Hello Horace, I thank you for patiently explaining me how to run racket from command line.
Actually, this is not exactly what I am looking for. What I want is a script file. Such that I can test the modules of the program from command prompt. Something like ******* #!/bin/bash racket -f "file.rkt" racket (twice 2) ******* Thanks in advance, Colum On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 4:39 PM, Horace Dynamite <[email protected]>wrote: > > Say, the racket file is file.rkt > > > > *********** > > (define (twice x) > > (* 2 x)) > > > > and so on.... > > > > ********** > > > > I want to test if (twice 2) is 4 from the command line. > > You need to know what "folder" or "directory" you saved the file in. > Lets say it's in C:\racket\ > > Click Start -> Run and type "cmd" (without the quotes) > Then type (again, without quotes) > "cd C:\racket\" > > (or you could pass the full path to enter!
