Re: Access violations

[Julian Hall]

Mark - and anyone else who may be interested -

I'm delighted to say that I've got over the problem of misreading the batch
file into the Out folder as follows:

My programme now opens 'The Bat!' automatically, THEN creates 'thebat.ipc'
with the command lines in it.  This works every time - no hiccups whatever.

The fact still remains that I can't open the Bat and get it to read my
Batch file properly from the Windows run prompt.  Neither can I get over
the problem by creating 'thebat.ipc' and then running 'The Bat!' - it
hardly ever reads in all the data.  Luckily, however, I don't need to do
either now - the first method is easier than either of these, with the
additional advantage that it actually works..

I don't know whether this problem is peculiar to me, but perhaps this may
save someone some time and trouble in future.  I wonder if The Bat software
people are aware of it?

 It then reads in some, but not all, of the outgoing messages.  The number
 it reads varies widely, even with the same batch file.  I'm emptying the
 Out and Trash folders each time, but it doesn't help.  Results are also
 unpredictable using 'thebat.ipc' instead of the Run command line.

 The most puzzling aspect is why it should sometimes work and sometimes
 (nearly always) not with the same batch file.

Don't know about the Access Violations, but here are some WAGs:

you're getting a varied amount of messages because of the error - at
some point along the way when the error is hit the processing of
commands in the batch file stops and you don't get any more.

It looks like a timing thing to me: you're trying to stuff one more
batch command when tb isn't quite done processing the previous one,
and the message threading gets messed up. I don't know how much you're
trying to put into that batch file, but possibly cutting its size down
and running this in multiple passes would help.
