  • SRC file..

    From Bill McGarrity@1:266/404 to Digital Man on Fri Feb 16 20:02:29 2018
    Hello Rob!

    I'm trying to add a 'Clean-Up Command' to a door that will run a batch file to update some ANS screens. In the wiki it says that option can only run a .js or
    .bin file. I'm great creating batch files but don't have a clue on how to write
    a .src file that I can use baja on.

    There are a total of 6 different doors that have to run a batch file specifically written for each game therefore I am assuming I'd need 6 different
    .src files pointing towards each games directory where the unique batch files are sitting.

    Now how do I go about whipping something up? Do I need to use any !include statements? Do I use an 'EXEC_XTRN <.bat>' command within the src file? As you
    can probably tell, I'm a tad over my head here.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Are you positive is says that? Because it's not true. The cleanup command can be a native program or command shell script just as well as JS or Baja module.

    OK... I reviewed my entry and it seems it doesn't like the shortened path of ../xtrn/doorname/??.bat so I put the entire path in there and it now works.

    Thank you...
