I was trying to run a main file from within a batch script. I have run it simply from the file, and it works, but if I try to call it from within a loop cycle I get a syntax error.
I do something like this:
n=10
for i=0, n do begin $
& .run main.pro $
& endfor
and main.pro can be something as easy as this:
print, 'hello'
end

Humm. Don't really know what to say, except this is "All Wrong!" What is
it, exactly, you are trying to do?
Cheers,

Ahahahah
because batch files are a list of commands you would insert in the command prompt, I assumed that you could just put executive commands in a batch.
I solved my problem calling a pro from a main.
Anyway I should stop using IDL, it feels too much like programming in the 90s.

Yes, *especially* the way you are using it! ;-)
