Synopsis

call {file} [parameter...]

Description

call command will transfer execution to another script. It will run the script until it meets the exit command or the end of the file.


Note: Right now EasyUO doesn't really support strings. Therefore, CALL won't work if the path to a file contains any spaces. Use the DOS short filename syntax to get around this problem.


wrong: C:\My Documents\blabla.txt


correct: C:\MyDocu~1\blabla.txt


Example

call subs.txt recall %runebookid %runenum
halt

Note: call arguments handling work exactly the same as goSub command. Thus, %0 will hold the number of parameters passed, %1 will hold the first argument passed value and so on. See exit command page for more infos.

EDIT on 23 jan 2008: For those who know nothing about MS-DOS shortcut thing, here's a way to get around it when using paths containing spaces(Tested on Windows Vista):

Wrong: C:\My Documents\file.txt

Correct: C:\My , #spc , Documents\file.txt (tested on Windows Vista, compatibility with older systems isn't guaranteed)
