D&Do v. 1.0   Prev   Next   Top


Behavior

The D&Do behavior is specified by the following parameters:  

Note: Normally SOUT and OUTC have the same value. There are situations, however, where it is impractical to access the normal program output. You can write the program (or specify an argument list template) in such way that it outputs into a predefined temporary file. This file should have the same name as the related metascript but, with the ".out" extension instead. It should be placed in the tmp subdirectory. D&Do will attempt to read this file as if it was reading the normal program output and writes its content into the system clipboard. For that purpose, the parameters settings should be: SOUT:0, OUTC:1. The last possible combination (SOUT:1 and OUTC:0) might be useful for diagnostic purposes when D&Do is started from a DOS/Shell box, otherwise, that will just waste some processor resources.

Note: This temporary file creation and/or access is a commercial feature; it is not accessible in the freeware version of D&Do.

Here are a few examples of resolved argument list from the argument list template:
myscript.bas *0 *# -P
Take note that the *0 template variable is not put between double quotes.
First tagged drop: Hell
First untagged drop: is hot
Second untagged drop: has devils
The metascript name is: myMetascript
