Topic: Wildfile - Automatic Exit (1 of 5), Read 22 times Conf: Wildfile, Other macros From: Ian Binnie Date: Saturday, January 07, 2006 04:00 AM I have a procedure which builds an input file "~ZTTag.inp" for the wildfile macro which runs one of my macros. This creates a file (containing jpeg filenames & comments). This starts a new instance of Vedit & works OK, but ends with an Exit prompt "Save Comments.txt". I want Vedit to automatically save the output file & exit. I include a couple of CR/LF at the end of "~ZTTag.inp", but this does not seem to work, neither does does a -q option on the command line which invokes Vedit:- C:\vedit\vpw.exe -e -s2 -c'rinp("#ZTTemp\~ZTTag.inp") call_file(100,"wildfile.vdm")' Any ideas?

(Just a guess, I never used the input redirection until today.) Christian

Yes. The only issue is that I am prompted to save the file. I am looking for a way to cause this to be automatically saved. Other wildfile procedures I have, which do not create a new file exit OK. >(Just a guess, I never used the input >redirection until today.) > I don't use it a lot, but it is very handy. I use ZTreeWin as my file manager, and use this to select files for processing, rather than typing at the vedit prompt.

I suspect that the macro which you are running from within Wildfile is creating a file and therefore this macro needs to save it. Ted.

I could force this to be saved for each execution, but was looking at a way to close this at the end of a cycle (which is how I use the macro when running manually). >
