Hi,

I aiming to run a script within scite, but I am trying to hide the  
command shell.

Is there anyway I can associate the rubyw interpreter with scite to  
achieve this on a windows platform?

I have tried to change the file properties to rubyw.exe, and also  
adding rubyw.exe the Ruby system path

Scite is very customisable.

I think it’s in global options or in ruby options that you can choose  
to associate commands with menu options (and optionally give them  
shortcuts).

I had once options for “run”, for “run debugger” AND for “run with  
rubyw”.

In your ruby.properties:

command.go.$(file.patterns.rb)=rubyw.exe $(FileNameExt)

Take care,

I have it set up two handle both so when I execute an \*.rb file it  
executes with ruby.exe and  
when I execute a \*.rbw it executes with rubyw.exe

The SciTe site has details on setting up commands in the properties  
file.

command.go._.rbw=rubyw -w $(FileNameExt) $(1) $(2) $(3) $(4)  
command.go.subsystem._.rbw=1  
command.help.$(file.patterns.rb)=$(CurrentWord)!c:\chris\ruby\doc  
\ProgrammingRuby.chm  
command.help.subsystem.\*.rb=4  
command.name.1.$(file.patterns.rb)=Check Syntax  
command.1.$(file.patterns.rb)=ruby -cw $(FileNameExt)  
command.name.2.$(file.patterns.rb)=Code Profiler  
command.2.$(file.patterns.rb)=ruby -r profile $(FileNameExt)  
command.name.3.$(file.patterns.rb)=Code Formatter  
command.3.$(file.patterns.rb)=ruby -w U:/Chris/chris/dev/rbeautify/  
rbeautify.rb $(FileNameExt)  
command.name.4.$(file.patterns.rb)=RubyScript2Exe  
command.4.$(file.patterns.rb)=ruby -w U:/Chris/chris/dev/rs2exe/  
rubyscript2exe.rb $(FileNameExt)  
command.name.5.$(file.patterns.rb)=Ri Docs  
command.5.$(file.patterns.rb)=ri.bat $(CurrentWord)  
command.name.6.$(file.patterns.rb)=VisualuRuby Help
