Just for the record...

Add a /b switch to the kix32 command line for running scripts in AT scheduled batch mode ( under "system account" ).

If KiX can be told that there is NO user context, this should clear-up those annoying eventlog errors !

Shawn.

Kix is a nice piece of work and there is only two thinks that I miss in the moment:

1. Compile Kix to an .EXE (see CJ comment)
2. A working md command that I can create multilevel directories (like d:\1\2\3\4) without using shell "cmd /c md d:\1\2\3\4"

For the rest congratulations Ruud.

Ok - I'm some way behind on this one but one of the useful things for me would be population of arrays e.g. instead of
dim $array[2]
$array[0]="var1"
$array[1]="var2"
$array[2]="var3"

you get

dim $array[2]=(var1,var2,var3)

...or something like that!

Doug

Option to disable implicit variable declaration - get those typos before they bite.

Add a parameter to DIR() to return filenames in an ordered form (ordered by filename,modification date)

Use an environment variable (KIXPATH?) to locate .SPK .WAV .TXT files and CALLed .KIX scripts.

Persistant (static) local variables in different scopes - I've created a couple of library routines which are called from various scripts. I'd like to make them totally modular, but I need to keep some variables between calls. The only option currently is to use variables in the GLOBAL scope, which means of course they can be modified by the calling script or another called script.

2D arrays:

dim $myarray[10,2]

I would like to be able to easily read and change file and registry permissions from within a script.

How about a built-in Perl interpreter? :P
Well gee it would be nice, but I guess then we've have a big bloated file which wouldn't be very nimble at logon.

But then again, is it really much an issue if you implement a system of always downloading the logon files to the client and then executing locally thereafter.

Ok seriously I think Kixtart needs two things the most:

1) The ability to pass and return variables from functions. This would allow for us all to start sharing functions and building Kixtart libraries.

2) More advanced data structures (how about a class? wooohoo..)

3) Console-less execution

4) Possible ability to compile scripts to exe

With these in place, we could just about fill in the rest of the functionality ourselves without modifying the base interpreter.

How about more font options instead of just big and small?
And the ability to adjust the Font height.

Sorry to keep this thread alive, but I have another request.

Single line IF statements.!

For example, how many people here need to use three lines to map a printer for a group...

code:

IF INGROUP("DPF01")
USE LPT3 "\\PRT_HO_SVR\DPF01"
ENDIF

Would it not be nicer to have...

code:

IF INGROUP("DPF01") THEN USE LPT3 "\\PRT_HO_SVR\DPF01"

It would mean that all those printer mapping scripts would be 1/3 smaller.!!

Just a thought

You can use:

IF INGROUP("DPF01") USE LPT3 "\\PRT_HO_SVR\DPF01" ENDIF

this is 1 line, ain't it?

Wiz, that "should" work... Kix is a totally freeform script language, so it is not reliant on line returns.

As an example i have used the following many times.

shell '%comspec% /c program.exe > "$tempFile"'
$nul = open(1,$tempfile,2) $return = readline(1) $nul = close(1) del $tempfile

That is 2 lines containing 5 different commands.
