RE: What's wrong with my AbiCommand?

I tried the 'load $filename'

I am getting the same result: Aborted

I can send the debugging output soon.

I was just doing commands from the command line.

I also tried from php

$handle = popen("/usr/local/bin/abiword --plugun AbiCommand");
fputs($handle, "server");
fputs($handle, "load /usr/local/apache/sites/Toronto.doc");
fputs($handle, "save /tmp/toronto1.txt");

That did not work.

But the same idea with
fputs($handle, "converttotext /usr/local/apache/sites/Toronto.doc");

worked

So, something is not right with commands load and new

I'll look into the issues with "new". This actually creates a new document
and is a different code path than what I'd recommend.

I suggest you try "load <filename> "

to load a new document followed by:

"save <filename>"

If filename is omitted the file is saved to it's original name
Otherwise the extension of the filename is used to determine the format

You need to write some sort of script to pipe file names to AbiWord.

It's prolly just a stupid bug in the AbiCommand that needs fixing.
AbiCommand is only recently started to be used in anger.
