[REBOL] Running from batch file? Re:(2)
How do you start rebol program from batch file? start /w rebol -sq kurzy-seznam.r Using the 'start' made it do what I expected it to do. Nothing else did; I tried all of the suggestions that others had made here. Rebol is in my path, I have its home environment variable set to it. Both my home machine and my machine at work acted the same way. Didn't matter if I was in the C:\Rebol directory or out side of it when I moved/ran my batch file. With solution in hand its on to the next problem, even tho I still don't understand the cause of this one. The wonder of windoze, I wonder why it did that

At 09:02 PM 2/14/00 -0500, you wrote:
I've tried these variations, while being in the same
directory as rebol.exe:
rebol dns.r
rebol %dns.r
"rebol.exe" %dns.r
"rebol.exe" dns.r"
while being in a different directory:
"C:\REBOL\Rebol.exe" %dsn.r
"C:\REBOL\Rebol.exe" dsn.r
they all just go to the "" prompt.
REBOL starts in the REBOL home directory, not the current
directory. If your script is in a different directory, you
have to specify the whole path to the script on the command
line to REBOL.
If you want to get around this, use my #!REBOL.BAT method.
It was updated yesterday, so a copy is attached to this
message. It allows you to make REBOL batch files and put
them anywhere you can find them on the %PATH%. You will
have to edit the call to REBOL at the beginning to reflect
the actual place you put the #!REBOL.BAT file.
BTW, is the "%" required on the command line? Seems to work
with or with-out it.
You don't need it. If you do use it, you must specify the
file using REBOL file syntax, %/C/AUTOEXEC.BAT rather than
C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT, for instance.
Enjoy!

Whoops!
The copy of #!REBOL.BAT I included had 2 bugs and one
slower part, all fixed in the version I've included
with this message. My bad!

Apparently this is different with /View. #!REBOL.BAT still
works with /View, but I should take /View into account when
it is released.

Hey, Have you tried to add a dos command to your bat file to change the current directory before the command to run your script.. It prob'ly seems not worth trying but dos is different like that. win95 won't recognize my cd-rom drive but if I first start dos and then windows my cd-rom drive shows up in windows explorer. timmy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I do "Rebol dns.r" from the DOS prompt (DOS box of Windoze 95) my dns.r program runs fine.

Here's a batch file that works for REBOL 2.2.0.3.1:
"C:\Program Files\REBOL\REBOL.EXE" "c:\Program
Files\REBOL\View\ChorusLine.r"
REBOL 2.2 needs a full path to the script. It's different in REBOL/View.
