Hi, better late than never, I hope.. the following works for me w/ WinHugs Feb2001: c:\> d:\progra~1\Hugs98\WinHugs "-Ec:\Progra~1\winedt\winedt.exe -E=c:\Progra~1\winedt\WinEdt.Ini [Open('%s');SelLine(%d,7)]" c:\src\haskell\SomeFile.hs i.e., notice that the entire -E option is surrounded in d-quotes, not just its contents. hth --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Molyneux" <molyneux@kingston.ac.uk> To: <hugs-bugs@haskell.org> Cc: "Chris Reade" <Chris.Reade@kingston.ac.uk>; "Paul Reardon" <bs_s515@kingston.ac.uk>; "Dan Russell" <djrussell@kingston.ac.uk>; "Barry Avery" <B.Avery@kingston.ac.uk>; "David Martland" <D.Martland@kingston.ac.uk> Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 02:46 Subject: WinHugs Command Line Parsing
Hello --- This is to report a possible bug with WinHugs command line parsing. We have installed hugs and winhugs from hugs98-Feb2001.msi.
We need to run hugs or winhugs with an option to set the editor, like this
-E"I:\business\winedt32\winedt.exe -E=H:\WinEdt.INI [Open('%s");SelLine(%d,7)]"
This tells Hugs to use the WinEdt editor which is given its -E option to set the place it looks for an initialization file (ie the users local file not the network copy) and to open the file %s at line %d with colour red (7).
With hugs.exe in a DOS box this option works fine. However with WinHugs we get the error message
ERROR [Open(%d),SelLine(%d,7)]" - Unable to open file "[Open(%d),SelLine(%d,7)]""
and the editor is set to ``=H:\WinEdt.INI''
It looks as if the command line parsing for WinHugs (but not Hugs) is taking the second ``-E'' as a Hugs option (not a WinEdt option).
A workround is to set registry settings or set the environment variable HUGSFLAGS but command line options are safer since users may reset registry settings and affect the next user of the machine (we are running MS-NT with a Novell networks).
Has anybody else come across this problem and are there ways of quoting things to get the command line to work for WinHugs?
