. Please have patience with me if I am
being a bit thick here. Here is the initial crux of the code in Python
which I want to Rubify:
···
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
import os
import sys
import re
import time
from ctypes import *
from datetime import datetime
from threading import Thread
#Open a file for logging
AutomationLogsPath = os.getcwd()
#Open a file for logging
currentTime = time.strftime('%d.%m.%y_%H_%M_%S')
filename = AutomationLogsPath + "\\WCDMA_DATACALL" + currentTime +
".log"
fp = open(filename,"a")
#Change the current working directory to the one containing dlls.
os.chdir("C:\\Program Files\\Aeroflex\\7100\\Remote Control\\Bin")
try:
h_rrcApi = windll.LoadLibrary('afRrcApiInterfaceDll.Dll')
h_wcdmaApi = windll.LoadLibrary('afWCDMAApiInterfaceDll.dll')
h_ControlLib = windll.LoadLibrary('afApplicationControlDll.Dll')
except WindowsError:
time = datetime.now().isoformat()
fp.write(time + "\tLoadLibrary failed to find the dll!\n")
print "LoadLibrary failed to find the dll!\n"
fp.close()
exit(-1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for reading this.
