Problem with notetab gateway

 [1/8] from: blemeri:noos at: 4-Oct-2002 22:26


When i use the notetab gateway written for rebol by Brett Handley, i get the following error message : ** Script Error: use-script expected file argument of type: file ** Where: do-boot ** Near: use-script (i use Rebol/view) Does anyone know a solution for this problem ? Thanks, Bruno.

I'll look into it and get back to you. Brett.

Hi Bruno, Looking at the code on my website I cannot see how the problem can happen. Could you explain what steps you took before the problem occurred? We can email each other privately to solve this problem. Brett.

By the way, what and where is this product?

NoteTab can be found at: http://www.notetab.com/ I'm using NoteTab Light (freeware version). The files that allow NoteTab to pass text to REBOL for processing are here: http://www.codeconscious.com/rebol/rebol-and-notetab.html For example, I have a NoteTab clip entry for clean-script.r So that I highlight my REBOL script in NoteTab click clean-script and the highlight script is cleaned up by REBOL and left in the editor. BTW the problem referred to in the original message is fixed now - I think. Brett.

Hah! No kidding! I thought that's what you were talking about, but wasn't sure. I've been using Pro for a little over a year now :)

Good, good. I appreciate it! Perhaps someone should make mention of this on the NT mailing list?.... ;)

I really must learn how to use clips one of these days. It just seems like diving into a whole new language, all over again. I'm still struggling with REBOL ;)

Good, good. Mmm... I'm going to look at these. Thanks be to Bruno and Brett here, then, for making me aware. :)

Yes the clips can be very powerful and I admit I have not put them to their best use because I was solely focussed on getting the REBOL connection to work. I think, if you edit the rebol-tools.clb (just a text file) you'll find it pretty straight forward to add things to it. It has a mixture of simple REBOL expressions and some string processing of the text passed from NoteTab. Have fun! Regards, Brett.

Pretty sweet! Could really fix NoteTab up to be a complete IDE ;) Now for syntax coloring... I wonder if you can insert coloring codes that NoteTab will recognize, but not affect the text at all.. hm.... Anyways, we now return you to your regularly scheduled topic ;) --Charles
