batch and path

batch

C:\pb\pb4\compilers\pbcompiler %1 /DEBUGGER /UNICODE 
if errorlevel 1 goto error 
C:\pb\pb4\compliers\pbcompiler %1 /DEBUGGER 
if errorlevel 1 goto error 
goto skip 
:error 
pause 
:skip

I've setup a hotkey for this batch in the IDE. It's from here:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~bluez/datatalk/pure5.htm#top

But it's not taking the full path, it's interupted by the spaces in my
paths. What is a good solution for this? I'm thinking of just writing
a small console app instead of using a batch file. ?

Put double quotes around the %TEMPFILE in the IDE.

@NoahPhense,

I notice an error in your batch file (or is it on purpose?)

C:\pb\pb4\compliers\pbcompiler %1 /DEBUGGER

Ieh ?? "\compliers\" ? Should be "\compilers\"

Yeah that was a typo. But wasn't the cause of the path not working.

Because that is in the second half of the batch. The first half was calling
correctly.

I was following these instructions from this bluez page, located here:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~bluez/datatalk/pu ... #2_unicode

; run_unicode.bat
;
compilers\pbcompiler %1 /DEBUGGER /UNICODE
if errorlevel 1 goto error
compilers\pbcompiler %1 /DEBUGGER
if errorlevel 1 goto error
goto skip
:error
pause
:skip

The above would have to be added to the 'tools' and assigned a hotkey in the PB IDE. For that do this:

1. tools / config tools / new
2. commandline = path + run_unicode.bat
3. arguments = %FILE
4. working directory = %PATH
5. name = whatever you like
6. menu or shortcut = whatever you like (I use Alt+U)

This works if I change the %FILE to %TEMPFILE, but I can't use it that
way. I need it to RUN from the directory where the actual pb source is
because I have too many additional files, etc..

The problem is when I use just %FILE, it does not handle the spaces
correctly.

i.e.

Uhm maybe you could put Chr(34)+Filename$+Chr(34) into the %FILE variable? I think it's like with the ProgramParameter().

I could if I were writing a program..

All I'm trying to do is use this:

Is it necessary to repeat it? Put double quotes around the %FILE in the IDE.

Code: Select all

"%FILE"

Thanks Trond, and BDK .. I know this will sound wacked. But I had done
that the first time it was mentioned. But it did not take.

I swear, I'm not losing my mind. Anymore than yesterday anyhow.

Works now.. thanks! Lotta typing for some quotes. (sigh)

The weirdest thing of all is that I have had the same problem myself. I was sure I had tried with quotes. (But I could be losing my mind).
