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
