CMath and the @PSHELL function

[Joe Caverly]

Hello @Charles Dye,
I cannot get the @PSHELL function to work with the CMath feature of the EditKeys plugin.

R:\>which @pshell64
@pshell64 is a user-defined variable function (%@strip[%@char[13 10],%@pshell[%$]])

R:\>pshell /s "$a=60"

R:\>pshell /s $a
60

R:\>:%@pshell64[$a]
%@pshell64[$a] = 60

R:\>:%@pshell[$a]
TCC: Syntax error "60
"

I'm trying a solution that you gave me a while back for working with @EVAL,
but it does not work in this instance.

It looks to me like the @PSHELL64[] approach is working, for both of us. It's just when we don't strip off the trailing EOL that things go awry.

I could add a hack to ignore carriage returns and line feeds; is that what you're looking for?

 

[Joe Caverly]

Yes, ignoring carriage returns and line feeds should solve the problem.

In the meantime, this works for me;

R:\>which psc
psc is an alias : pshell /s %$

R:\>:%{psc $a}
%{psc $a} = 60

R:\>:%{psc $a}+10
%{psc $a}+10 = 70

I've uploaded a new build; let me know whether it works for you.

Thanks @Charles Dye, works for me.

@setlocal
@echo off
pshell /s "$a = New-TimeSpan $(Get-Date) $(Get-Date -month 11 -day 15 -year 1960 -hour 23 -minute 30)"
pshell /s $a
