iwgen error: not configured filename extentions

I have looked up Article 2370 and did everything it says and when I run my genHTML rutine, I still get "filename.tpl does not have configured filename extentions"

I have also tried running the cmd on line and it gives me the same error - did anyone perhaps had the same problem?

I've included the subroutine below. THANKS
sub genHTML
{
my $dcr = shift;
my $tpl = shift;
my $html = shift;
my $iwgen = "$iwhome\\bin\\iwgen";

my $args = "-t " .$tpl ." -r " .$dcr ." " .$html;
my $gen_cmd = $iwgen ." " .$args;
print ("this is my cmd ", "\n", $gen_cmd, "\n");

system($gen_cmd);
}

Please post the section of templating.cfg that defines the data type for the PT and DCR you are using in your command.

my $args = "-t " .$tpl ." -r " .$dcr ." " .$html;

What are the values of $tpl, $dcr, and $html?

This information along with the requested information from your templating.cfg file may help to diagnose the problem.

BTW: You should probably simplify the above to make it easier to read (and a bit more efficient) like so:

my $args = "-t $tpl -r $dcr $html";

If you want to account for spaces in the file names and/or paths - try:

my $args = qq(-t "$tpl" -r "$dcr" "$html");

the three values are:
$dcr = $area\\$file
where $area is passed from workflow ARGV and $file comes from @files = $task->GetFiles()

$tpl = $area\\templatedata\\presentation\myTPL.tpl (hard coded for now)

$html = $area\\docs\\test.shtml

my templating.cfg reads:
<data-type name="en_generic" dcr-type="iwov">
<presentation>
<template name="myTPL.tpl" extension="shtml">
<locations>
<branch vpath-regex=".*" preview-dir="/">
<directory dir-regex=".*" /></branch>
</locations>
</template>
</presentation>
</data-type>

I try running this using the system() command ... because I saw other scripts do that. Could anyone kindly tell me what exactly does that command do? Maybe I should not be using it, then again iwgen won't even run from command line.

thanks

$tpl = $area\\templatedata\\presentation\myTPL.tpl (hard coded for now)

$html = $area\\docs\\test.shtml

(Interesting, italic double-backslashes look like double-pipes)

The path for $tpl above looks a bit suspect:

there seems to be some directories missing between templatedata and presentation
You only show a single-backslash prior to myTPL.tpl

Assuming that the above is just a typo in your post - I don't see anything glaring to pinpoint the source of the problem (sorry) - hopefully someone else will be able to spot it.

The only thing I can think of, which is a long shot, would be to convert all the double-backslashes into single-slashes:

$gen_cmd =~ tr|\\|/|;

before the print and system statements.

Re: system - run the following command in your DOS shell:

c:\> iw-home\iw-perl\bin\perldoc -f system
