Hi,

there are problems with the predefined macros ${.. e. g. for instance for custom validation engines. Example:

when I put ${FileDir} into the Initial directory box of the custom validation engine configuration screen and run the custom engine I get

Command line failed:
....
Initial Directory:
"r:\dtd"
Error Message: Der Verzeichnisname ist ungültig.

(directory name is invalid) because of the double quotes.

Another example:

using ${FilePath} always includes the protocol "file:///r:/cor000_edit.xml". Some programs only accept local filenames without protocol.

I already posted this a few years ago with a reply from Alberto Massari stating, that there are unpublished predefined macros in Stylus Studio, indicating one for the FilePath without protocol - ${LocalSomething} - unfortunately I can't find it anymore.

Could you please reply with a complete list of predefined macros and include them in the Stylus documentation? Is there a solution for the double quotes problem?

Regards

Kurt Wald

It seems like that Custom Tools behaves differently.
Try creating a custom tool with the following command line

${FileDir}\mycommand.bat

Hope this helps

Hi Ivan,

in fact it behaves differently. Why?

Are there still currently undocumented macros like one for the FilePath without protocol, which Alberto indicated and I unfortunately forgot?

Is there a way to define my own macros?

Regards

Kurt

The following macros are not exposed in the in list

${FileLocalPath} : local path with quotes

Valid only for the Arguments field

${SchemaURLFile}: schema URL


Hope this helps
