Thanks Mike:)
Your code works, but the problem is when you have the quotation marks at the beginning of the string;

More to this. The problem actually seems to be with whitespace before or after the quotation marks.

Well, I tried to find a way to manage them, but finally it's a limitation of george scripts -_-

Then another of working around this problem would be to have the ability to pass arguments to scripts. Is this possible with george script?

Arf, no, it's not possible.
And if it was possible, I think there would be the same problem with the double-quotes.

Would it also be possible, with this method, to run a shell-script on Linux system?

On a Linux-install I tried using the tv_runscript -command. But it only accepts "*.grg" files.
Everything else results in an error.

I found a way!
In Linux, (on windows possibly too), one can create a FIFO, a named pipe that can act as a file(but is just a buffer ). With george it is possible to write text to it :

Code: Select all

tv_WriteTextFile "Append" /tmp/TVPAINT_FIFO "<functionname> <argument>"

Now one only needs a pythonscript running that listens to the '/tmp/TVPAINT_FIFO' and interpretes the text that is sent to it, as a command to execute a function with its argument..
That listenerscript can be run in the background with crontab or maybe even more fancy, as a service...
