If you don't get a reply (especially over a weekend), that does not mean you can clutter up everyone's e-mail by resending the exact same message. Think about it again *and read the documentation*.
==>> Very likely the reason you did not get a reply is that you sent a longish script with an unclear question (and unclear subject line). Most of us do not want to start reading through a script to figure out what might be wrong. Try to boil down the question to something clear. Do a few experiments yourself to identify exactly where the problem lies, then send a *short* example that focuses on the problem.
