How initialized a variable by SMS ??

Tue Jan 31, 2012 9:09 pm

I want to know How initialized a variable by sending SMS to mikrotik?

I do these steps:
1-Create a startup script in (\system\schedule) like this:
01.JPG
2-Create another script named SMSScript in (\system\scripts) like this:
02.JPG

3-Send a SMS To mikrotik,such as:
:cmd mypass script SMSScript myvar=value2

After that, the SMS received and the script runs.
But variable (myvar) did not receive the new value.

Where is the problem?????? :( :?

I don't think you're actually setting a value with the line
:global myvar
to begin with.

Try to explicitly set it to an empty string or whatever you want the new value to be, like:
:global myvar ""

Hello MikroTik forum,

it is not working also for me with suggested examples. I created Ticket#2012083066000462 for this, let's hope that we will get the solution.

There is still no update from MikroTik support team's side on [Ticket#2013010766000731]. There was no reply on reminders send on 29/May and 21/May, also no information in releaselog of ROS that the issue has been fixed. I have send another reminder to support team on 03/June, let's hope that there will be an answer. :?

Update on 4/June 2013:
I have received information from MikroTik support team, that bug is reported to developers, but there is no ETA/schedule, when the bug will be fixed :?

So, um, has this seriously NOT been working for the last 2 years?
I just tried to implement argument passing from a SMS, but I found it doesnt work.

So right now I dont know if Im doing something wrong, or if this is still broken.

So just to confirm, there is currently no way to pass an argument to a script from a SMS?

And this has been broken for 2 years?

The bug was officially reported by my ticket on 08/2012, from this time I don't have any information about bug fix. I also don't know about any other way how to pass argument via SMS to script.

After years it seems that we get this working:

1) Make sure that there is no ":local" or ":global" definition of used variables in the script code (variable name used in SMS text cannot be declared/initialized in script source code)

2) Make sure that the variables are not defined in the "/system script variable"

Example code:
:log info ("var1 = $var1, var2 = $var2");

Dear DjM,
I was looking for it since long. Can you please provide more information? What ROS version you are using? Can you please provide any sample script in which we can pass variable?

Hello cicserver,

I'm using ROS 6.27, try to use the code which I have provided in my previous post - just the ":log info" statement with two variables, nothing less, nothing more. Then send SMS in correct format (as described on Wiki) and you should see the values in the log entry.
