this script is used in SF8
Somebody, please help. for some reason, when i use the Do command, it prevents me from adding markers via script. Any ideas why? If i comment it out, then everything works fine.

Here is the File that performs the Do command. Below this is the file that the Do command calls.

Script 1:
_________________________________________________
import System;
import System.Windows.Forms;
import SoundForge;

//Run with one file open and the Region Lists visible (Menu: View, Regions List)
//Sets markers at set intervals, creating names in this format: prefix+time+suffix
//NOTE: Look for MODIFY HERE to quickly update the script with your own preferences
//NOTE: Uses an undo wrapper, so that you can undo all markers in one step

public class EntryPoint {
public function Begin(app : IScriptableApp) {

var wnd = app.ActiveWindow;
if (null == wnd)
{
app.SetStatusText("Open a file before running this script.");
return;
}
DPF("Reading Files...");
var strDir = "\\\\pmi-w63\\C$\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\htdocs\\pastors_perspective\\audio\\Categorized Questions from 2008 - 10 October";
if (readFiles(strDir) == 0)
return;

var FileIndex = new ActiveXObject("FileIndex.Start");
FileIndex.Initiate();

FileIndex.SetDir(strDir);

var arrayLine = dirFiles[0].split("*");
var shortPath = arrayLine[0].split("/");
var shortPathCount : int = shortPath.length - 1;
var strFileName = shortPath[shortPathCount];
var strQuestion = arrayLine[1];

DPF("FileName: "+strFileName);
DPF("Question: "+strQuestion);
FileIndex.CreateOpenFileTest(strFileName);
Do("Script.OpenFileTest");

if (null == wnd)
{
app.SetStatusText("Open a file before running this script.");
return;
}
//MODIFY HERE.
var step : double = 12.3; //change from every 12.3 seconds to something else
var szPre = "pre"; //first part of the marker name. Type "" to leave blank
var szPost = "post"; //last part of the marker name. Type "" to leave blank


var myfile : ISfFileHost = app.CurrentFile;


var ccLength : Int64 = myfile.Length;
var ccStep : Int64 = myfile.SecondsToPosition(12.3);

// create an undo wrapper, so we don't end up with an undo for every marker that we create...
//
var szUndo = String.Format("Create Markers every {0:g} seconds", step);
var idUndo : int = myfile.BeginUndo(szUndo);

var mk : SfAudioMarker = new SfAudioMarker(ccStep);
var name = String.Format("{0} {1:###.##} {2}", szPre, myfile.PositionToSeconds(ccStep), szPost);
mk.Name = name.Trim();

myfile.Markers.Add(mk);



// close the undo wrapper, and tell it to keep the changes.
//
myfile.EndUndo(idUndo, false);


}

public function readFiles(dirPath){
var txtFile = new ActiveXObject("sfReadFiles.Open");
var txtInfo = txtFile.DirFiles(dirPath);

if (txtInfo == "")
return 0;
dirFiles = txtInfo.split("[files]");
return 1;
}

public function Do(cmd) {
ForgeApp.DoMenuAndWait(cmd,false);
}
public function Do(cmd,fUseLastPreset) {
ForgeApp.DoMenuAndWait(cmd,fUseLastPreset);
}

app.SetStatusText(String.Format("Script '{0}' is running.", Script.Name));

app.SetStatusText(String.Format("Script '{0}' is done.", Script.Name));

Um, yeah. That's not going to work. The script engine isn't recursive. A script can't run another script and then get control back when it's done.

But there isn't any need for a script to run a script. Just put all of the the code into a single script and then run it. In your example, you should just call app.OpenFile from the original script rather than trying to do it indirectly by running another script.

Of course... i was being lazy from having to convert the syntax of c# to jscript, but now I got it. Being that I am not too familiar with the c# syntax, I was reluctant to doing. Nevertheless, thanks so much! Your info pushed me in the right direction. Thanks Again.
