Re: [Gretl-devel] Ignacio's tramo script

I believe this is now fixed in the current Windows snapshot, but it does involve some change in syntax for "!" on Windows. Here is the deal: * Gretl automatically waits for "!" commands to complete. * The apparatus of "cmd /c" is implicit, you should not prepend your command with that. * The shell command as a whole should not be quoted, although filenames with embedded spaces should be wrapped in quotes. * There's a new "set" variable, "shelldir", which sets the working directory for "!" commands (also on Linux). Thus suppose from inside gretl you want to delete the files *.t in directory c:\foo\bar. You could do set shelldir c:\foo\bar ! del /Q *.t Or (without shelldir) ! cd c:\foo\bar && del /Q *.t To run tramo in c:\userdata\tramo: set shelldir c:\userdata\tramo ! tramo -i baz -k serie This is partly, not fully tested. I can't say for certain that "shelldir" works on Windows, though it should. Allin.
