working example of post task script?

[LaszloSebo]

This script does not work, but i need to do pretty much exactly what it promises:

thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … ptingjobs/

Could you guys post a working example? In particular, im looking for something to get the: GetStartFrame(),GetEndFrame() values

(The documentation does not list the SlaveUtils.GetCurrentJobValue function btw)

Here is the same example, modified to work:

import re
from System.IO import *
from Deadline.Scripting import *

def __main__( *args ):
    deadlinePlugin = args[0]
    outputDirectories = SlaveUtils.GetCurrentJobValue( "OutputDirectories" )
    outputFilenames = SlaveUtils.GetCurrentJobValue( "OutputFileNames" )
    paddingRegex = re.compile("[^\\?#]*([\\?#]+).*")

    for i in range( 0, len(outputDirectories) ):
        outputDirectory = outputDirectories[i]
        outputFilename = outputFilenames[i]
         
        for frameNum in range(deadlinePlugin.GetStartFrame(),deadlinePlugin.GetEndFrame()+1):
            outputPath = Path.Combine(outputDirectory,outputFilename).replace("//","/")
             
            m = re.match(paddingRegex,outputPath)
            if( m != None):
                padding = m.group(1)
                frame = StringUtils.ToZeroPaddedString(frameNum,len(padding),False)
                outputPath = outputPath.replace( padding, frame )
         
            deadlinePlugin.LogInfo( "Output file: " + outputPath )

Notable changes:
*Added *args to the main function call
*gets deadlinePlugin from the argument list and uses it for LogInfo and GetStartFrame / GetEndFrame calls

Thanks Laszlo! We missed that page when updating the documentation for Deadline 6. We’ve made a note to fix this in the 6.1 docs.
