[Gambas-user] Gambas 3.1 and Exec (Bug or NOT?)

[Sebi]

Hi! If the only thing you want to do is test if a given binary is present on any of the $PATH folders, you can use the CheckProgram function used on the Prooject.module file of the IDE source code. 

It returns false if present, true if missing. 
Hope it helps!

Hi,

Okay, so instead of executing command to a string and testing for length
of returned string, I now use Try Exec[] to string and that seems to the
job.

But now on closing the application gbx3 is not closed.
Some process seems to prevent the application from correctly closing.
The form closed but that's all.
