geLoadNextProbe( 
[ w_window ] 
[ p_port ] 
[ s_prop ] 
[ s_cond ]
[ g_value ] 
[ s_loadCount ] 
)
=> t / nil 

Description

Loads a probe into a window. Identical to geLoadProbe except that s_loadCount is a symbol containing the index of the probe to be loaded.

s_loadCount is incremental if successful.

Arguments

w_windowId	Database ID of the window containing the probes you want loaded.
p_port	Port to load the probe information through.
s_prop	Property to be examined to decide whether to load probe.
s_cond	Condition that must be satisfied if the probe is to be loaded.
g_value	Value of the property tested against the condition to decide whether to load the probe.
s_loadCount	Variable containing the index of the probe to load.

Value Returned

t	A probe was found and loaded.
nil	A probe was not found and loaded.

Examples

Loads the first probe in file /tmp/myProbes.out that has the user-defined property myProp equal to the string critical, then increments ct to 1.

m = infile( "/tmp/myProbes.out" )

ct = 0

geLoadNextProbe( window(3) m ’myProp ’equal "critical" ’ct)
