Hi Richard, The result says: can't rename file (20) I see that you are using a “move file” in your example. The dictionary doesn’t show an example for moving a file. I tried the following example to see what would happen: move file OldImagePathAndFileName to tFileName if the result is not

Database Setup

Panos, I need to get this running. I've tried launching dp5 with the same results. If I restore my old prefs, I can't set breakpoints but I do get the IDE to load. If I let LC make new prefs, I get no IDE at all and my only option is to quit. On 5/8/17 3:55 PM, panagiotis merakos via

Unable to set breakpoint

Suddenly I have lost the ability to set breakpoints. Red-dot breakpoints are dimmed as though the script has not been compiled (it has, several times.) Hard-coded "breakpoint" commands to not trigger either. I am not able to debug. Things were going along well until I allowed remote

If you are in terminal, and in the folder where your executable is, and you type ./yourexecutablename arg1 arg2 does it do what you expect? (note the preceding dot . which means to start at the working directory) If the file is set to executable by you, it should work. If you type the command

Re: Shell argv

Seems to me, if its the compiled version, you shouldn't need to use "open" at all. a simple get shell("path/to/executable argument1 argument2") If I understand what I read about "open" enough, it expects a file, that will be opened in another app, like in Marks example. (whatever.c opens xcode)

Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply and info. The file is actually named Hello and it is a c program compiled with xcode. It takes the argc value and if it is less than 2 returns a message a parameter was not added. If it is 2 then it prints the value of argv[1] which would be the first argument

Thanks Bob. I did that before I sent the message and searched a lot on the web. It looks to me like I am entering everything properly. I will not that the file takes a full path and I did not show a full path but I always used a full path. Maybe I will try compiling with gcc sometime to see if

Every time you state the problem you are trying to solve, I catch myself saying "This is not how I would do it." Array values are not searchable, which makes it unsuitable for searching. Fields can be searched easily enough, datagrids without too much more trouble are searchable, and databases
