That's too bad.
Threading could speed things up so nicely (My CFML implementation gained some serious speed when I threaded it)
It's going to be fun comparing the two, how fast can I make the LC implementation go?

Re: Evaluate string?
This really isn't rocket surgery, I just didn't know how to evaluate strings as code (do).
How about threading? Any chance of threading being available? (That's also something I haven't been able to find information about.

Re: Evaluate string?
Originally it was just for CFML, but I'm thinking of making it a generic test-engine (Thus LiveCode) so you can run it standalone on any platform, using any set of tests you want. It's a side-project for now, but it's getting a good chunk of my attention, so should have a demo working in the near fu...

Re: Evaluate string?
Richard, it's to let others code in LiveCode in order to write small scripts which can be loaded and runtime. I'm working on a modular testing-engine, it's nice to be able to write small scripts and just drop them into a folder and have them automatically picked up and run, instead of telling other ...

Thanks Klaus, I'll give that a go

Evaluate string?
I haven't been able to find an answer to this, so I figured I'd check here. Is it possible to evaluate a string? Let's say a string contains "put 1 into bla", I'd like to evaluate the string as if it was written in a regular script. The longer story is that I'd like to be able to let users write scr...

Re: Send ctrl-c to process?
Aha, it's because it's waiting to finish, which it never will, since it's running a java jetty server.
Using the kill command lets me forcibly close the bat file that I use to open it, but that leaves the java process still running.

Also, it seems that close process doesn't actually do anything.

Re: Send ctrl-c to process?
No go, nothing happens.
I'm going to do more tests, make sure the problem is that I'm not having problems writing to the process.

Send ctrl-c to process?
So I've had some success using open process, but now I need to send ctrl-c to the open process, and I'm having no luck at all.
How would I send control characters to a process, which was opened with update so it should accept both read and write.

Re: Shell - continuous output?
Newest issue is that I'm not having any luck sending ctrl-c to the process.
I do have the process opened to update, so it should accept read and write.

Re: Shell - continuous output?
Ok, so more success!
(Not sure if anyone is following this, but I'm amused anyway)
By turning it into read from process pProcess until empty, I'm now getting continuous output, now it's a matter of sending control characters so I can send a ctrl-c

Re: Shell - continuous output?
More testing. It seems the locking is not while reading or outputting on screen, it happens BETWEEN. Which makes me think that it has to do with the "read from process pProcess for 1", if there isn't anything to read, it sits there waiting, locking up the GUI, so I'm going to try and see if I can ma...

Re: Shell - continuous output?
Set to EOF I get nothing read, still locks up but nothing displayed.
I'm running a batch file which starts a java process, so I need to continuously read the window.

I have partial success! Ok, so I can open a process and read from it, but I'm getting UI locks and not sure how to get around that.
