calling a macro from the command line, change from v2 to v3?

Archive AnyScript Yahoo archive
1

I was using anybody v2 with the following command:

anybodycon temp.anymcr

where temp.anymcr is an anybody macro.

However, I have ugraded to v3, and when I make the same call, the macro does not
get
loaded in (and run) but I get put straight into the user interface (command
line) where I can
type in commands like ‘run’, ‘load’, and even ‘runmacro(“temp.anymcr”)’ => in
which case the
macro does run.

Have you encountered this problem before? Am I doing something wrong here?

Thank you in advance.

Dear David,

You are perfectly right that something is wrong. It is simply a bug.
It has been located and fixed. I am embarrased that this slipped
through our testing procedures.

We shall release the fix as soon as possible. Let us know if you need
the fix very urgently, then I can upload a temporary fix here on the
group.

Best regards,

Michael

Hello David,

I’d like to suggest a workaround for your problem. Instead of typing
“anybodycon <scriptname>”, try using the redirection pipe and use the
following syntax: “type <scriptname> | anybodycon”. This should yield the
exact same result.

Hope it helps,

Jean-Olivier

Addendum:

  1.   You might have to add a "exit" at the end of your script in order

for the console to close after the script.

  1.   I've had problems using this syntax when I did not add an empty

line at the end of the script (because it would not do the “enter” on the
exit line)

  1.   Just to make sure it was clear, you have to use the word "type" in

the command, so in your example, it would be:

type temp.anymcr | anybodycon

Good luck :slight_smile:
