How to: run script from another script.

[bg5]

I saw some questions on it, so here is an easy guide:

Firstly, you need to make a .bat file. Edit it and paste this, of course change pathes and file names to yours:


C:\Simba5\Simba.1.1.rc4.exe -o "C:\Simba5\Scripts\my_script_to_run.simba" -r

Then, to run it, put in your script:

OpenWebPage('C:\Users\user\Desktop\scriptRun.bat') ;

Done.

I knew there was a way to execute command-line code from within Simba.

Much rep for you, bg5.

Heya,

Here's another way to do it using TProcess;

var
TProc: TProcess;
FilePath, Args: string;
begin
FilePath := 'C:\Simba\Scripts\Test.simba';
Args := '/c ' + AppPath + 'Simba.exe' + ' -o ' + '"' + FilePath + '"' + ' -r';
if not FileExists(FilePath) then
exit;
TProc.Init(nil);
TProc.setExecutable('Cmd.exe');
TProc.getParameters().Add(Args);
TProc.Execute();
TProc.Free();
end.

Sry for the late post but I just saw this post and I have some questions about this.

I figured this about a while back through another thread but started my own thread to get some extra information about it, however nobody responsed that knew the answer so maybe one of you does:

Your code: C:\Simba5\Simba.1.1.rc4.exe -o "C:\Simba5\Scripts\my_script_to_run.simba" -r

Any idea if there is a way to make it so the simba.exe starts -> sleeps 5s -> runs script (so it has time to load in fonts/libraries on slow pc). So bassicly any documentation about extra parameters that can be added besides -o & -r

Thanks in advance

I believe Olly; made a Simba version with codehints ect stripped out of it (meaning it was purely for running scripts only and not developing them using it)

Do you by chance have a link for this as I can't seem to find it after a quick search?

However for the people wondering about my initial problem i fixed it with some shell commands:



@if (@CodeSection == @Batch) @then
@echo off

set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0"

start C:/Simba/simba.exe -o C:/Simba/scripts/yourscripthere.simba
timeout /t 10

%SendKeys% "{F9}"

goto :EOF

@end

var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.SendKeys(WScript.Arguments(0));



So now it fires up Simba with the selected script.
Sleeps for 10 sec
Sends the F9 key to the simba client (F9 is shortcut for run)

On windows this works to start up the a batch file


System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\\batchfilename.bat");

I may be mistaken, but unless he made a second version, the version you are talking about is actually the exact opposite.

The revision I know of him making was optimized for lape and included a large extension to codehints to work with member functions, overrides etc.

I believe he recently took it down off his dropbox, and I can't find the topic right now. I should still have it around somewhere.

[18/01/2015 6:17:50 PM] Olly: no, because it's just gonna sleep in that while nothing else happens
[18/01/2015 6:25:55 PM] *** Olly sent file: Simba.exe ***
[18/01/2015 6:26:04 PM] Olly: try that one if you just want to run a script
[18/01/2015 6:26:09 PM] Olly: it has no ci/functionlist filling
[18/01/2015 6:26:16 PM] Justin: yeah that's fine

The Simba he sent never went public IIRC

Very cool :) would have been very useful especially when Lape was causing all sorts of crashes before due to CI.
