[vineetvijay12]

Hi,
I have a requirement of writing a command in slicksdit which i will call through a user defined button.
I want to run a bash script in that command.

Quick help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

You should search for 'concurrent_command' in the forums for various examples and/or check the 'Help'.
Good luck, HS2

// change current directory to that of the current buffer
_command switchbuf_cd()

Wow - challenging...
Next time you should ask your employer for a bit more time to develop something you have no knowledge about

Hope this (windows) example helps to get the idea:

Code: [Select]

_command void cat () name_info (','VSARG2_READ_ONLY|VSARG2_REQUIRES_EDITORCTL)
{
   activate_build ();
   _str cmdline="D:\\Tools\\Unix\\wbin\\cat.exe" :+ " " :+ maybe_quote_filename( p_buf_name ) :+ " 2>&1";
   concur_command (cmdline, true, true, false, false);
}

Edit:
You can also use something like that to avoid hardwired paths:

Code: [Select]

   _str cmdline=get_env( "HOME" ) :+ " " ...
Do you need to change to the directory of the current file ?
(I've seen your code a bit late.)

Good luck, HS2

This should work:

Code: [Select]

_str fname = stranslate ( maybe_quote_filename( p_buf_name ), "\\\\", "\\", "" );Good luck, HS2
