VisualFortran and DLL

gaudart · ‎03-06-2003

Hello, Please help me it's urgent

On Visual Fortran I have to automate routine tasks. I want to do with only one command this :
build toto.exe
execute toto.exe
copy some files from toto project (results of toto.exe) to titi project
build titi.exe
execute titi.exe

I've seen that I can't do that with MACRO (VBScript) but it's seem possible with VIsualBasic or VisualC++.
I see the documentation on line but I don't success now and my problem is urgent.
For example I don't know how can I traduce these tasks in Visual Basic or Visual C++ ?
Is someone know how can I do to write on command doing all these tasks and connect it to Developer Studio ?

thanks for help

Well, if it can be done in VBScript, it certainly can be done in VB...

However, a simpler approach comes out if you type in the command prompt:

C:>dfdev /?
Usage:
  MSDEV [myprj.dsp|mywksp.dsw]  - load project/workspace
...
        /EX          - execute a VBScript macro
...

So, if you know how to write the macro in VBScript, you can write a batch file which will automate the task.

START /WAIT msdev /EXMyMacro

should execute your macro and wait until completion; the rest should involve just COPY.
