script() function that sets Script

jcl,

It would be handy if there was a function script() that sets Script, much like algo() sets Algo.

I have an application where I am producing a lot of log files in a batch-heavy setup, with many unique command line options. It would be useful if I can supply strf() as an input.

Thanks,
Andrew

EDIT: In retrospect, it looks like Script has no effect on the name of log files, but only LogNumber does. Nonetheless, I do need to change Script when I have multiple live zorros running the same script.

Why not script(string s) { Script = s; } ?

Wouldn’t that cause undefined behavior?

For example, strf outputs a temporary pointer.

Youre right, but what about this

void script(string s) { static char S[50]; strcpy(S,s); Script = S; }

This works, thanks.

I think the newbies might appreciate a permanent implementation of this. (Rookie mistake: Script = strf(....))

We would then need such functions for all the predefined strings. But I'll put a remark in the manual for this case.

Makes sense, thanks.
