Can't Import XML file into my project console through the terminal

VM deep · 06-27-2014, 03:13 AM

Hi all,
I am trying to import an XML file into my project console via linux terminal. For that I have to execute two commands which are...
1)sh /home/spadmin/..../project console
(it is a terminal command, which is to launch my project console and wait for the console command as input)
2)import /home/spadmin/.../test.xml
(import the test file into my application through the console, it is not a terminal command, it is a console command)

However these two are working well if we execute them one by one like first one to launch the console and then give the second command with in that console to import xml file.

But if I want to execute them as a single command like "sh /home/spadmin/..../project console -c import /home/spadmin/.../test.xml" it is throwing the exception as "illegal state exception: No prototype context exists". I am in a situation to execute them like a single command like above mentioned. Please suggest me the solution. Ask me if you have any clarification regarding this scenario..
Thank you.

How about using a script?

Code:

#!/bin/sh
sh /home/spadmin/..../project console
import /home/spadmin/.../test.xml

Hi Andy,
I have already tried the script like that, but when we execute the first command the console will open, that's fine but the second command also be treated as a terminal command but not as console command, it won't execute with in the console resulted by the first command. That's the problem. Every line is treated as a separate terminal command which is not the requirement.

Any way, Thanks for ur response

i'm not 100% sure what you want, but maybe

Code:

sh -c 'command1 --options ; command2 --options'

would do the trick?

I think it might help to know more about the program you're using. Is it an open source project that has a home page?
