LiteStep.net Forums

I can't seem to get this, basically, I want a whole bunch of text files or programs or whatever to open all at once....

For a quick example,

*Popup "edit all" ["$TxtEditor$" "$ThemeDir$theme.rc"]["$TxtEditor$" "$PersonalDir$evars.rc"]["$TxtEditor$" "$PersonalDir$popup.rc"]["$TxtEditor$" "$PersonalDir$hotkey.rc"]

Such that I can edit all the files at once rather than opening them individually... among other things, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't...

I'm using the newest litestep RC2

well...that should never work. you need to add !execute as covered in the docs to get that to work.

I did, and it still didn't work, properly. kthx.

These don't work.

!execute [blah1][blah2][blah3][blah4]

or maybe like this

!execute [blah1]!execute [blah2]!execute [blah3]!execute [blah4]

or...

!execute [blah]|!execute [blah]|!execute [blah]|!execute [blah]

or...

!execute [blah1|blah2|blah3|blah4]

This does work

oh, and just so you know, when I do it like this

!execute [blah1][blah2]

it works.

It seems to have issues, when you go to the third and sometimes fourth blah :P

action can be up to 256 symbols only (with already expanded eVars, of course)
so you need to:
a) make an alias:

*NetLoadModule alias-0.1
*alias !edit_all !Execute [bang][bang][bang][bang]

or

b) use mzscript

*NetLoadModule mzscript-0.9-beta_12
mzScriptUseStep
*Script bang !ShowTVProgram
*Script exec !bang
*Script exec !bang
*Script exec !bang
*Script exec !bang
*Script ~bang

nice. thx!

but where did you find that information? I couldn't find it?

from the sources :0

it is just a bug and need to be fixed I guess %)

does that mean it's NOT documented?

1) where you've seen _documented bugs_?
2) where you've seen _actual_ popup2 documentation?

1) There are quite a few known problems
2) http://www.flatface.net/~namaide/lsdocs/popup.html

Please report the bug you've found. We can't fix bugs that we don't know. It's surprising how many people expect bugs to be magically fixed without anyone ever reporting them.

I found it less than a week ago... I just wanted to find a reason first %)

I didn't realize it was or was not supposed to do that, I was just trying to get it to work :P

it was a known limitation that was discussed with .24.6 was released. the final menatlity was that nobody would run anything with more than 256 characters in it so they didn't have to change the variable type.

You sure it's not 4096?

orginally it is a result of experiments...

when the discussion took place it was set to 256...unless ilmcuts changed something recently because I ran into that bug recently also with a config menu I wrote.

Well, this:

ten 1234567890
fifty $ten$$ten$$ten$$ten$$ten$
*Popup "Test" !alert $fifty$$fifty$$fifty$$fifty$$fifty$$fifty$

correctly pops up an alert with 300 digits in it. And I don't see any limit for commands starting with ! other than 4096 for the entire line.

(actually I tried it without all the var expansion first, but I didn't want to screw up the forum layout)
