using getchannels to move channel to different channelgroup

[2Pale4TX]

I am trying to move all of my flow channels to group 4.  they are currently spread throughout several channelgroups.

Dim oMyChn

Dim oMyChannels

Set oMyChannels = Data.GetChannels("*FLOW*")

For Each oMyChn in oMyChannels

CallMsgBoxDisp(oMyChn.Name)

CallData.Move(data.Root.ActiveChannelGroup.Channels(oMyChn),Data.Root.ChannelGroups(4).Channels)

Next

I am getting an error stating that "the argument transferred to Item must be either a string or an integer"

Can someone help?

Nevermind.

I finally got it 🙂

Dim oMyChn

Dim oMyChannels

Set oMyChannels = Data.GetChannels("*FLOW*")

For Each oMyChn in oMyChannels

Call MsgBoxDisp(oMyChn.Name)

oMyChn.ChannelGroup.Activate

CallData.Move(Data.Root.ActiveChannelGroup.Channels(oMyChn.Name),Data.Root.ChannelGroups(4).Channels)

Next

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to recommend the following alternative syntax as easier to debug and faster performing:

Set FlowChannels = Data.GetChannels("*/*FLOW*")
jMax = FlowChannels.Count
FOR j = 1 TO jMax
  Call Data.Move(FlowChannels(j), Data.Root.ChannelGroups(4).Channels, j)
NEXT ' j

Thanks Brad.

I will adjust my script.
