    All,

    Really my first time needing to use some command line Procs I wrote in a Windows Environment.

    What location is the best place to put them and do I need to use a .bat file?

    Thanks

      For basic Tcl function on Windows, you’ll need to have a Tcl interpreter installed.

      You can then run a wish or tclsh shell and run interactive Tcl commands from there – or you could source them from a file.

      Perhaps that’s too simplistic an explanation…

      What is it you’re looking to accomplish?

      Jeff,

      It is a Cloverleaf server running on Windows and I have some command line Tcl procs I use with Cloverleaf I would like to place there to aid in analysis, etc.

      Hi Jim,

      Hope all is well.  My assumption would be that you would put them in the ‘$HCIROOT\usercmds’ folder the same as on AIX as the directory structure on Windows should be the same as on AIX.  I would also assume (perhaps incorrectly) that you would need a .bat extension.

      Good luck!

      As I told Jim already.  In Windows, as in Unix, there is a path to $HCISITEDIR/scripts and $HCISITEDIR/bin.  <i>The </i>scripts directory already exists, you must create the bin directory.  So you can put procs or other executables under either sub-directory.

      Also, in Windows, if you add the .htc extension to each file  and then make sure the extension htc is associated with Tcl you can call direct.  Associate with:
      $HCIROOT/tcl/bin/tcl.exe

      You can also run direct from the command line with:  tcl <file name>.  And, as stated you can always bring up a Tcl shell to run commands or a proc.

      In the above you can use the command tcl and  hcitcl are interchangeable.

      All of the above are great for testing Tcl code prior to executing in the engine.
