From my experience its also customary for programming groups to go off in
tangents that have *nothing* to do with the question -- which is why I, as
I've explained and you now ignored, stopped providing it.

Take Evertjan for example.  Good intentions, but he focussed on something
not even remotely related to the question, assuming that what I posted as an
example c/would not work.

Dave, nonwithstanding his good intentions, focussed on presenting a series
of absolute horrible DOS-era IPC solutions where none was needed (I
mentioned in my OP that I could access the "parents" data) -- though he
caused me to realize I could simly wrap the command in a function, thereby
giving its variables a local scope, which helped me further.

Ulrich, with the same good intentions, suggested to use the "run" command,
which was definitily not what I asked for.

And you ?  You suggested the same ...  Why ?


As for the misunderstandings and wrong assumptions ?   Which ones did *you*
make ?   And for gods sake, how ?   Was my question not clear ?    If not,
what do you think I *should* have asked ?

And if you know what I *should* have asked, why didn't you let me know ?

Figure *what* out please ?    You seem to know, I have no idea what you are
hinting at there.

> You could have also figured out the scope with a simple test.

As my old teacher always said "measuring is knowing".  Which he always
followed up with "if you know what you're measuring ...".   In other words:
to be able to test something you must first be aware that there is something
to test and how.

As for testing that scope ?   What has that got to do with the question ?
Or with the top-half of my previous post ?

Or are you just trying to find something to complain about, trying to
cover-up your own flaws ?   And a nice one: I acknowledged that I'm not a
know-it-all, and you're bashing me for it.   Good show kid. Not.

Which oversight please ?    And if you do not know exactly which one, care
to mention which ones I *could* have made ? -- You seem to be the expert
here.

You can't ?   Than (again) don't bullshit me please.

Not by a long shot.   I regard myself as mediocre at best (even though my
friends do not believe I'm serious in that).

But it *is* (a bit of) remarkable that even though I had to figure out
everything myself (and probably have stumbled into every pitfall there is
along the way) I was able to reach the answer before you could.


And odd.   You (obviously) consider yourself knowledgable enough to respond
to a "I have never used this command an could use some help understanding
it" -level question like mine, but than are unable to use all that expertise
to figure out what the question is actually all about (but at the same have
not bothered to ask clarification of it) ...

And no, no need to reply to this.   I will read it if you do, but thats most
likely all.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
