Re: Can I step into a program called with `backticks`?

[roboticus]

bulrush:

You probably don't need to debug into the script you call via backticks--since it's a separate process, you should be able to just run the program under the debugger. You'll need to verify that you're setting up the arguments and environment properly, but from that point it should be easy enough to debug the program and find out why it's not completing.

Having said that, if your problem is that your spreadsheet isn't getting created, I get that problem occasionally, and usually get no error message for it. Normally it's because I'm holding something open by accident. Normally an explicit close on the workbook causes the spreadsheet to be created.
