Title: Custom variables - Slash to backslash after project reopen
Post by: zdena on July 09, 2019, 10:41:29 pm

Hello,
I use custom variables (created by project wizard) for a command called later from Tool+.

The command for a terminal has some parameters initiated by slash mark. See the first picture Slashes.PNG.

But if I close and load the project again, the slash marks are converted to backslash marks  :( See second picture BackSlashes.PNG.
The command doesn't work with the backslashes of course.


This problem was already reported in the past

but without solution, if I understood well. Or did I miss something?

I also can do the calling of the terminal command any other way, but this way seemed to me the easiest.

There was an expansion macro/variable which converted slashes. Have you tried to use it?

Yes, I have.
I tried

Code

$(APP_PATH)\teraterm-4102\TTERMPRO $TO_UNIX_PATH{\C=$(SERIAL_PORT) \BAUD=$(SERIALMONITOR_BAUDRATE) \L=$(PROJECT_DIR)Log.txt \LA=E}

but it expanded as

Code

C:\apps_Portable\CodeBlocks17ar\teraterm-4102\TTERMPRO {\C=3 \BAUD=1000000 \L=D:\KomplexCB\_Vysilani_100\Komplex00\Log.txt \LA=E} 

But when I thought more about it today, I tried let the TERMINAL variable be

Code

$(APP_PATH)\teraterm-4102\TTERMPRO \C=$(SERIAL_PORT) \BAUD=$(SERIALMONITOR_BAUDRATE) \L=$(PROJECT_DIR)Log.txt \LA=E

and the macro put in the Tools+

Code

$TO_UNIX_PATH{$(TERMINAL)}

It expands now as

Code

C:/apps_Portable/CodeBlocks17ar/teraterm-4102/TTERMPRO /C=3 /BAUD=1000000 /L=D:/KomplexCB/_Vysilani_100/Komplex00/Log.txt /LA=E 

and it works amazingly partially in Windows  :-\

The terminal application started  :) but the path to the Log.txt is ignored and the file is created in the terminal folder  :(
If I try to convert the part back

Code

$(APP_PATH)\teraterm-4102\TTERMPRO \C=$(SERIAL_PORT) \BAUD=$(SERIALMONITOR_BAUDRATE) \L=$TO_WINDOWS_PATH{$(PROJECT_DIR)}Log.txt \LA=E

the expansion contains the { } brackets again and the backslashes inside are slashes unfortunately

Code

C:/apps_Portable/CodeBlocks17ar/teraterm-4102/TTERMPRO /C=3 /BAUD=1000000 /L={D:/KomplexCB/_Vysilani_100/Komplex00/}Log.txt /LA=E
