Well - this would help if it was part of the Console app. I don't really want to pop this code in to each script just for testing purposes.
Furthermore, it would also be nice if the console could setup the args[] & stdin features. This would mean: Ø Ability to pass parameters to scripts (to emulate a command line) Ø Pipe output of an o/s statement to the current script. [dir c:/ | <this script>]. The console would need to launch the o/s command etc. ..and so the wish list grows!!

This is understandable when the script runs in that same thread as the Console. But it would be really useful to be able to run scripts in a separate thread to protect against exit() [and to display the exit value] and also for scripts with infinite loops that need to be killed! And, maybe, it would also allow these scripts to obtain the 'console' object for keyboard input? Console cons = System.console() Boolean isWorking () { if (!cons) { println "Cannot open a console for input" //always the case under GroovyConsole } return (cons != null) } Merlin Beedell -- Schalk W.
