Hello Andreas!

It seems to me that SendRexxCommand() do not work as described in the docs.

The following example tries to print the current arexx ports in to the Hollywood window:

Code: Select all

CreateRexxPort ("SUBMIT.1")

_ports=SendRexxCommand("SUBMIT.1","say show(ports)")
print ("---".. _ports .."---")

Repeat
    Waitevent
Forever           

If you run it then the result of the SendRexCommand() is shown as some debug output and the print command prints an empty string as _ports.

Could you examine and/or clarify this?

Ok. I found the way that works.

Code: Select all

x=FindStr(SendRexxCommand("REXX","options results;pp=show(ports); return pp"),#port,True)
