Building a small batch file to run on a Window jBase server.
Batch file executes a curl command build inside the jBase program.
I 1st tried to EXECUTE the curl command CAPTURING RESULTS, but the remote
server returns an error. I filtered all the illegal character out of the
curl command just in case. No luck.This happens to work flawlessly on a
Linux server.
So the next approach is to create a DOS batch file and execute the batch
file with the curl command inside the batch file. Works 1st time but then
the trouble starts:
So I have a GOSUB RUNCMD that calls the sub below with the curl command
inside the CMD variable:
RUNCMD:
OSDELETE 'temp.bat'
EXECUTE 'touch temp.bat' CAPTURING JUNK
OSOPEN 'temp.bat' TO TEMPDOSFILE THEN
OSBWRITE CMD ON TEMPDOSFILE AT 0
OSCLOSE TEMPDOSFILE
EXECUTE 'temp.bat' CAPTURING RESULTS
END
OSDELETE 'temp.bat'
RETURN
With the debugger turned on, outside RUNCMD sub, I can follow the progress
through the sub line by line, everything works and the remote server
receives the curl command correctly and returns the correct data in the
RESULTS variable. All good. When the execution gets to the RETURN command,
one expects it to jump back to the 1st line after the GOSUB RUNCMD, but
instead it jumps back to the RUNCMD: label and it repeats the sub over and
over in a loop that you can not break out of.
Surely I am very tired because it is late and I am missing something really
really obvious. Thanks for looking :)
