Hi, I must be at a loose end because I have some time to play around with things that I think I will need in later rev projects. Perhaps it is still beyond me as I am still pretty new with runrev. Anyway, I wonder if I am getting this right.
I want to understand how to use the process commands. Windows XP and runrev 4.0. So, I thought I'd start with something I know a bit about- ping. I put the following into the message box (multiple lines); put "cmd.exe" into tMyProcess open process tMyProcess for text update write "ping www.google.com.au" to tMyProcess read from process tMyProcess until end put it kill process tMyProcess ... and ran into several problems 1) Nothing showed up in the message box response, so the put obviously didn't work 2) Nothing was echoed to the cmd prompt window but I sort of didn't expect it would 3) The cmd prompt window did not disappear and the process wasn't killed or closed 4) I couldn't use the runrev IDE at all and had to quit and restart I guess this means that I don't really understand this at all. yet if I do this... put "ping www.google.com.au" into tWords put shell(tWords) I get the expected response. So, at least I may be understanding the shell command. Nonetheless, I would like to get a handle on using the process commands. Anyone have some examples or thoughts on my simpl(istic)e attempt at this? cheers -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Trying-to-get-my-head-around-process-tp2220672p2220672.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
