Quote:What really interests me is it's (planned but not implemented yet?) scripting support. I tried to test it by creating a script using the syntax reference on your site, and then running it, but I got "File execution not implemented yet...". Is typing a script's name the wrong way to run a script? Is it binaries, scripts, or both that aren't supported?
Typing a scripts name is the correct way of running it, but like it says, the run part isn't implemented yet, well, it is, but I found a nasty bug that overwrote the file when giving certain parameters, and I simply did not have time to fix it before the release.
If you look in the editor you see a greyed out Compile option, Novix can run both compiled (multitasked) and uncompiled (not multitasked) NS50 files. (This is disabled in the BETA though)
Anout the NS50 Syntax, what do you think about it?
Is it too hard?
I made everything single line on purpose, IE:
You can't do: %let a,5*7+3
instead you go:
%let a,5
%mul a,7
%add 3,a
What do you think?
Quote:Also, "cat source target" prints an error message if either file doesn't exist, meaning there's no way to copy or move files, short of creating an empty file using edit for cat to overwrite.
cat file1 > file2 (copies file1 to file2, overwriting file2 if it exist, otherwise it creates it)
cat file1 file2 > file3 (copies file1 and file2 to file3)
cat file1 > file2 "file 3" (copies file1 into file2 and "file 3")
There is no limit on the number of files in front or after the >
cat without > displays the content of the file on screen
so when you type:
cat source target
it tries to display the content of source and target on screen, use the redirect symbol > to copy:
cat source > target
Quote:Technically NVXFS's not really a file system. If everything, files and directories etc, is stored in a single file, then you could call it a file system.
I know, but making it a single file was too slow, I have to work out a better search algo before making it a real FAT (but rest assured that it will become a single file fat)
Did you try using paths?
cd Novix/system
or
cat "Novix/system/the file" (a space containing name should be enclosed in quotes, not really needed in this example, but it's good practice)
All commands and programs in Novix support paths
Although the Editor shows some bugs when using: edit path/file
Quote:That's pretty cool, Z!re. Good work.
Thanks :lol:
Quote:I take it the reason why it doesnt work on my system is that it doesnt support NTFS?
Well, so far Novix still depends a lot on DOS (it is QB you know) so, no, it does not support NTFS
