Servus Franz, nice to meet you again. Interesting things you're doing there :) I am not familiar with shell commands yet, nor perl, but how do you get a result from the shell execution back into a runrev field "feedback"? Tiemo

I am working on win and have ActivePerl or Sieperl installed on the PCs. Therefore I wrote a script, which dynamically runs a perl script from runrev. Create a field "perl", put the perl prog in it, remove all comments = text in a line after # (or write the script for doing this). Create a field "feedback". Make a button with the script: on mouseUp put field "perl" into perlprog replace cr with empty in perlprog put "perl -e " & quote & perlprog & quote into cmdstring set the hideconsolewindows to true put shell(cmdstring) into field "feedback" end mouseUp I tested it with some normal scripts (the result of the script will be expressed in field "feedback"). This allows using Perl modules as extensions of runrev. You can of course run any perl script from runrev in a file (the normal way) with shell("perl " & fileloc) Second I tested (on win) some GUI-Skripts in Perl using PerlTk: use Tk; my $meinFenster = MainWindow->new; $meinFenster->Label( -text=>"Servus" )->pack; $meinFenster->Button(-text => "Schluss", -command => [$meinFenster => 'destroy'] )->pack; MainLoop; On Win and Linux this creates a small GUI window. On Mac there normally is no PerlTk implementation - you have to install it on your own if you need. Tk allows to offer an interface for configuration of parameters of the perl script during runtime. I will put this info on my (still rudimentary) runrev web pages at http://animabit.de/runrev Regards, Franz Mit freundlichen Grüßen Franz Böhmisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.animabit.de GF Animabit Multimedia Software GmbH Am Sonnenhang 22 D-94136 Thyrnau Tel +49 (0)8501-8538 Fax +49 (0)8501-8537 To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ 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
