Hi, i downloaded today the cmask version from [GitHub - kunstmusik/cmask: Cmask by Andre Bartetzki](https://github.com/kunstmusik/cmask) i built it and it did a fine job at that: menno@mennoASUSZ170 ~ $ cd /home/menno/bin/CMaskSteven/cmask-master/source menno@mennoASUSZ170 ~/bin/CMaskSteven/cmask-master/source $ make g++ -O -c cmask.cpp g++ -O -c event.cpp g++ -O -c field.cpp g++ -O -c fileio.cpp g++ -O -c gen.cpp g++ -O -c mask.cpp g++ -O -c parser.cpp parser.cpp: In member function ‘void scanner::calc(long int, paramliste&, long int)’: parser.cpp:1384:20: warning: ‘%ld’ directive writing between 1 and 19 bytes into a region of size 3 [-Wformat-overflow=] 1384 | sprintf(pstr,"\tp%ld",i); | ^~~ parser.cpp:1384:16: note: directive argument in the range [4, 9223372036854775807] 1384 | sprintf(pstr,"\tp%ld",i); | ^ ~~~~~~~ In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:867, from /usr/include/c++/9/cstdio:42, from parser.cpp:3: /usr/include/x86\_64-linux-gnu/bits/stdio2.h:36:34: note: ‘\_\_builtin\_\_\_sprintf\_chk’ output between 4 and 22 bytes into a destination of size 5 36 | return \_\_builtin\_\_\_sprintf\_chk (\_\_s, \_\_USE\_FORTIFY\_LEVEL - 1, | ~~^~~~~~~~ 37 | \_\_bos (\_\_s), \_\_fmt, \_\_va\_arg\_pack ()); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ parser.cpp:1387:85: warning: ‘%s’ directive writing up to 1023 bytes into a region of size between 325 and 964 [-Wformat-overflow=] 1387 | ------ begin of field %ld — seconds: %.2f - %.2f --------%s%s%s%s",NL,fn,p.beginn,p.ende,NL,dummy,NL,NL); | ^~ ~~~~~ In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:867, from /usr/include/c++/9/cstdio:42, from parser.cpp:3: /usr/include/x86\_64-linux-gnu/bits/stdio2.h:36:34: note: ‘\_\_builtin\_\_\_sprintf\_chk’ output between 63 and 1725 bytes into a destination of size 1024 36 | return \_\_builtin\_\_\_sprintf\_chk (\_\_s, \_\_USE\_FORTIFY\_LEVEL - 1, | ~~^~~~~~~~ 37 | \_\_bos (\_\_s), \_\_fmt, \_\_va\_arg\_pack ()); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ g++ -O -c quant.cpp g++ -O -c items.cpp items.cpp: In member function ‘double itemlist::folder()’: items.cpp:116:2: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Wreturn-type] 116 | } | ^ g++ -O -c tables.cpp g++ -O -c utils.cpp g++ -v -O -o cmask cmask.o event.o field.o fileio.o gen.o mask.o parser.o quant.o items.o tables.o utils.o -lm Using built-in specs.

Next thing i wanted to do is to run this cmask version from within Blue: /home/menno/bin/CMaskSteven/cmask-master/source/cmask %infile %outfile using the External Object. but got an empty window. Can it be that there is an issue with %infile? ---

> [@tjingboem](#): > > /home/menno/bin/CMaskSteven/cmask-master/source/cmask %infile %outfile I think it might be a simple problem to change from %infile %outfile to $infile $outfile? ---

Could it be so simple? Yes, it is. My mistake- all works.
