Success!! The @equals suggestion worked. Thanks a ton.

[Davin Studer]

I did try IF  1(0).1(0).3(%g1).OBX(0).#5(0).[0].[0] eq “=” after I created the post.  And …

IF

 1(0).1(0).3(%g1).OBX(0).#5(0).[0].[0] eq =”=”

IF

 1(0).1(0).3(%g1).OBX(0).#5(0).[0].[0] eq ‘=’

IF

 1(0).1(0).3(%g1).OBX(0).#5(0).[0].[0] eq =’=’

I’ll try the @equals suggestion

Setting the compatability mode on the install file to XP SP3 worked!

I’m having trouble installing 5.7 on Windows 8.

[Davin Studer]

This is what I have done in our Windows environment.

proc myProc {} {

   set cmd “[exec cmd /C C:\Foo\Bar.exe]”

   if {[catch $cmd result]} {

       echo “ERROR: An error occurred running “$cmd”.”

       echo ”     Result was: $result”

   }

}

Since you are trying to execute a .vbs file you may need to actually run wscript and pass the .vbs file as a command line parameter to wscript rather than try to run it explicitly.

Ok, that helps somewhat but really I could do this by just running a batch file after connecting. The real kicker is that there are a SLEW of environment variables to set to get it to actually work. That is the real issue.

[Davin Studer]

Nope.  I never got it resolved.

[Davin Studer]

It has nothing to do with the Windows OS.  It is a bug in Cloverleaf.

[Davin Studer]

Found out the issue.  Apparently many of the hci commands do not work in alerts on a Windows system (as per Cloverleaf tech support).  Lovely!  However, there is a workaround.  If you put the command in a batch file and then execute the batch file from the alert then it works just fine … odd, but true.

[Davin Studer]

Except that I can remove the start completely and the thread never stops.  So, that part is not even happening.

[Davin Studer]

By the way if I copy and paste these two actions into the command shell it does exactly what I would expect … stops and restarts.  So, the commands are written correctly and the process and thread is spelled correctly.

[Davin Studer]

I didn’t really think about doing it with TCL.  I wanted an alert so I got stuck on that train of thinking.  I ended up using TCL to do it.  Thanks.

[Davin Studer]

Thanks a ton.  That helped.  I was able to get it to work.  The iterate part was the part that I was unsure about, but after some fiddling I got it working.

[Davin Studer]

Yes, we did use  SUPPRESS.  It worked fine.

[Davin Studer]

I was wondering about using SUPPRESS, but the documentation on it in the help files is kinda lame.  It doesn’t really explain it very well.
