The Filer Execute command,EX, allows a text file to be passed to the Command Line Interpreter, or CLI. The effect is as if the characters in the file had been typed at the Cambridge Z88 keyboard. CLI files thus provide a means of specifying a sequence of commands or operations, which can then be carried out simply by executing the file. For example, an execute file could be used to carry out a frequently-used sequence of Replace operations in PipeDream documents.
Note:
If a CLI file fails to be interpreted correctly, it may not have been written with PipeDream or tested.
To correct this,
- Load the file into PipeDream
- Remove any spaces that are at the start of each CLI command
- Save the file as a 'plain text' file.
This will correct the line feed character if it was different, at the end of each line.
Other word-processors may use a different character than the one that PipeDream uses. When viewing the file it looks no different. To ensure that the correct character is used, load the file into Pipe
Certain characters are given a special significance in CLI files, to allow special keys on the keyboard to be represented, or additional operations to be carried out by the Command Line Interpreter.
