Multiple strings?

[Conceptzx]

Is it possible to define multiple strings such as machine ID's? So it's (private string 1st, or 2nr, or 3rd) to allow the same line of guard code? Or do I have to define each as a string line and each have their own logic with an Or (||) between them?

Hello Conceptzx,

If you have multiple strings you need stored, you can declare separate variables to hold these or you can use a collection such as a List<string> or string[] array.

With a collection you can loop through the elements with a for loop or foreach loop.

OK, so
#
private string[] MachineID = new string[] { "mid1", "mid2" } ;
If(Cbi.License.MachineID != Console.WriteLine(MachineID[] );
#
Is that all?

Never mind, I got it... Thanks for the quick response

private string[] allowedMachineIDs = new string[] { "mID1", "mID2" };

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
string currentMachineID = Cbi.License.MachineId;
bool isMachineIDAllowed = false;
foreach (string id in allowedMachineIDs) { if (currentMachineID == id) { isMachineIDAllowed = true; break; } }
if (!isMachineIDAllowed)
{
Print("Unauthorized access detected!");​
}

Can this be moved to a different section so that it isn't called upon every time the bar updates? Say like a daily recheck?

Hello Conceptzx,

If this is put in State.DataLoaded it would only evaluate when the script is enabled.

For a once a day check, you would need to put this in OnBarUpdate() and add a 1 day series and check this when BarsInProgress is 1.
Or you could use a C# timer.
