Today I tried to reproduce the error, but I couldn't.
So, perhaps it was just a glitch ...

In newLISP-GS I have 2 tabs: 1. untitled.lsp (not used) 2. fip.lsp (used) When I needed to temporarily cut a part from src in tab 2, I clicked on tab 1 to paste it there. When clicking on tab 1 I get: select-text-tab-4BA94169-1423-4038-BDBF-F6363D38791A 105 0: Could not invoke method select-text wit...

I found an earlier report about this, but it does not seem to be solved yet.
When reverting back to Java 8 everything is just fine.

Can I be of any help to find the culprit?

Kind regards,
Arie

Hi rickyboy,

thx for the kind words! I'll dig in into your comments.

Would you be so kind to publish your amended version?

Best wishes,
Arie

I discovered the hard way that, when creating a Windows executable, only the 1 script mentioned will be part of that executable, so (load "script.lsp") will only be satisfied at run time of the exe, and not at generate time. Because I wanted to create executables having (load ...) in them, I created...

Maybe somebody is interested in the code below. The main function is to show the contents of the Windows path, line by line. You may specify a search string on the comaand line to filter the output. More important is the separate code for a function which takes care of the difference in command line...

I found the reason why it failed.
Mainargs did return nil in case "newlisp" was not found. Just a stupid error.
Sorry for bothering you.

But very nice that it is possible to load stuff and still create one executable in the go!

Thanks for being patient with me ;-)
Arie

I forget to mention important info:
- if run as a script it works
- if run as an executable it does not work

(BTW I'll have to check for both "newlisp" and "newlisp.exe".)

So, I tried this out. I have this code: (define (mainargs) (let (osargs (main-args)) (if (= (lower-case (osargs 0)) "newlisp") (1 osargs)))) And the main code: (load "mainargs.lsp") (define (showpath myargs) (let (pathlist (parse (lower-case (env "PATH")) ";") osargs (mainargs)) (println "===>" osar...

Maybe a dumb answer to self:
IF the first argument is the string "newlisp" it should always be a script.
Thx,
Arie

Warning: no trolling - no flame ware!!!! These days I compared the building of an executable from a (very small) comparable Python and a newLISP script. Python: - first install pyinstaller (which is quite big) - run pyinstaller for the script (create just an executable) - it takes quite some time an...

Hi,

I discovered that (logically) the first os commandline parameter "newlisp" is missing from (main-args) when run from an executable.

Is it possible to detect if a script is run as a script or as an executable?
That way it would be easier to test properly for both cases!

TIA,
Arie

Hi m i c h a e l good stuff doesn't come cheap :-( Did you use it only personally or also in business? For personal use it is quite expensive! But indeed thanks for the fantastic video's. So far the are really the best in teaching programming stuff the easy way afaict. Keep up the good work! Arie (a...

I am wondering which tools neglook uses to create these wonderful video's!
Would be very interested to know and use them.

Is it Powerpoint?

Since long I am a fan of languages that aren't bloatware. By that I mean they have a (very) small footprint on disk and often installing isn't even necessary. In my quest I encountered a few: - newLISP (in the past I dabbled a bit in it - no serious work) - Rebol (used that a lot) - Red ( red-lang.o...

Hi,

wouldn't it be nice to add 2 sections:
- General discussion
- Problems
to the forum.

It seems there is no right section for this currently.

Best,
Arie

Maybe you don't have installed the UTF-8 version? http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=Downloads

Ah, thanks! It is good to see that quite a few people have contributed. However it would be great for you, Lutz, to have sparring partners in order to secure the future of newLISP. If I only had the capabilities to do so... My C skills aren't so good. Are there folks in this forum who'd like to jump...

Hi,
just curious!
I am wondering if Lutz is the only developer of newLISP.
Are there any plans for the near and farther development future of newLISP.
Thx,
Arie

Or has it to do with:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4361
(spaces in name of installation dir?)

I tried the following: 1) %userprofile% is correct 2) %temp% is correct 3) deinstalled & reinstalled java & newLISP To no avail. However, I read Lutz's remark about directory security problems, so I deinstalled newLISP again and installed it to a different place (not in systems folders). And voilà, ...

Hi,
i get an error (from newLISP GUI server) when i try to start newLISP.

Run-shell:
Could not start C:\Program Files\newlisp/newlisp.exe -C -w "C:\Users\Arie"

What is wrong??
Thx, Arie

I don't know anything about that library, but there is a syntax error in your statement: unbalanced double quotes. Maybe that is the problem?
/Arie

Thx Ryon,

indeed this problem is known as issue http://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-10562

I registered there as a user to be able to emphasize the problem, but there seem to be server problems currently. Will try later.

Wow, Lutz you are a genius ;-)
Thanks a lot for the quick fix!
