Homeseer script question?

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Hope some of you Homeseer / VBscript bods can help me out here...

I'm trying to use a global variable for inter-script communication between
a
related set of scripts, and while I'm not getting any errors, I'm also not
getting any values into/out of the variable!

I create the variable in the Homeseer Startup.txt startup script with:
s=hs.createvar("wc_internal")

This appears to work OK, - IE returns a null string as the value of
"s"

I then have another script, that sets the value of this variable with:
s=hs.savevar("wc_internal", "XXXXXX") - where XXXXXX is
any string.

Again, this appears to work OK, in that it returns a null string as the
value of "s"

finally, I have a third script which checks the value of the variable with:
s=hs.getvar("wc_internal")

But in this instance I am ALWAYS getting an empty string as the result, - I
surely should get the string value I assigned above!?

Am I missing something fundamental here? - global variables, once created
should be remain instantiated for the lifetime of the Homeseer application
right? - and should be available to all scripts, right?

Someone want to tell me something that makes me say "DOH!"  ??

Cheers,

Paul G.
