ToCommandLine

ToCommandLine commandsStr​

The ToCommandLine operation sends command text to the command line without executing the command(s).

The intended usage is for user-created panel windows with "To Cmd Line" buttons that are mimicking built-in Igor dialogs. You'll usually want to use Execute, instead.

Parameters​

commandsStrThe text of one or more commands.

Details​

To send more than one line of commands, separate the commands with "\r" characters.

note

ToCommandLine does not work when typed on the command line; use it only in a Macro, Proc, or Function.

Examples​

Macro CmdPanel()

	PauseUpdate; Silent 1

	NewPanel /W=(150,50,430,229)

	Button toCmdLine,pos={39,148},size={103,20},title="To Cmd Line"

	Button toCmdLine,proc=ToCmdLineButtonProc

End



Function ToCmdLineButtonProc(ctrlName) : ButtonControl

	String ctrlName

	

	String cmd="MyFunction(xin,yin,\"yResult\")"		// line 1: generate results

	cmd +="\rDisplay yOutput vs wx as \"results\""	// line 2: display results

	ToCommandLine cmd



	return 0

End
