Rexx / Re: APMT test program grabs frame in KMP
« on: 2008.06.09, 14:49:44 »
Yes, KMPFS refers to KMP.EXE, "K Movie Player", as in the first code. That's
my file selector front-end. The frame grabbing works as is, though. It's other
problems that I'm wrestling with.
Here's the file name which produces the above listing shift (with > dir /w):
05 Eirini Merkouri - Mazi De Kanoyme Kai Xwria De Mporoyme (Tzini Magiko).mp3
Delete the spaces either side of the dash, and it lists normally. This is
reproducible on my system by pasting the above name to create a new file in a
new directory with "copy con" and a few garbage characters. It also garbaged
the VIO title with characters of "Welcome to the City" above, which was not
even in the new directory. SO I'm certain this somehow overflows a buffer. --
And if not clear, it only occurs with the "/w" switch.
BUT there's another file having space-dash-space, which doesn't cause the
problem, so I got rid of "05" and put back the spaces:
Eirini Merkouri - Mazi De Kanoyme Kai Xwria De Mporoyme (Tzini Magiko).mp3
and no problem. Conclusion, must have leading #s and " - ". Hmm. I'll rewrite
my renamer with this in mind, perhaps even to scan and fix the entire drive.
Interested whether anyone can -- well, I'm sure that you CAN reproduce the
effect, this has plagued me from W4 on -- so actually I'm curious whether
anyone WILL try it and go "Hmm..."
NOW BACK TO THE REXX PROGRAM EXITING. Put a delay right before "exit" and it
waits out, but then is exactly as if typed the "exit" on the command line. On
the other hand, running from an icon with "Close Window on exit" checked OFF
in Properties does show the "Completed" message and wait for click on close.
Hmmmmmmm...
