Does anyone have experience with combining REALbasic GUIs with executables
made with a Fortran compiler?
What is the most elegant way to call Fortran-made executables from within
REALBASIC? I have been using the mode=0 (synchronous) shell.execute command.
However, I find it very limiting. I do not want the user to see any UNIX, so
the idea to to hide all system and other calls behind buttons. Interactive
shell mode is available only in OSX, so that rules that out...
For example, say my executable is in directory A and the input file needed
by the executable in Directory B while I want the out saved to Directory B
(to make it easy).
How would one implement that?
See below what I did when everything is in the same directory:
************
Dim makegrd As Shell
Dim errmess,workdir,executable As String
makegrd=New Shell
makegrd.Mode=0
workdir="/Volumes/SRC/fortran/k_surf_new/"
executable="/Volumes/SRC/fortran/k_surf_new/a.out"
makegrd.Execute("cd"+""+" "+""+workdir+";"+" "+executable)
errmess=makegrd.Result
MsgBox errmess
if errmess="" then
MsgBox "No output messages"
If makegrd.errorCode = 0 then
MsgBox "Grid has been created"
end if
else
MsgBox errmess
end if
***********
I am happy with this result so far, but how does one call a series of system
commands, such as
rlogin node1
cd dir/a
nohup ./runit &
exit
without hardcoding it into a shell script and calling the script?
