Sleep on Blackberry

Is anyone using sleep on a blackberry device?
Also, is it possible to embed a sleep script in the sleep.jar, or in another .jar file?

Hi Lance,
I think that will work fine them, throwing a null exception is one
way to tell the Sleep interpreter to halt all action and just stop at
the next instruction. There is a race condition though where if an
instruction is about to call a Return happens, your thread gets
called where you do the flagging, the Return executes and flags a

Sorry, I should have said the script was being called and interrupted from
within Java.I haven't looked at continuations yet - I've only just started
looking at Sleep, but looking at an earlier post on this list, what I ended
up doing, was calling :

scriptInstance.getScriptEnviro nment().flagReturn(null,

Hi Lance,
Are you trying to create a mechanism for signaling a running script
to stop? I recommend creating your own mechanism using continuations
and having your scripts use it. Something like this:

inline checkSafe
{
if (whatever condition you want)
{
callcc {
warn("Function $1 is now paused");

Can I interrupt a running sleep instance?

2009-09-08T14:06:33Z

Subject says it all really - Is it possible to interrupt a running
sleep instance, whether it be in a loop, or a user defined function,
and if it is currently executing a user defined function, can that
function get notified that the script has been interrupted?

Cheers

Hi Raphael,

I checked the second form of exec function. It's working well for me :-)

Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi Alen
There is a second form of exec that accepts an array where the command
and each argument is represented as an array element. This is
probably what you want as it allows you to use whitespace in each
argument.

$handle = exec(@("expect", "try.exp", "arg1", "arg2", "arg3", "aa bb cc"));

How to execute another script from sleep

Hi,

I want to execute an Expect script from sleep script. So, i am using
the "exec" function as following:
$handle = exec("expect try.exp arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4'");

It runs fine if there is no whitespace in any of the arg<n>.
I want to ask how to pass the argument which has some whitespaces in

Re: What is the syntax for having multi-line literals?

Multiline literals? We don't need no steenking multiline literals!
I think this is a good point, I will look at the documentation and
include this as a potential addition. In the meantime, here is how
you do multiline literals in Sleep:

$x = "this
is
a
multiline
literal!"

It works with single quoted expressions as well. If you're looking
