Allow a parameter on Gosub

Post by Baldrik » Tue Feb 22, 2005 10:56 pm

...so we could code things like the request from ferque6 for a single-line...

cntl>a


as...

gosub>cntl,a

srt>cntl
press cntl
send %GOSUB_PARM%
release cntl
end>cntl


Regards

A very simple workaround (and works just fine from a design point of view, since msched scripts normally contain global variables anyway) is:

Let>GOSUB_PARM=cheese
Gosub>cntl

Allowing "cntl>" (SRT) to be recognised as a command is ... dangerous. It hinders new native commands in MSChed. What if a new feature is added that just happens to be named the same as what someone has already?

However, it may indeed save a few lines of code by allowing the
Gosub>cntl,cheese

I think it would be very useful this feature in Gosub
