RE: [TSVN] Re: The Nightlies...

Hi Russell,

In my experience with batch files on dos/windoze, it's the difference in the way you invoke your bat scrip... if you invoke it with 'call' (I think, could be 'start' or 'run') the cmd.exe interpreter returns to your batch-script, afterwards. If you invoke it directly, the new bat script overwrites the old one and you never return.

cheers,

Not easily. I have a bat file that calls TSVN's build.bat. I tried
getting my bat file to automatically copy the files after build.bat
runs, but for some reason after TSVN's build.bat runs, it never returns
to my bat file. TSVN .bat seems to completely exit after it runs which
is odd but I don't know why.

So it is a separate script that runs at a separate time that copies the
files, hence doesn't know if the build actually suceeded.

If anyone can work out why TSVN build.bat behaves oddly then this may be
possible.

Cheers

Russell
