Hi Jason

i am Windows User so .. I am not really shure what works for you.. but suggest
shell("ls")
should work and
? Application.Path
or
? Application.directoryName

[Argonaut]

Hi

Application.Path

thanks that's work but why

.Path

not load in function when write code ?

and for shell any other solution ?

Please Jason the Argonaut,

use some more words to explain what went wrong or what you need.
The quality of answers also depends on the quality of the questions.

What should this tell me ?
"not load in function when write code ?"
I have less then no idea ... and this is already rounded up.

and what is wrong with
shell("whatever")
as you ask for other solutions.

When I was starting to work as programmer... many years ago... in our office we had a banner on the wall.
It read " If all else fails, read instructions "
That is what I do.

Code: Select all

  Print Application.DirectoryName()
  Print Application.Path()


Look at the output, and yes both of them will work

Hi Argonaut

the .path is for VB6 compatibility and obviously
application.directoryname is doing the same.

This is what I read from the manual
http://www.kbasic.com/doku.php?id=static_objects#application

/Winni

BTW: what's your nationality ? Greek ?

Why are you interested ? I'm not Greek ... Sorry I'm someone else ... thank you

Hello

I am also having problems getting external programs to work. I have been trying to get the command 'shell' to do something with no success.

Using yabasic I got this little program to work

#!/usr/bin/yabasic
input "what time limit?"t$
print t$
a$ = "-fcp crafty -tc "+t$+" -scp crafty"
system("xboard " +a$)


basically it evokes the chess gui 'xboard' with the chess engine 'crafty' the point being is I can set a time limit to the game.

Can someone please write how I would do the same thing in kbasic.

To the coder of the kbasic language, if I can get this to work, I will most certainly buy the professional version.

Regards

Peter

@dollyknot

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_OnOpen()
  Dim ReturnCode as Integer
  Dim TimeCode as String
  TimeCode = Inputbox ("Time limit ")
  ? TimeCode
  ReturnCode = shell(application path/application 'program parameters', TRUE/FALSE)
End Sub


See the documentation for more details about the shell command.
