Hi,
when trying to embed an Octave call in another script or in another process,
it is important that you can wait until Octave has finished.
With the WSCRIPT vbs start command on Windows, currently neither the GUI nor
the NOGUI option waits until Octave has finished.
So, WSCRIPT will end immediately after Octave is started in the background.
There is no way for the caller to decide to wait.
This can be changed in the startup script
C:\Program Files\GNU Octave\Octave-6.2.0\octave.vbs
by adding ", TRUE" to both wshShell.Run commands:
' start octave-gui, either with console shown or hidden
If GUI_MODE = 1 then
AllArgs = AllArgs & " " & chr(34) & "--gui" & chr(34)
wshShell.Run chr(34) & OctavePath & "\bin\octave-gui.exe" & Chr(34) &
AllArgs, 0, TRUE
Else
wshShell.Run chr(34) & OctavePath & "\bin\octave-gui.exe" & Chr(34) &
AllArgs, 1, TRUE
End If
It would be great if you can add this (or explain a different way to achieve
waiting in the caller process).
Thanks
Holger
