Hi All,
I have created a procedure that I can execute from a window command
line
for example,
idlde sayhello -args param1 param2
when i ran this procedure using the .sav file it didn't work, for
example
idl -vm = sayhello.sav -args param1 param2
It complains that the sayhello.sav function/procedure is undefined
but the sayhello.sav file does exist. Please let me know if the way I
execute my
procedure using the .sav file is correct.
Thanks!

Hi,
I suspect that this is *not* an issue with the Virtual Machine. To get
the most useful help from the list, you should post the complete error
message - exactly as IDL prints it.
Without more info we can only guess, and my guess is that somewhere you
have a variable called "filename" that you are indexing with parentheses
instead of square brackets.
filename(i) <-- IDL might think filename is a function
filename[i] <-- an element of a variable 'filename'
But, then again, you might actually have a routine called 'filename'
that didn't get compiled and stuffed into the save file, but,
nonetheless, gets called by the code that did make it into the save file.
Ben

Yes, as long as it is the name of the program you are trying
to run. :-)

I thought you can name the .sav file whatever you want to.

Does 'filename.sav' contain a procedure named 'filename'?

Hi Ben,
I have successfully executed the example above in the window
environment and
so I set out to build a more complicated procedures that I need to
create for
my work. After I build my .sav file from using idlde and ran the .sav
file
using idlrt -vm=filename.sav -args param1 param2 ...
I get the attempt to call undefined procedure/function:'filename'
message.
The .sav file is in the directory. Please let me know what I did
wrong.
Thanks

okay, I find out that print, var won't work in the virtual machine
under windows. I have to use printf.

Okay, I ran the above example from the window command line but it
doesn't print the expected
result. It ran through the process that I seen when I ran it under
unix. Under the unix I seen the
words Hello and World printed out but not when I ran under the window
environment. It didn't give
any error message so I am at a lost.
idlrt -vm=cmd_args.sav -args Hello World

Hi,
Look at the online docs for "Command Line Options for IDL Startup" (in
IDL 7 help it is buried in "IDL Users' Guides > Using IDL > Introducing
IDL") - scroll to the bottom for Windows specific info regarding this.

what do I need to modify to run the .sav file from the window
environment.
I know that window doesn't run idl but idlde so any help is
appreciated.

That is just what I was writing. I have used command line arguments
with save files in just that way, with no problems. The pick file
dialog is what IDL shows if one calls it with the -vm argument without
specifying the savefile to use.

Hi,
I suspect that the spaces you have inserted around "=" might be part of
the issue.
Here's how I run it from command line.
Minke:~ ben$ idl -vm=cmd_args.sav -args hello world
IDL Version 7.1, Mac OS X (darwin x86_64 m64). (c) 2009, ITT Visual
Information Solutions
arg[0] = hello
arg[1] = world
Here's my test routine
PRO cmd_args
par = COMMAND_LINE_ARGS(COUNT=numArgs)
IF (numArgs NE 0) THEN BEGIN
for i = 0, numArgs-1 do $
print, "arg[" + StrTrim(i,2) + "] = " + par[i]
ENDIF ELSE BEGIN
print, "No arguments passed"
ENDELSE
END
I made the SAV file this way...
IDL> .full_reset
IDL> .comp cmd_args
% Compiled module: CMD_ARGS.
IDL> SAVE, /ROUTINES, filename = "cmd_args.sav"
Cheers,
Ben

I read other posting and realize that I can't run the .sav file with -
args.
Here is an example what I try to accomplish.
I have a procedure that takes command line arguments as follow:
pro test
; parse the parameters
numArgs = 2
par = COMMAND_LINE_ARGS(COUNT=numArgs)
print, par[0]
print, par[1]
end
when I ran this procedure from the dos command line using idlde by
doing
idlde -args hello hi
and execute the test procedure it print both "hello" and "hi"
I ran the idlde build project and this creates a test.sav file
I need to know how I can execute idl -vm = test.sav from the unix and
passing
in the two arguments that I need. Is this task not possible?
Thanks
