Javascript result as CUSTOM Data

T

In a previous post I found how to create an ini file on the app version from a certain app.

javascript:

var app = mobicontrol.app.getInstalledApp('com.sygic.fleet');
var appVersion = app.versionName
var data = '[DATA]\nVERSION=' + appVersion;
var file = new mobicontrol.io.File('/sdcard/sygicappVersion.ini');
file.writeText(data);

Which gives me an ini file with this data:

[DATA]
VERSION=22.3.9

Problem is I'm stuck on how to get this as a custom data field ?

Anyone who can help me on this one ?

Based on your ini file format the section name should be DATA and the value name should be VERSION. I also am not sure that will be registered as an Integer type. You may need to have the value read in as a String.

Fully agree to what Matt wrote here and in your script in the second line a ; is missing.

And to add as well, you can usu ini functions in javascript instead of doing text operations. Example:

var ini = require('ini');
var iniFile = new mobicontrol.io.File('/Path/Filename.ini');
if (!iniFile.exists) {
    iniFile.createFile();
}
var config = ini.parse(iniFile.readText());
config.Section1= { Key1: 'Value' };
config.Section2= { Key2: 'Value' };
config.SectionN= { KeyN: 'Value' };
iniFile.writeText(ini.stringify(config));

@Rafael: what do you mean by on the second line a is missing ?

in your script there is a missing ; at the end in line 2:

var appVersion = app.versionName;

I used your JS to query an app's version and save it as a file, I then used the following custom data settings and it was able to read the file and display the info.
