MCRUN

Execute a command after evaluating string variables.

Format:

MCRUN command

Parameter:

command

command to execute

Remarks:

Whatever arguments are given to MCRUN are executed as a McIDAS command. String substitution is done. This command may be most useful for running commands with McIDAS string substitution from the Unix shell.

Example:


ASK1 ANS {QUESTION}; MCRUN ECHO "##ANS

This command echoes the string the user types into the ASK1 window.


te.k STR \"TEXT; mceval.k ECHO \"#STR

This command, when typed in a shell-based McIDAS session, sets and echoes the value of the string STR.
