Hi folks -
Mac 0S 10.5.8, FMPA 10, Troi File 4.0
I'm using TrFile_ExecuteShell to run two different shell commands from
FMP. One of the shell commands (md5 - generate checksum on a file)
works from FMP, as well as from Terminal. The other shell command
(MediaInfo,
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/) works from Terminal,
but not from FileMaker. I've copied the exact text from terminal
(after having successfully run the command) into the Set Variable
script step in FM:
TrFile_ExecuteShell( "" ; "mediainfo -f output=XML --LogFile=/volumes/
[dir]/[filename.txt] /volumes/[dir]/[filename.mpg]" )
I've tried both commands on the same file, and have tested several
files. In all cases, running either command in Terminal works
perfectly, running md5 from FMP works perfectly, but running mediainfo
from FMP does not return a result (including any sort of error code.)
The command should save a .txt file, and when run in Terminal, it
displays the result in Terminal as well as saving the file.
Any ideas why a shell command will return no results using
TrFile_ExecuteShell, when it returns good results when run from
Terminal? Oh, and I don't think it's timing out, but I tried running
it with "-DontWaitOnResult" and "-TimeoutSecs=10", with no better luck.
Thanks,
-Katherine
