Hi,
i`m confused a bit about the function
"name_from_command(STRING* to,char* extension)"

seems the function does not work
the compailer error output is
"name_fom_command" undeclared identifier

and the description of this function is in the german manual
available but not in the english version

can someone explain this to me?

Do you include strio.c?

yes and i can`t find "name_from_command" in strio.c

You are right. I have this code to extract the *.c filename from the commando string:

str_cpy (temp_str,command_str); // get the main script name

var pos = str_stri(temp_str,".c");
var start = str_chr(temp_str,-pos,' '); // -pos --> search backwards
var end = pos + 1;
var len = str_len(temp_str);

if (end > 0 && end < len)
str_trunc(temp_str,len - end);
if (start > 0)
str_clip(temp_str,start);

if (file_exists (temp_str)) str_cpy (DT_SCRIPT,temp_str);
else DT_SPLASH("Main script not found",dt_font_25);


Maybe you can use that instead of the other

tnx

I do not know this function. Maybe it was planned, but abandoned before release.

then you should delete this entry at the manual
and dont confuse the users
