Hello all, 
I'm trying to loop over all the inliks of a given module, but nothing is outputed although the inlinks exist.

here is my script

Link inLink
Object obj
for obj in current Module do {
for inLink in obj<-"*" do {
print("sh")
}
}

Thank you

Hello Khalid,
You must use the type "LinkRef" to loop over the inlinks, like that:

LinkRef inLink
Object obj
for obj in current Module do {
for inLink in obj<-"*" do {
print("sh")
}
}​

Hope that helps

Regards

Romain

Hi Khalid,
if you read the manual carefully, you will notice the note "This loop only assigns to inLink incoming link values for which the source object is loaded; unloaded links are
not detected."
Links are stored with their source object (i.e. as outgoing links). At the other end of the link, there is no information about the link except that there is an incoming link. This is why you have to use the other loop first:

// for each source
for srcModName in Object tgtObject <- (string linkModName do {
...
}

This gives you the names of all the modules where there exist links to the object you are looking at.
Once you have loaded these modules (e.g. read(srcModName)), you can loop over the actual inlinks as in your code.
