script problem autocad 2015

Hello all

I am having a problem running scripts. I have used before with no problem but a few years back.

It runs the line command but responds to the first coordinates with "unknown command"

I have added a sample file.

Thanks in advance.

Super simple you have a space on the end of the co-ords just remove it or Line 0,0 1,2

Thank you. That was it. I seem to remember that the space was the equivalent of pressing enter...

Thanks again

It is, but in a script so is a newline, so it looks to Autocad as though you are pressing enter twice which was causing the problem.

I often ended my longer scripts with a RESUME statement which prevented several blank lines going off at tangents.

I can't actually remember what the command does but it worked for me!

I have just remembered. My previous scripts were headed "point".

When doing point scripts it seems the space is required?

I moved your thread to the The CUI, Hatches, Linetypes, Scripts & Macros Forum. Please post in the appropriate forums.

Tom thats a different issue, in the case of point it only takes a single coordinate and the command finishes, when you have that extra space autocad reads that as the equivalent of the enter key and actually restarts the last command (point) and then reads the next coordinate.

Ah! Thank you Steven.
