D&Do v. 1.0   Prev   Next   Top


Testing the Metascript

We assume that D&Do is already started. Reload the DirCreate.ms metascript. We get the following display (similar to the previous one, except for the target area).

Note: Up to that point, the freeware of D&Do behave the same way as its commercial version. Beyond that point, instead of executing the program, the freeware version will simply generate an error message at its status line:
ERR: Registration required for tagged drops feature
However, if you start D&Do from a DOS box, you will be able to see the resolved command line(s) in that box.

Let us illustrate with a concrete example (on a Windows system):

 

REMINDER: Remember also that setting EXEC to none has the effect of outputting the resolved argument list into the system clipboard. You can debug metascript files that way.

We have also explored a few more metascript parameters and realized that it is easier to create any new metascript file from a metascript template.
