--do argument does not respond

 [1/7] from: maximo::meteorstudios::com at: 7-Aug-2003 17:00


hi, I've tried a myriad of methods, but I just can't get the --do option of rebol.exe to do anything. I mean in any way. even if I just --do "print 1" its not printed out, --do "value: 1" its not set in the script I run. I've looked at several docs and they all say the same thing... it should work. can anyone give me an example of a complete cmd line which works on their machine? I'd prefer an example which loads no script. just run the expression followin --do option. I tried with /view release and latest beta release. -max ----------- meteor Studios, T.D. ----------- Never Argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

I tried your examples and failed with all my versions of Rebol: REBOL/Base 2.6.0.3.1 REBOL/Core 2.5.5.3.1 REBOL/View 1.2.5.3.1 6-May-2002 :( Andrew J Martin Attendance Officer & Information Systems Trouble Shooter Colenso High School Arnold Street, Napier.

but it should work no? I'm asking, cause I have an idea for Ariel who wants to run a script embeded in a .bat file, but the --do argument HAS TO work first... cause otherwise he still needs to have a .r (or .rll file) AND a .bat file... which is what he is trying to alleviate in the first place I think. I'd like to build a linker and batch file packager, using sunanda's cool compiler idea. Maybe I should send this as a bug to feedback... its just I sometimes wonder if feedback is now a virtual concept... back when bo used to handle it, we would get an answer with the next day at most , with example or explanation... last time I tried by the time I got an answer, I had forgotten that I had sent a feedback... -MAx

I can't get --do to work on latest view beta (1.2.10) either. This is another way to pass information into a script: D:\Anton\Dev\Rebol\View\view1210031.exe -- "do-anton-user?: true" Then in user.r, do this: use [args] [if args: system/options/args [do first args]] if value? 'do-anton-user? [ ; do what you want ] I used this in many different versions so far. Hope it solves your problem. Anton.

in file %file.sh: #!/bin/sh rebol file.sh exit rebol[] rebol-code i guess *.bat have a similar way.

Here's the story on --do command line argument: On Core 2.5.6 (official release, not experimental), latest SDK, Command, etc, it works fine. (See release docs. It works fine on Windows.) On experimental Cores and Views over the last 6 months, --do was ignored. -Carl REBOL
