Function other result calling from Menu or from ButtonMenu

[scientific]

Hi Guys!

I have a very strange behavior here…

From Fvwm-Nightshade i took some Functions for my Konfiguration. There is a Function, which writes the changed Value from an variable in Infostore to an file in the FVWM_USERDIR.

I wrote this Menu-Entry for the Submenu:

DestroyMenu recreate DECOSET_popup
AddToMenu DECOSET_popup "Position der Titelleiste" Title
+ DynamicPopupAction Function FuncDeco

##############################################
## Menü-Titelposition
##############################################
DestroyFunc FuncDeco
AddToFunc FuncDeco
+ I DestroyMenu recreate DECOSET_popup
+ I AddToMenu DECOSET_popup "$[infostore.used_theme]" Title
+ I Piperead '\
 echo AddToMenu DECOSET_popup \\"Oben - $[infostore.used_theme]\\" FuncChangeDecor \\"$[infostore.used_theme]\\" \\"Top\\"; \
 echo AddToMenu DECOSET_popup \\"Links - $[infostore.used_theme]\\" FuncChangeDecor \\"$[infostore.used_theme]\\" \\"Left\\"; \
 echo AddToMenu DECOSET_popup \\"Rechts - $[infostore.used_theme]\\" FuncChangeDecor \\"$[infostore.used_theme]\\" \\"Right\\"; \
 echo AddToMenu DECOSET_popup \\"Unten - $[infostore.used_theme]\\" FuncChangeDecor \\"$[infostore.used_theme]\\" \\"Bottom\\"; '

And i call the submenu “DECOSET_popup” in two different Menus.

One is in the Workmenu, the other is in a window-ops bound on Button 2 in the title.

The call is

+ "Titelleiste - Position"              Popup DECOSET_popup

The call is exact the same in both menus.

The function which is called from FuncChangeDecor, and which writes to the file and InfoStore is this:

DestroyFunc FuncWriteInfoStoreToFileAndSet
AddToFunc   FuncWriteInfoStoreToFileAndSet
+ I PipeRead 'new=`echo "$1" | xargs`; \
                        if [ `grep -c $0 $2` -gt 0 ] ; then \
                                sed -i --follow-symlinks "s#^InfoStoreAdd $0.*#InfoStoreAdd $0 \\"$new\\"#" $2; \
                        else \
                                sed -i --follow-symlinks "$ a\InfoStoreAdd $0 \\"$new\\"" $2; \
                        fi; \
                        echo InfoStoreAdd $0 "$new"; '

The Arguments $0, $1 and $2 are
$0 … Variablename for Infostore
$1 … Value
$2 … Settingsfile

A Debugcode gives me, that this 3 Variables are correct filled, when the function is called.

But the strage thing now…
The InfoStoreAdd does not work here either. This is set in the calling Function FuncChangeDecor

DestroyFunc FuncChangeDecor
AddToFunc   FuncChangeDecor
+ I PipeRead 'echo InfoStoreAdd used_theme $0'
+ I PipeRead 'echo InfoStoreAdd tpos $1'
+ I FuncSetThemeDir $[infostore.used_theme]
+ I FuncRemoveAllButtons
+ I Load $[FV_THEMEDIR]/config
+ I FuncWriteInfoStoreToFileAndSet used_theme $0 $[FVWM_USERDIR]/.settings
+ I FuncWriteInfoStoreToFileAndSet tpos $1 $[FVWM_USERDIR]/.settings
+ I ReloadLayoutParts $[infostore.used_layout]

Calling FuncChangeDecor from the WORK_MENU, changes the value in the .settings-File ($2 in FuncWriteInfoStoreToFileAndSet).
Calling FuncChangeDecor from the Mousbinding-Menu Window-Ops, noch Change in the .settings-File, but the rest ist working…

The Errormessages are also different:

Calling FuncChangeDecor from WORK_MENU gives:

It stops at this half line…

Calling the same function from an other Menu gives:

[fvwm][expand_vars]: <<DEPRECATED>> 
Use $[w.name] instead of $n

[fvwm][expand_vars]: <<DEPRECATED>>

  Current serial number in output stream:  15554
FvwmShelf: Button too tall. Giving up
Button=1122 num_rows=62 bheight=12 h=51

I can’t find, where unterminated String should be, where the $n is and so on… the Button is too tall, i know… change this later.

Thats really astonishing for me. Calling the SAME Function the SAME Way from a Popup from two different Menus gives this differens behave… WHY???

Further more phorensic:

DestroyFunc FuncWriteInfoStoreToFileAndSet
AddToFunc FuncWriteInfoStoreToFileAndSet

• I FuncPrintMsg $0 “$1 $2”
  PipeRead ‘new=echo "$1" | xargs;
  if [ grep -c $0 $2 -gt 0 ] ; then
  echo + I FuncPrintMsg TEST1 “$0 $new”;
  sed -i --follow-symlinks “s#^InfoStoreAdd $0.*#InfoStoreAdd $0 \”$new\“#” $2;
  else
  echo + I FuncPrintMsg TEST2 “$0 $new”;
  sed -i --follow-symlinks “$ a\InfoStoreAdd $0 \”$new\“” $2;
  fi;
  echo + I FuncPrintMsg TEST3 “$0 $new”;
  echo + I InfoStoreAdd $0 “$new”;’

gives:

[Fvwm-Verve][tpos]: Left /home/jakob/.fvwm-verve/.settings
[Fvwm-Verve][TEST2]: 
[Fvwm-Verve][TEST3]: 
[fvwm][CMD_InfoStore]: <<ERROR>> 
Bad arguments given.

Looks like the variables $0-$2 are not in the shell…

Whith this debug-Code, no writing to .settings-file at all… :-/

Hmmm… looked at Fvwm-Nightshades Page for new Code… It’s almost the same. But now it works…

AddToFunc   FuncWriteInfoStoreToFileAndSet

            else \

No, it’s not the same - the $new variable has changed into $Val

The problem was that internal data was written into $new. After changing the name to $Val it was fixed. Don’t ask me why. It is too long ago …
I only know that parts of values from other variables appears in $new.
