args not passed to .tcl script in batch file

[rick h]

Have tcl scripts in .bat files that expect arguments. Works fine in
XP. When run in win7, the script does not receive the values passed as
parameters.

Net: argc is 0; argv is empty.

Have taken UAC to lowest level. Have changed the properties to enable,
read, write, execute, etc.

All scripts are in c:\program files (x86)\star.

e.g
runtranslator.bat contains the following
shell-translatorTCL.bat "/Star/sims/source_scenarios/IF_test.ssc"

shell-translatorTCL.bar contains the following
cd \Star\SIDE\sp_translator
sdd_scripttranslator.tcl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

I see that you rely on the associations. What happens if you change the
line to:

tclsh sdd_scripttranslator.tcl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

?

Also, the tcl directory is in the OS environment 'path' and extensions records.

Just put a ref to c:\program files (x86)\tcl\bin in the environment and it seems to be working...at least it is being invoked...


Thanks,

One last thought (question): why, using references, was the script initiated, but no parms passed?

Probably, because the "open"-binding for extension .tcl specifies
tclsh.exe(with correct path) but no parameters.

I have checked the association for .tcl files on my system:
assoc .tcl
.tcl=ActiveTclScript

Apparently the definition of "ActiveTclScript" is: c:\tcl86\bin\wish86.exe "%1" %*
(That is the information I get from the file manage I use. I have no clue as
to how to set that, but it is probably stored in the Windows registry)

The point is: with "%1" wish86 gets the file name, with %* it probably gets all
the other command-line parameters as well.
