Execute less compiler anywhere on the computer
- by Xenioz
I'm having a little problem with executing *.cmd files so I can execute them anywhere on the computer with cmd.
What I exactly want is to execute the less.cmd file, which support optional arguments and uses lessc.wsf (Less.js compiler for Windows Script Host) for converting less css to pure css.
The less.cmd contains:
::For convenience
@cscript //nologo "%~dp0lessc.wsf" %*
What I've done so far:
added absolute path to lessc.cmd to the PATH system variable and moved .cmd in the PATHTEXT system variable to the beginning.
Also did this:
From a command prompt;
assoc .bat
should return with
..bat=batfile
If not
assoc .bat=batfile
to restore the default file type association.
ftype batfile
should return with
batfile="%1" %*
If not
ftype batfile="%1" %*
to restore the default "Open" action for the file type.
This still doesn't work unless I approach the cmd file with a absolute path in cmd, if I enter lessc anywhere else then I get
C:\Intel Intel is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
, I've restarted my computer more than once to be sure changes will take effect.
I hope somebody has the answer.
