i figured out the crashes anyway.
I was selecting shared from the folderlist, when in reality THAt folder is produced as a result of the fgfs construct tool. it was there from my previous use with the command line.

The only prob i have is the xdistfld not showing the value.

Code: Select all

put "xdistfld" into txdistfld

seems to be the wrong line, it's putting the literal "xdistfld" into the variable, not the contents of the field as it should be

Code: Select all

put field "xdistfld" into txdistfld

HTH!

Thanks, that's working a treat now.

I swear some lines of code play leapfrog when you're looking at a script and trying to figure out what's wrong. They can't always do it the same way for different eyes though, so it's always handy to get someone else to look.

I have run into a problem with my GUI that prevents one of the tools working properly.

looking back, i think i new there may have been a problem.

In one of my tools

There is a shapefile menu

at the moment i bring the command line togther by selecting the folders and options required etc. which works fine.

I can hilite the required shapefile in the list.
the command line requires the .shp removing which is does fine.

The user creates a folder called "Road" or "Sand" whichever matches the shapefile.

Currently what i get is this

Code: Select all

shape-decode --line-width 10 --continue-on-errors --max-segment 1000 Shapefiles\v0_sand Work\v0_sand

What i need at the end of the command line is the name of the shapefile. with the first character changed to Capitals.

ie

Code: Select all

shape-decode --line-width 10 --continue-on-errors --max-segment 1000 Shapefiles\v0_sand Work\v0_sand Sand (added the last Sand, which could be Stream, Urban, Road etc.)

i have this script

Code: Select all

on mouseUp 
   local tShellCommand 
   if field "linewidthfld" is not empty then
   put "--line-width" & space & field "linewidthfld" into tlinewidthfld
      end if
   if field "pointwidthfld" is not empty then
      put "--point-width" & field "pointwidthfld" into tpointwidthfld
   end if
   if field "maxsegfld" is not empty then
      put "--max-segment" & space & field "maxsegfld" into tmaxsegfld
      end if
      if field "startrecfld" is not empty then
         put "--start-record" & field "startrecfld" into tstartrecfld
         end if
   if field "areafld" is not empty then
      put field "areafld" into tareafld
   end if
   if field "shapefilefolderfld" is not empty then
      put field "shapefilefolderfld" into tshapefilefolderfld
   end if
   if field "shapefilefld" is not empty then
      put field "shapefilefld" into tshapefilefld
   end if
   put line (the hilitedline of field "shapefilefld") of field "shapefilefld" into tshapefilefld
   replace ".shp" with empty in tshapefilefld
   if field"workfolderfld" is not empty then
      put field "workfolderfld" into tworkfolderfld
   end if
  
   

--put space & quote & quote into tShellCommand 
--the above line puts an empty pair of quotes to be the 
--first parameter passed to the shell command which is 
--necessary to act as the dummy console window "title" 
--if setHideConsoleWindows is true 
--so you will need to uncomment the line when you do that. 

put space & "shape-decode" & space after tShellCommand 
put space & tlinewidthfld & space after tShellCommand 
put space & tpointwidthfld & space after tshellcommand
put "--continue-on-errors" after tshellcommand
put space & tmaxsegfld after tShellCommand 
put space & tstartrecfld after tshellcommand
put space & tshapefilefolderfld after tshellcommand
put "\" & tshapefilefld after tshellcommand
put space & tworkfolderfld after tshellcommand
put space & tareafld after tshellcommand 
--answer "About to:" && quote & "start" & tShellCommand & quote 
get shell ("start" & tShellCommand) 
end mouseUp

so to clarify i need to add repeat whatever comes after the "_" and change the first character to a capital letter

which is where i'm at currently.
I think adding the extra part is a bit past my current knowledge base.

Thanks

Code: Select all

set the itemdelimiter to "_"
put item -1 of tshellcommand into tFileName
put upper(char 1 of tFileName) into char 1 of tFileName
put space & tFileName after tshellcommand

I am in need of the code or steps which converts .btg file to .hgt file....Please reply as soon as possible.....Thank you

Sorry, this is a Revolution forum, not a Flightgear forum. I don't think anyone here has the slightest idea what the tools are. We've just been helping Alex wrap up the tools in a Revolution gui to make it simpler to run. You'd be better off asking in a Flightgear / Flight simulator related site.
