Title: lsp to call script files
Post by: pmvliet on May 28, 2004, 03:37:40 PM

Hello,

I am working on my script files for plotting. I am in the process of creating the various scripts for various plotters, paper size etc.

Now I want to have a lisp routine that gets loaded and defines various keystrokes to a set an individual script routine.

Here is my lisp to call the scripts:

Code: [Select]

(defun c:x1 ()
(command "script" "i:\standards\Retail\ClientA\Plot\30x42 pdf.scr")
)
(defun c:x2 ()
(command "script" "i:\standards\Retail\ClientA\Plot\30x42 Bond Tryplot1.scr")
)
(defun c:x3 ()
(command "script" "i:\standards\Retail\ClientA\Plot\1.scr")
)

now when this is loaded, it says

Quote

Command: x3 script
Enter script file name <I:\STANDARDS\retail\Drawing1.scr>:
i:standardsRetailClientaPlot
.scr
"i:standardsRetailClientaPlot
.scr": Invalid file name.

I don't know if the spaces are allowed or not?
i:\standards\retail\clienta\plot\ is where my script files are located.

The reason why I am not just initiating the script from a button is that not all my users like buttons. I will also create buttons that will call the 2 digit keystroke. I think that is the most well rounded way to go about this.

let me know what is wrong if you can tell...

you need to either use two '\\' or one '/' in the path to the .scr i.e.
i:\\standards\\Retail\\ClientA\\Plot\\1.scr"

Boy your quick!!!

I figure I would be waiting until Tuesday being the long weekend... My office is pretty empty and that is the only reason I can work on this stuff right now.

It works like a charm...
I would guess that that is the reason it doesn't work in my toolbar as well??
