Some other unsuccessful try:
Define a function to call later after changing "directory": NO, the function when created remains on "root"
Create a script and call it later after changing "directory": NO, the script everytime start on "root"
The "change directory" is local only for :if statement
and this is executed on the "root":
:set ruleCnt [:len [find]]
this line is interpreted as:
:set ruleCnt [:len [:find "string" "what-search-inside-the-string" -1]]
and gives error because the two necessary parameters are not specified.
The solutions may vary for each case, but for the script you provided for example, you need to do like this:
# changed to global to quickly test the script on the terminal
:global pam "4"
:global ruleCnt 0
:if ($pam = "4") do={
/ip firewall mangle
:set ruleCnt [:len [find]]
}
:if ($pam = "6") do={
/ipv6 firewall mangle
:set ruleCnt [:len [find]]
}
:log info $ruleCnt
:log info "end"
It works for sure:
From a template create a new temporary script where the "directory" is set at the beginning.
For example if the script used for the model contains:
:global ruleCnt
:set ruleCnt [:len [find]]
simply add on top of new temporary script:
/ip firewall mangle
<INSERT MODEL SCRIPT HERE>
Then call the temporary script.
The source can be set like this:
:local iwantusethatdir "/ip firewall mangle"
/system script
remove [find where name="workingscript"]
add name=workingscript source="$iwantusethatdir\r\n$[get [find where name="script-model"] source]"
run workingscript
