Hi Ed,
Sorrowfully, this is C++ syntax. In a C++ string '\' is used as an escaped
character. You need to first transfer the %1 in doubling the \.
An alternative is to write a very small C++ program that would
- tranform argc[1] to double the '\'.
- create a string toe say myScript.cpp(\"...")
- call gROOT->ProcessLine(cmd)
Cheers,
Philippe

Subject: [ROOT] parsing input line to root
Hi,
I am using root v3.02/07 on Win32. I have made an OS association of the
file type .root to launch root using the the following:
%rootsys%\bin\root %rootsys\myScript.cpp(\"%1\")
So, for example, when I double click (or type from dos prompt) abc.root, the
following is exected:
c:\root\bin\root c:\root\myScript.cpp("c:\analysis01\abc.root")
So far, so good. Root reports:
Processing c:\root\myScript.cpp("c:\analysis01\abc.root")...
The problem is, somewhere in the depths of the CINT (I lost the thread
within TCint::ProcessLineSynch) the argument to my script is transformed:
"c:\analysis\abc.root" --> "c:analysis0bc.root"
and of course, it does'nt work. If I could coax windoze into replacing "\"
with "\\" everywhere, the association would work perfectly.
Is there a way to instruct CINT not to treat a slash as a special character?
Thanks.
Ed Oltman
myScript.cpp looks like:
class CManage;
void myScript(char *fname)
{
gROOT->Reset();
gROOT->LoadMacro("myAnalysis.dll");
CManage *pM = new CManage;
pM->RestoreAnalyzed(fname);
}
