RE: console window
Another quick dirty trick is to just put a STDIN; at the end of your script. This makes yours script wait for input. When you hit enter it will terminate and the window will close. Of course, this only works if your script gets to the end. If it runs into a compile error, you'll see the error message for 3 microseconds before the window closes... Many editors let you execute commands from the IDE. I like gVim (steep learning curve but oh-so-snappy once your fingers learn a few simple commands) Anybody know how to do more sophistocated error trapping or console execution? Yes, I know, this isn't really even a CGI question. Who uses a console for CGI development anyway? -p -Original Message- From: Jason Purdy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 8:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: console window At the end of your perl program, add the line: system( PAUSE ); http://www.computing.net/programming/wwwboard/forum/3270.html HTH, when i run the perl programs from windows explorer, the console window opens, executes and closes before i can see anything in it. thank you gary rocco [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
console window
when i ran perl programs using windows 98 operating system, i double clicked on the program name in windows explorer. i kept the program files right in the C:\Perl directory. the programs would open a command prompt type console window and execute. the console window remained open until i clicked on the X to close it. now i have a new hp pavilion pc running windows xp. everything else being the same, when i run the perl programs from windows explorer, the console window opens, executes and closes before i can see anything in it. i realize that if i open the command prompt, i can see the program results but i would like to be able to run the programs directly from windows. i have tried changing the suffix from .pl to .bat(using pl2.bat). the results are the same either way. thank you gary rocco [EMAIL PROTECTED]
