lst2run new tool;

Oh, right you took the version from the second post, it's a debug version get the one from the first post.

p.s. To Mods please edit my message on the first page (post #13803) and remove the b64 posting since it contains a debug version that is no longer needed.

Cheers.

Done.

BTW: Any idea why I sometimes get only a console window saying "wrong" when running lst2run? On second click it works fine. It seems that the listfile isn't created fast enough and lst2run doesn't find it.
I am using lst2run v0.4 (beta).

Hmm, are you sure we're talking about the same tool, iirc lst2run never made it past 0.1 alpha (it works good enought as it is)...

Unless I developed sclerosis and lost the sources for 0.4 beta, which might be since I remeber losing sources for something.

EDIT: Nm. I indeed lost the sources for it ... sorry ... the last I have is the .1alpha, found the binaries.

No idea about what's up sorry. Though I doubt it starts before the list is created since TC doesn't call the command before creating the list prolly.

p.s. did you try specifying -p 0 so the screen freezes?

Cheers.

Well looking at the code again, there is this

Code: Select all

lf = fopen(argv[listfile], "rt");

if(!lf)
{
	printf("wrong");
	return;
}

Which definitely argues for your supposition, meaning Christian could probably explain what's up... though I have never seen that happen.

Cheers.

OK, that indeed seems to confirm things.

lf = fopen(argv[listfile], "rt");

if(!lf)
{
printf("wrong");
return;
}

I cannot resist suggesting using a more descriptive informational message next time.

Well I didn't expect to be getting and invalid file pointer or an inaccessible file... I should have used Verbotten :) which seems like a very fashionable non-user-friendly message now-days. Oh, well.

Btw. since you're are in verbouse relationship with Christian you could ask him about the list file and the weird parameter parsing with lst2str:

Yes, that's why you made the check.

Yesterday (in a totally different matter) I was presented another superb error message:

Could not start the Server service on Local Computer.

Error 317: 0x13d

OK

I am in no privileged position concerning such matters. So, just to go back on topic:

Christian,
Does TC check the existence of the temporary listfile before calling the external program?
