I'm surprised that not using a one-line bacth file to launch the KiXtart script is actually worth a couple of hours of writing/testing/debugging another script.


I've already explained this. I needed my "solution" to be all-in-one... one file that does everything. I cannot expect future users to remember to shuffle multiple files around - and - let's be honest - a solution involving multiple scripts (a batch and a KiX script) just isn't elegant.

Besides, it's done. It wasn't a couple of hours, it was about 10 minutes. I've spent more time discussing it on this forum than it took to actually write the Perl script...

You could always try passing an empty var as a "command-line switch", e.g.
Code:

kix32 script.kix $a $b




Thanks, but this wouldn't have helped. I need to pass a file name, not just a switch.

Thanks to all who replied,
