Alternative Machine Handle Operator

An alternative syntax for the machine handle operator is the bracket form, like the following example shows.

[hMachine] Any4TestFunctionCall ()

Example

To execute the SYS_SetDir function on the target machine specified by the string sMachineA, you do this:

[sMachineA] SYS_SetDir (sDir)

The correct form of the invalid syntax shown above is:

// Invalid machine handle operator use
if ([sMachine]ProjX.DuplicateAlert.Exists())
  Print ("Duplicate warning on {sMachine} recipient.")

To execute the SYS_SetDir function on the host machine, you can do the following:

[hHost] SYS_SetDir (sDir)

You can also use this form of the machine handle operator with a function that is not being used to return a value or with a method.
