load a skill into the terminal

Titi

Hello, i try to load a skill (toto.il) into the terminal wish has launched my icfb.

I try it with an Opusserver but i can't load toto.il directly, i try to load it by using a variable "command" , when i set manualy (into icfb) command to "toto.il", all is ok, the script is launched. But i can'tset the variable command to "toto.il" into the terminal, i think the probleme is due to the string, the return is always "" or nil.

This is my syntax : 

echo "command = "toto.il" " | opusClient (This command always return nil)
echo "(load command)" | opusClient

 Have you a solution instead of my solution with opusServer ??

 Thanks.

  • Hi,

    I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, but I'm assuming that you want a DFII session to read a SKILL syntax file from the command line.  One way to do this is to use the "-restore" command line option:

     -restore filename   Restores a saved session from filename.

    E.g.

    icfb -restore toto.il

    Or you can read in SKILL in the .cdsinit file.  Or maybe you are trying to read SKILL syntax at a unix-like prompt?  There is the executable "skill" which when started gives you a prompt and accepts SKILL syntaxbut it does not contain all of the contexts that are loaded in icfb, icms etc. so it will not understand db*, le*, or sch* functions etc. Of course you could also starticfb etc. without graphics which will also give you a command line prompt in your terminal, for example:

     icfb -nograph

    I don't think that you can pipe SKILL commands at the command line prompt into a DFII executable (if this is what you are trying to do?), but you can start an external process from within DFII and communicate with it.  Here you would use the ipcBeginProcess and other ipc* prefix functions for 2-directional communication.

    If this is not what you are looking for, please re-word your  request and try again.

    Hope it helps.
