Suppress load() messages

Well for a start, I don't see this behavior that every command's return value in the script loaded goes to the CIW, I see only the
return value of load() (usually t) and - matter of fact - whatever the code in the script prints to stdout.
Other than that, I am not aware of any way to suppress the display of a return value in the CIW other than setting the logfilter:
(hiSetFilterOptions t t t t nil t t)
So it's the fifth argument being nil that does the job.

Hello Max,

Thank you for the proposed solution. Unfortunately, it does not work for my case, as I cannot disable the printing of return values for commands entered in the CIW.

I was also surprised to see any messages appearing in the CIW after using load(), and I realized that the issue is caused by the commands used in my script.il.

Here is the content of my script.il:

I dynamically generate this script and execute it via load() inside a button callback of a custom form. As a result, a significant amount of unwanted information is printed to the CIW.

Could you please advise on how to prevent this output while keeping the default CIW behavior unchanged?

P.S. The plotter with the name "Encapsulated PostScript" may not be defined in your environment. To define it, please create a .cdsplotinit file in your working directory with the following content:

You have typos:

leiDisplayPlotOptionForm should be leiDisplayPlotOptionsForm

lePlotOptionForm should be lePlotOptionsForm

Could this be the source of your issue?

I apologize for any inaccuracies. I am unable to copy the data directly from the system, so I had to retype the text manually. The actual project does not contain these typos.

I just made the typo corrections made by Aurel and then set my log filter like this:

(hiSetFilterOptions t nil nil t nil t t )

This suppresses not only return values but also the prompt and the standard message output. I  subsequently loaded script.il upon which there is no output whatsoever in the
CIW output pane. I have no idea why this behaves different at your end. What virtuoso version are you running?

Unfortunately if you have just this sequence of commands it's a bit like doing a replay. Surrounding it with {} would prevent the intermediate return values, but the difficulty then is that it's going to block when the form appears. You can workaround this by reformulating the code as follows:

{
hiEnqueueCmd(lsprintf("%L"
'{
  lePlotSubmitForm->plotLibraryStr->value = "opamp090"
  lePlotSubmitForm->plotCellNameStr->value = "adc_sample_hold"
  lePlotSubmitForm->plotViewNameStr->value = "layoutTry"
  lePlotSubmitForm->plotPlotSelection->header->value = nil
  _lePlotAreaWholeCB()
  hiEnqueueCmd(lsprintf("%L"
    '{
      lePlotOptionsForm->plotPlotterCyclic->value = "Encapsulated PostScript"
      lePlotOptionsForm->plotPaperSizeCyclic->value = "Unlimited"
      lePlotOptionsForm->plotOrientationRadio->value = "Automatic"
      lePlotOptionsForm->plotCenter->center->value = t
      lePlotOptionsForm->plotFitToggle->fit->value = t
      lePlotOptionsForm->plotMailLogToggle->mail->value = nil
      lePlotOptionsForm->plotToFileToggle->send->value = t
      lePlotOptionsForm->plotToFileStr->value = "out.eps"
      hiFormDone(lePlotOptionsForm)
      hiEnqueueCmd(lsprintf("%L"
        '{
          lePlotDisplayOptionsForm->plotDisplayOption->drawAxesOn->value = nil
          hiFormDone(lePlotDisplayOptionsForm)
          hiFormDone(lePlotSubmitForm)
        }
      ))
      leiDisplayDisplayOptionsForm()
    }
  ))
  leiDisplayPlotOptionsForm()
  leHiSubmitPlot()
}
))
}

However, a far, far better way of doing this is to construct a template file. Bring up the existing File->Print form and then fill in the template file field and press "Save". Then you have an example of the template file. You can build this instead on the fly, and then simply call:

lePlot("myTemplateFile")

That's much cleaner and simpler than having to interact with forms as shown above.

Andrew, thank you very much for the proposed solution.

The template file is exactly what I needed. It works perfectly.
