[Seagull-users] DIAMETER: Reading input variables from a text file

[Anjlica M. XX \(TX/EUS\) <anj...@er...>]

Hi,
I am trying to get my scripts to read input variables from external data
files.
http://gull.sourceforge.net/doc/core.html#action_restore

How do I specify the name of the external data file. Can we use multiple
input files per call instance?
Does anyone have a sample?

<restore-from-external>    Modify the value of a field with data coming
from a file=20
<restore-from-external field=3D"1" entity=3D"Volume_requested">
</restore-from-external>  =20
field 	The number of the data field used, in the data file field=3D"0"
for the first field=20
Entity	 The field of the message to which is assigned the new value
entity=3D"Volume_requested"=20
sub-entity Identifier of component parameter in which we insert some
data. sub-entity=3D"operation-data"=20
instance Instance identifier of the component to be checked.
instance=3D"InitialDP-data"=20
begin Position at which we start to inject the data.=20
Be careful, the count for the positions start at zero.=20
Example for the second position: begin=3D"1"=20
end Position at which we stop to inject the data.=20
Be careful, the count for the positions start at zero, and the last
piece of data injected is at end position minus one. end=3D"9"=20


Thanks.
