Subject: Re: C++ Prefs file has an error?
Hi Vince!
Thanks for your quick response. I downloaded your latest 7.0p4 from your
site and installed it but it seemed to give me the same problem as
before. I found the message from Johan that you refered to in your
response and made the change he suggested but then it seemed like the
file alphaHooks.tcl did not load. I think this because I saw the message
in the lower left hand corner of the screen saying "loading
alphHooks.tcl" but it never advanced beyond that point. Here is the exact
change I made to alphaHooks.tcl and then saved and restarted.:
from
if {[catch {uplevel \#0 [list source [file join "$PREFS
${mode}Prefs.tcl"]]}]} {
to
if {[catch {uplevel \#0 [list source [file join "$PREFS"
"${mode}Prefs.tcl"]]}]} {
the only change was adding the quotes where Johan said to. I don't
really understand why this line needs to have the quotes at all when the
line above it which is:
if {($mode != "") && [file exists [file join $PREFS
${mode}Prefs.tcl]]} {
doesn't have any quotes at all and it seems to work OK. I did try to
debug this one myself by trying out the various commands in each line on
a standalone basis in the Alpha shell and it all seemed to work there
(whereas the previous code clearly did not work) but, as I said, when I
saved the file alphaHooks.tcl with the changes and restarted, it hung.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
