Topic: WEBXREF.VDM - DOS only? (1 of 20), Read 21 times Conf: VEDIT Macro Library From: John H Date: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 02:26 PM Hi, I noticed this macro having problems with the windows versions.. Works great with vedit.exe though. Did this 'break' somewhere during the vpw.exe advancement from v5.00 or is/was the macro strictly for vedit-dos? -- John VEDIT SN: 95651 VEDIT (DOS) Ver. 6.12.1 05/04/04 VEDIT (32-Bit) Ver. 6.12.1 05/04/04 VEDIT Pro (64-Bit) Beta Test Ver. 6.12.1 05/04/04 Windows 2000 (5.0.2195 Service Pack 4)

Strange. I get "FILE NOT FOUND: d:\temp\html\*.htm -s" Perhaps I am not entering the line properly. I am typing in (un-quoted) "d:\temp\html" at the macro input prompt. > You might try to contact the author, Scott Lambert, via his personal > Vedit website: http://carver.pinc.com/~slambert/contents.htm I looked over Scott's site to see if perhaps there was a newer revision but found none. It's not a big deal for me, I was just randomly trying some of the macros included with the VE distribution. -- John

I modified the macro to handle that better (I changed some quoting characters). Since I never used the macro before I can't say if it's o.k. now. At least the error is away... Christian

And I simplified the modifications. (Christian already had a hard day at work.) It really is a useful macro - it creates a list of all the .htm pages in a directory (including subdirectories) and for each page lists all the other pages and images that it links to.

Topic: Re: WEBXREF.VDM - DOS only? (8 of 20), Read 19 times Conf: VEDIT Macro Library From: Ted Green Date: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 04:59 PM To follow up - If someone wants to try it, the macro could be modified to prompt on the status line (as it does) for the DOS version and prompt with a Dialog_Input_1() command for the Windows version. OS_Type can be used to determine which version of VEDIT is running. I noticed in 6.12 that the current status line prompt changes color after you type the first character. The intention was for the status line to change color when there is a prompt, so this needs fixing. (But is a low priority) BTW - This was new for 6.12. Ted.

I'd offer but since I'm really not confident enough I'll probably just try some changes for my own learning. However, if you like I would be happy to test all the macros that are in the distribution and compile my findings, so you have an idea of ones that might prompt newbies like me to ask about. -- John

No, not now please. I plan to release 6.12 in a day or two and will then again be busy with our anti-spam service for several weeks.

I added those and made some other changes. I have no idea why the prompt in DOS doesn't use the statline when invoked with -x. It will show in the statline when loaded/run manually. -- John

I will check it more carefully tomorrow, determine why it has a problem with spaces in pathnames and hopefully correct it. Ted.

It's enough to do a vedit.exe -c "get_input(20,'Test: ', NOCR+STATLINE)" to show the not-usage of the statline. Christian

VEDIT is trying to display the signon message on the status line on startup. I need to re-code this to give status line message precedence. This will have to wait a bit. Ted.

The DOS version has a tiny glitch that the status line can't be used until VEDIT has fully started up and created at least one editing window. Ted.
