Is is possible?

Is it possible to put the program "excavate" into a script? Say if I wanted to modify it so it will run the excavate command then go to the top, drop all the items, then start the excavate program again.

shell.run()
runs programs
1. Param.: Program,
2. Param.: Param 1 for the Program

Next time look at the wiki ^^

The excavate program is just a program found under the rom folder (found in /rom/programs/excavate). You can put it on pastebin to view using:

pastebin put /rom/programs/excavate

Or copy it to the root of your turtle using:

copy /rom/programs/excavate /myexcavate

Once you have access to it, you can start modifying it and making it do what you want.

EDIT: derrrrrrppppp. Just saw that you wanted to run the excavate program from another script. I should read more carefully….

Since shell.run now parses the line like the shell would, you can, in fact, place the whole shell command in the first parameter, like so:

shell.run("excavate 3")

Or even:

shell.run("gps host 35 253 17")
