  • error with (at)EXEC:...(at) command

    From Android8675@1:103/705 to All on Tue Nov 5 17:13:07 2019
    My main menu has the line:

    (at)EXEC:SUA-L10(at)

    which would call sua.js in my mods folder which prints the current user avatar into the main menu, the -L10 was so the box around the avatar would draw correctly, but for some reason my menu errors that it can't find sbbs\exec\sua-l10.bin..

    Something change somewhere recently with how (at)EXEC(at) functions?

    I moved the file to exec folder from mods and took off the -l10 and it worked ok, but that one ansi block is out of place. :P

    Yes, something changes. Stripping off "-L..." or "-R..." etc. meant that you couldn't execute/invoke programs or sctips with those character sequences in their filename. It was an oversight on my part. The fix is to use a |L, |R, etc. instead. This is documented here:
