Examine Fields

[new_guy]

Hello,

I've tried to create a monitoring app for my apps. Whithin this app there should be a filter pane which should have version numbers in it. Since we had many different developers over the past year we do not exactly have something like a general naming of our apps. 

So for example we have "App-Name v0.11", "App Name v11.00", "AppName_v0.11" and so on. I've already tried something like:

if("App Name" like '*v?*.*', Subfield(Right("App Name",5),' ')),

to only get the version part of the name of the app. But since we have so many different spellings its hard to find a general way using Subfield or things like that. Any suggestions how to generally check if there is a multiple number of versions?

Is this a one-time deal or something that you would want to do often and repeatedly?  I'm asking because if it's a one-time thing, you can use the Engine API Explorer to get a list of all the apps.

Running the "Get applist" Macro after hitting the Connect to Engine should give you a JSON result which will contain the apps list which you can then parse.  I would post a Powershell example of connecting to a QS installation, getting the applist,  and parsing out the appname.  But connecting to the app engine through Powershell seems incredibly obnoxious and the examples on the internet are super minimal and useless.

That is definetly one way to do this. Thanks for that 🙂

In fact we already use this within other apps. What I am trying right now is to get this information out of data within the load-script.
