Of course, this makes perfect sense. I had noted that a quoted script with
directories works while without quotes, it doesn't. Your explanation hadn't
occurred to me.
Thanks for improving my understanding of this.

Subject: Re: [Jmol-users] script() function path question
the script() command does not do quite what you think it does. It expects a
script command:
x = script("show chemical name")
x = script("show measurements")
x = script("script '../scripts/script1.spt' ")
It is true that simply named scripts like you have there work, but only because
there is a short-cut for the script command. (I got tired of typing it so often
:).
x = script("script1.spt ")
is really
x = script("script 'script1.spt' ")
but that only works with very simple names like that, not ones with
directories.

Hi,
I'm using the output of a script() function to gather data to be output as a
file. I can run the script from another folder as
script ../Jmolspts/writeout.spt
without difficulty. When I direct the output to a variable, I'm finding that
the target must be in the current directory. That is,
gmstring = script("../Jmolspts/writeout.spt")
returns a blank, while
gmstring = script("writeout.spt")
works as I intend with the results now loaded into the variable. What's going
on here?
Thanks,
George Whitwell
