Okay, then I misunderstood you. Thanks.
Yeah, that sounds like the same issue I described.
It doesn't look like it is in Bugzilla specifically for Rx, so I'll add it there.

Re: REXX assign issue
Thank you...not holding my breath for any kind of fix or release, though

Re: REXX assign issue
but from AmigaOS 3.1.x upt to AmigaOS 3.9 the "RX" searches all the components of an assign target just fine. So it looks like Rxis prepared.
I can not test it anymore, but I am fairly sure on AmigaOS 4.0 this still worked fine, maybe even AmigaOS 4.1..

Re: REXX assign issue
Possible, can't say. I only run 4.1FEu1+.
Anyway, the issue is now logged and being looked into. But as I hinted above, don't expect it to be fixed soon.

Re: REXX assign issue
Just wanted to point out it did and does work on previous versions of the OS.
Great!!Anyway, the issue is now logged and being looked into.
I don't but I guess it's true, hope is the last one to die.But as I hinted above, don't expect it to be fixed soon.
Is there anybody still using ARexx anyway?

Thank you both very much for your endurance and very much possitive attitude.

Re: REXX assign issue
Of course - I use it a lot for various daily tasks, both recurring and one-time. I have a number of scripts tied to buttons in DOpus4, e.g. for launching various tools in connection with my translation work.

Dito.
I have rediscovered AREXX lately.
Wrote some scripts for my house installation (Heating), an automated updater script for some stuff (HOSTS, pci.ids, ca-bundle.crt), an automated backup script (using BackUp from Deniil) and a weather forecaster (just like WET, but for my village), all using the Notification message system (because i'm still not able to code [for] a GUI)
Maybe some day i'll switch to Hollywood, but i'm lacking the time for it right now.
...oh and i would have given up on AREXX already, if it wasn't for my trustworthy (and soon to be completely ripped apart) printed AmigaOS3.1 Commodore AREXX manual.
I really hope that there will be a printed AREXX manual again someday

Re: REXX assign issue
Have you tried BroadBlues' ProAction? It's quite usable from ARexx as well - and teaches you ReAction at the same time .
I use the good old ARexxGuide: http://aminet.net/package/util/rexx/ARexxGuide2_0A

I still use ARexx alot, for a variety of functions, some simple scripts, some more complex programs and subroutines. Always learning new stuff and (for me) new concepts as I experiment with MicroRexx, RxBGUI, RxMUI and ProAction. I'm not a programmer by trade, just like to tinker and learn as I go.
I use the following reference manuals:
Amiga OS 3.1 ARexx Commodore manual

Niels, thanks for the link to that ARexx guide at Aminet.

Re: REXX assign issue
I tried your test with the OS3 RX command and that didn't work on OS4.1FE either. Workarounds that worked for me are: rx REXX:amiga.rexx and REXX:amiga.rexxJust wanted to point out it did and does work on previous versions of the OS.
