Stamp Project of the Month - RATBAS - HELP!!!!
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hi all (Al),
I've tried using RatBas but it dosn't seem to work. Perhaps I'm doing
something wrong.
I create a new xxx.bs2 file like below.
x var word
if x = 10 then
debug "hello", cr
else
debug "worked", cr
endif
I ran the program using the command
ratbas c:\xxx.bs2>c:\xxx_0.bs2
That worked and created a file called xxx_0.bs2, but the file it
created was of no size (0 bytes).
I'm not sure if it's because of something i've done or not.
I assume that this ap that you've written lets you use the
if..then..else loop which previously couldn't be used in a BS2 code
routine. Is this correct?
I'm also not sure how I send this to the stamp. If I write a
if..then..else loop in the Stamp Editor for Windows, it will not
tokinise the routine.
Please help, It would be great if I could use it.
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

(Java Developer's Kit) installed. Then you use:
java RatBas xyz.bs2 >xyz_0.bs2
The case on RatBas makes a difference. In other words, use RatBas, not
ratbas, or RATBAS.
Let me know if that works!

No, still not working. I already have JDK installed, and downloaded
the latest JRE just to make sure.
I keep getting a Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: RatBas
I've also tried the perl version (under apache, winnt 4.0) but no
success. Could you either provide the source code or some more
details about how to call the class or script please.
Sorry about all the problems...

From your DOS prompt, type
echo %CLASSPATH
It should have the directory for RATBAS in it.
I'm not sure about the RATBAS.EXE that the installer makes.
Try:
java RatBas
and see if it won't come up. If not, try:
java -cp c:\ratbas\;c:\ratbas\jakarta-oro-2.0.jar RatBas (or whatever your
path is)
The Perl version requires ActivePerl or some other command line Perl. It
isn't a CGI script.

downloading it again (Sorry). If you run it with the right classpath
manually it will work, but the EXE will not work unless you reinstall.
I'm still getting the kinks out of this Java stuff. Our new NetPorter
(www.netporter.com) has a bigger, smarter install (its on a CDROM so 10M
isn't a problem there). It works OK (I just checked to be sure).
Sorry for the trouble.
