#AREXX woes…
Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble writing an AREXX program to interface
Imagemaster with ProPage, and have a fairly basic question. What appears
to be happening is that I can get PPage to pass the name of a bitmap file
to Imagemaster, which then loads it. The only problem i'm having is that
Imagemaster thinks that the bitmap file is called "bitmap" instead of
bitmap <notice the quotation marks… That causes my file not to be saved
and is currently screwing up the whole thing.
I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on how to get AREXX to strip leading and
trailing double quotes off of a va character at a time. And since I don't
know how long the filename is before i start, it doesn't seem to work to
set the position as a template, unless there's a way to set it as "end of
line minus one character"
Any takers on this one?
BTW, i've almost got the IM-PPage interface working; it actually works at
present if I manually save the image from ImageMaster; what i want it to do
is automatically save the same bitmap (or a new copy of it…) and
automatically exit via an F=Key. I'll probably be able to post what i've
managed to do in a week or two; looks like it'll be just as nice as the
current "HotLink" to ADPro 😉
