Title: I need help on a a script!
Post by: Gulliver on September 03, 2009, 03:49:45 AM

Hi, I am trying to get the following script to do the following:
Check if omniscsi.device exists
else quit this script and run PlayCD
if not exists omniscsi.device then continue with the following part:

IF NOT EXISTS ENV:PlayCDpatch
    SETENV PlayCDpatch=""
    STACK 8192
    RUN >NIL: Playcdkludge 3    ;Unit number of your CD-ROM Drive here!  
    STATUS >ENV:PlayCDpatch COMMAND Playcdkludge
    PlayCD
    BREAK $PlayCDpatch
    DELETE >NIL: ENV:PlayCDpatch
ENDIF

Any help appreciated. I am sorry, I am not good at all with programming, even lame scripts!

Which part of the script is giving you problems ? Looks ok to me, although it does not mention omniscsi.device anywhere. I am not sure what you need.

If the problem is to detect if there is omniscsi.device... I guess there would be better solution too, but atm this kludge comes in my mind :)

failat 21
version omniscsi.device >nil:
if fail
 echo "does not exist"
else
 echo "exists"
endif

Put anything you want instead those echos... quit command quits the script :)
