working on my sys op script some more... trying to make the output better looking,
But do to all the files already wrote into the twx directory,
Is there a way to write it to a new folder inside the TWX directory?

Specify a path... write to "c:\blah\whatever.txt" and that's where it'll go.

well was trying to do a new path within the twx directory.. which varies player to player...
makes it a easier to find...

write to ...\data\newdata\newdata.txt as a relative dir but folder must be there already.

3 dots? lol...

.\whatever\file.txt

. is current directory, .. is previous directory. It's all just DOS stuff.

In the gamestats script that I wrote I have the sysOp include the following in config.txt:

server name
path (where path can be wherever they want the file to end up. )

I should prob rename config.txt to GameStatsConfig.txt so I don't get clashes with someone's config.txt file.

Being able to create a new directory would be very nice. Could have a bunch of different uses, like creating auto-installation for scripts or script packs maybe..

Who knows.

actually it wont work that way.....syntax varies.....if anyone needs it hit me up on icq.

Hmm, really now... ok.

Here's code I just tested:


this_dir.txt was written to twxproxy's dir, and prev_dir.txt was written to my "tradewars" directory directly above it.

Seems to work just fine here. Naturally if the script directory has been changed you'd need to find the new one, or if there are other absolute directories you'd need to work on them specifically. But for simple relative paths this seems to work fine.

thaks guys
the ./worked fine
the directory having to exist sucks though.
If its basically old DOS, isn't there a way to get TWX to MAKEDIR ?

Well, DOS paths. I don't know of a way to get it to do makedir, but direxists and makedir commands would be quite sweet.

umm the old commands are mkdir and md not sure if you tried them
if so sorry to jump in

wilber

No....the Unix syntax workes also...

When I said it was "like DOS" I meant the path statements are like DOS, not TWXproxy. TWXproxy isn't like DOS at all, it does not have a makedir, mkdir or md command anywhere in the help file... and I doubt anywhere at all.

TWX has no provision for creating directories. It's probably a bad idea in the long term to add directory creation and deletion options, and I think that file navigation to parent directories should probably be limited to the TWX root directory. I shudder to think of the havok that a malformed script could wreak with those capabilities.
