Executing Prefix/Suffix commands
« on: April 25, 2017, 02:33:37 AM »
Any way to have VA execute derived commands formed from Prefixes/Suffixes? I haven't found an example (unless I'm using the "call by name" wrong).

Huh. I'd never actually noticed that(then again I don't use prefix/suffix); The "Execute Another Command" action in general doesn't support prefix/suffix, either when using the "Execute selected command" or "Execute by name (advanced)" options.

I went back to v1.5.12 in case it had anything to do with the "{CMD}" token change when using "Execute by name (advanced)", but it displays the same behavior.


As the limitation isn't mentioned in the documentation, I guess this is a bug.

I can use variables from the combined commands to make it all work in the one I was going to call them with if it's not possible. Probably be less overhead that way anyway. I was just trying to practice good subroutine methods so I don't have to backtrack if something changes. There's usually more than one way to skin a cat.
