console output to memo

(1/1)

jdmarch:
Using virtual launch string "appcapappendmemo" in a simple alias:
appcapappendmemo python c:\mypath\clipsum.py

1. Even though .py is an executable extension on my system (python), if I specify the command as only a .py file, it says "Error launching..." It works ok as shown above.

2. The output of the script goes nicely into the memo display, but the memo display does not scroll at all, must be scrolled manually each time to see the output.

3. How to clear the memo display?

4. This is moot because I ended up displaying all text from the python script, but I wanted to use the "showmemo" virtual launch string but could not find in the documentation how to combine two virtual launch strings in one alias command. Where is this described?

Thanks!

jdmarch:
While I didn't find answers by searching help or forum, I have found some answers by browsing the forum.

I learned that it's better to use:
appcap python c:\mypath\clipsum.py;;;showmemo %lastappcap%

Which does not answer 2 & 3 but makes them moot (because it clears the memo so scrolling and clearing are unnecessary.)

It does answer 4 (use three semicolons, which I now see is mentioned under "Alias launching tricks" in the help file.)

And (1)?

Thanks!

mouser:
1 is an interesting issue -- i may be able to solve that with a different call to shellexecute.

jdmarch:
