launch %myscript.r argument1 argument2  ;so is this possible? (this 
line would be in another script
launch/as-is   %myscript.r arg1  ;is not active in this version REBOL/Core 
2.7.6.3.1 14-Mar-2008...but not sure it would do what I want.

Anyone know if there is  way to send faxes from comand line on windows...perhaps 
a dll (I've seen mention of faxcom.dll)

Steve, I always use CALL these days. Or Gabriele and Doc's async-call. 
By using system/options/boot, you can launch the interpreter you're 
running under.
Alan, I haven't done it from the command line, but a quick search 
makes me think it might be possible using Windows Fax and Scan, if 
your on the right OS. I did a fax interface for Bo a few years back, 
but it used APIs. Graham may have thoughts here as well. He's done 
a lot with Hylafax I believe.

Yes, I use hylafax which runs on linux .. but a windows client just 
has to do a http post of the file to the hylafax server
and in so much as rebol runs as a command line client, then it can 
be readily done.

Steve: call reduce [system/options/boot %myscript.r "argument1" "argument2"]
when you use file! call does a to-local-file automatically, and wraps 
it in quotes.

with launch you can probably come next to what you want with
launch {-s --do " script.r arg1 arg2"}

Launch is broken that's why Gabriele is suggesting using call instead
sqlab

[15146x2]
I use call too in my scripts, but the question was for launch.)
Ok, this way launch works as I would expect
launch {-sq" test.r arg1 arg2  }

Looks like Sterling's detach.r script in the library to detach attachments 
from emails has a bug.
See http://www.mail-archive.com/[list-:-rebol-:-com]/msg07169.html
Looks like Sterling's fix in that thread is also incorrect.  The 
problem is here

 boundary: headers/content-type
   if boundary: find/tail boundary {boundary="} [
        remove back tail boundary
        print ["Boundary string:" boundary]
   ]


where it looks for boundary="  but fails to take into account where 
there is not "
the first line is redundant, and the second line can be changed to 
a parse ...


   if parse headers/content-type  [ thru "boundary=" opt {"} [ copy 
   boundary to {"} to end | copy boundary to end ]][
        ;remove back tail boundary
        print ["Boundary string:" boundary]
   ]

which I think fixes it.
I discovered this when trying to detach files from gmail where there 
is not quote used, whereas hotmail uses the quote in the boundary 
string.
Hmm. Boundary won't have a value if the parse fails ... so

either parse ...  [

][
	 boundary: none
]
headers: import-email email

   either parse headers/content-type  [ thru "boundary=" opt {"} [ copy 
   boundary to {"} to end | copy boundary to end ]][
        print ["Boundary string:" boundary]
   ][ boundary: none ]
Just testing my script that logs into hotmail with gmail instead 
.. to download new email, and detach any attachments.  Seems to be 
working now.

I'm debugging some code here and found that the ARRAY mezzanine has 
at some point been rewritten during R2 versions. Does anyone know 
when this happened?
Henrik

looks like the change was made between 2.7.5 and 2.7.6.

Hello! I'm receiving the following error when processing a cgi form 
to send an e-mail of the response.  I correctly can send from my 
laptop, Rebol/Core -- command line, with my set-net settings in user.r 
but when I do the same thing on my hosting account I get the following 
error:
** User Error: Server error: tcp connection failed
** Near: smtp-port: open [scheme: 'esmtp] 
either only

most smtp servers do ip filtering on the input.  this allows them 
to know who is sending the email to them and will only allow ips 
they serve to connect.


since your hosting account is probably on a remote server, it won't 
be allowed to send data via your home smtp server account.

Sorry for the redundant posts.  Altme was updating and msg board 
wasn't being updated at the time. I thought I was losing the info.

you'd have to setup an smtp server on the hosting account.
that is ... if I understand your setup correctly.

Even though I'm able to send e-mails from my home computer via rebol 
console using my host's SMTP Relay?
Maxim

when you say hosting account, you mean a server on the net with its 
own dns/ip which is different than the ip being served to you by 
your access provider... yes?
Von
12-Dec-2009
[15169]
Yes, it's a shared hosting account; my provider is GoDaddy.
Maxim

its possible GoDaddy has an smtp relay you can connect to, which 
will accept connections from the hosted machine.

your internet provider will not allow anyone else than its own allocated 
ips to make an smtp connect... for sure.

SMTP Relay lets you send email messages through your email account 
using your existing email service. For example, you can continue 
to use Microsoft Outlook to compose, receive, and send email messages, 
but the actual email messages are processed through our SMTP relaying 
services. This lets you bypass ISP restrictions on your outbound 
email messages and allows you to use your professional looking "[sales-:-coolexample-:-com]" 
email address rather than a general “[sales-:-ispname]” address.
Does this mean, I'll need to use perl: sendmail?

godaddy has it's own smtp server
Maxim
12-Dec-2009
[15174x2]
so, von, if you have a godaddy mail account setup, you can connect 
to its smtp server directly. 


is your hosted machine's set-net function setup to connect to something 
like [smtp-:-godaddy] ?
set-net is the rebol networking setup function. it is usually run 
on install and is stored in your user.r

I have the following smtp in my set-net:  smtpout.secureserver.net
It works when I send an e-mail from my home laptop but not on my 
hosting account.
Graham
12-Dec-2009
[15178x4]
well, doesn't it ask you for a password??
esmtp requires a password
so you need to encode the password somewhere if you're going to use 
a script
and if you're not on your ISP ... it probably won't even let you 
send the email
Von

I've supplied all necessary info in set-net, which includes username 
and password.
Graham
12-Dec-2009
[15183]
well, then you need to a trace/net to see where the issue is

In the past I've always used /usr/sbin/sendmail to send e-mails via 
cgi but I'm lost on how to do it via Rebol.
