Having issues with "set capture file"

[pyutian]

I wrote this script to capture my morning routines and email the results to me, however, the set capture file does not seem to be working. It just openes the default file.

Any ideas?

Thanks

proc main
set capture file "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Procomm Plus\Capture\Plaza 2.cap"
set capture overwrite on
waituntil "6:28:00"
mr ()
endproc

proc sendit
transmit "^M"
endproc


proc mr
capture on
transmit "****LOGI ******^M"
waitfor "PASS?"
transmit "******^M"
waitfor ">"
transmit "ld 60^M"
waitfor "."
transmit "stat^M"
waitfor "." FOREVER
transmit "lcnt^M"
waitfor "."
transmit "!"
waitfor ">"
transmit "ld 96^M"
waitfor "."
transmit "stat dch^M"
waitfor "."
transmit "!"
capture off
mailit () ; and start a new one.
endproc

I got it figured out.

Hi pyutian,
just for other's benefit, who took the time to read your question -- care to explain what the problem was?
Thank you

What I found was that if you use the same string for set capture file and any other function that it will not always work. Also figured out that it is helpful to use set capture path alog with set capture file.

Sorry for the lack of info as I was knee deep in this project.
