Re: Can't change directory with shell(cd)

When I cut and paste fld 1 into the Terminal, ls works as expected. What am I doing wrong or is this a 'feature';)? The problem is that you're doing two separate shell calls, each one evaluated based on the current folder (which is Rev's Home folder). You need to make a single shell call that does both tasks. For Mac, that means separating them by semicolons: put shell(cd /;ls) This will get a directory listing of the root drive. For Windows, you need to use an ampersand instead of a semicolon, like this: put shell(cd c:\ dir) ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Can't change directory with shell(cd)
Richard Hillen in September of last year was claiming on this list 25 seconds to do a revcopyfile. I typed CR into the dictionary and couldn't find it. I think I must have added an extra or quote when I was typing. Michael On May 1, 2008, at 10:06 PM, Sarah Reichelt wrote: The reason I was using shell() instead of a built in Rev command were: 1.) I didn't know about it :) 2.) My first objective was to copy a file into a folder. I had used revCopyFile and it was taking 15 seconds to copy a small file. I new I could use ditto and it would be (is) much faster. So I decided to do the rest with shell(). Something seems wrong there. However if using ditto works for you, then that's fine. I haven't done much with copying files. Moving them is very fast using the rename command, but copying is different. If the files are small you could try: put URL (binfile: tOriginalFile) into URL (binfile: tNewFile) but if they are larger than a few MB, that might not be so good as it reads the entire file into memory before writing it out again. Do you have cr defined as return? cr is defined in Rev. I prefer using it instead of return because return also means return a value from a function and I prefer to make sure they are obviously different. And it's shorter to type :-) Cheers, Sarah ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Launching a web page
Hi Shari, Open up the Rev IDE and have a look at the scripts in the revCommon library which you can get to using the Backscripts section of the Message box. It contains the scripts for revGoURL and various other Windows-related handlers. You might be able to work out how Rev does it and and see if you can adapt this to your needs. Cheers, Sarah Thank you, Sarah. You give me hope :-) I'll definitely check out the handlers there. I had been trying to find handlers in an old libUrl stack then realized that the reason everybody rolled their own was because there was no built in call for this. By the way, launch url and all the home-rolled handlers work like a charm on Mac. It's that Win-Thing causing the fits. I did learn something however from the failed attempts. The process I was using to go thru several attempts had a flaw. If one fails, try another is great but for one thing. If the first attempt failed, it left the process open and other attempts would throw up a process already open error. So after each failed attempt, I now have it close the processes before attempting the next method. Many years ago, the original methods (whatever was the first method tried) must have been the successful ones because I never encountered an error. Just success. And in the past five years, nobody has ever emailed me and told me they could not access the web page from within the application. :-) Shari -- Humorous sports t-shirts http://www.villagetshirts.com WlND0WS and MAClNT0SH shareware games http://www.gypsyware.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Fixing MacOS File Names for a NAS
You could probably use StuffIt to copy everything (and then perform scheduled backups) to the NAS, assuming it would change filenames along the way.

Hmmm... my blind faith in progress is shattered :( Well - not going to give up on my 4 Terabites yet - its not going to be for everything I guess - but I'll settle for the media archive - seems that iTunes is going to be OK - but the EyeTV archive is definitely not based on the way the files are named.

I believe the Droboshare is gigabit but it connects to the Drobo by the same old USB connection as if you'd connected direct to your computer, so my impression is that it is still restricted to USB speeds - a shame considering you fill it with SATA drives. Even if I'm wrong, at $700 for an empty enclosure plus the attachment so you can shared via wired and wifi networks doesn't seem to compete too well with a 1TB TimeCapsule. Actually, you could pick up a Mac Mini for less than $200 and just plug the Drobo into that and achieve similar (no wifi) for less. I think I'll wait for the Chinese to copy it, then wait for the Taiwanese to improve it with true gigabit connection or direct eSATA and then buy for less ;-) ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
