SID-01607: General format for WebNotify

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.2	Perl version:	5.014002 (linux)

The documentation indicates that

three spaces * subscriber [ : topics ]

but the only way I can get this to work to have a bullet point, a *, a space and the WikiName

For the Sandbox, the nofification is defined as bullet point, WikiName

Would appreciate if somebody could clarify what the correct syntax is for WebNotify

Discussion and Answer

Three spaces, a * and a space make up a bullet in raw edit. So the format you see here in WebNotify is correct.

Thanks for the clarification, but I can only get this to work if I have the following (Raw edit)

• * LeoList

Which makes it 3 spaces, a * and a space, plus another asterix. Whe I specify the notify like that It works, but I get the following warning:

---

Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl/5.14/Net/Cmd.pm line 222 (#1) (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.

To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you the name of the variable (if any) that was undefined. In some cases it cannot do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your program.
