command-line export data to php

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I need to open an STL file with Blender, run a com/tag/script">script that finds it's dimensions and send them to a php page. All of this should essentially be done through command line or a python com/tag/script">script.

So far I've been using cmd with this command:

blender -b C:\blenderTesting\test.blend -o C:\blenderTesting\ -P C:\blenderTesting\test.py

blender -b C:\blenderTesting\test.blend opens the file in blender

-o C:\blenderTesting\ sets the com/tag/folder">folder for the file to be saved to when finished

-P C:\blenderTesting\test.py runs the python com/tag/script">script that finds the dimensions of the object

When I use the above command cmd returns, Error executing Python com/tag/script">script from command-line: C:\blenderTesting\test.py (at line 231).

This is the end of the python com/tag/script">script

def write(filename):
    outputFile = open(filename, "w")
    outputFile.write(String);
    outputFile.close()

This is line 231 of test.py

Blender.Window.FileSelector(write, "Export")

I'm assuming the problem is that since I'm running this com/tag/script">script via Blender background mode it can't open the export window in Blender. I don't want to do this anyway, since I want the com/tag/script">script to automatically save the data in a php file. So is there a way to change the ending (line 231) of the python com/tag/script">script to automatically save the data without using the export window?

If not, could I accomplish this another way?

Thanks for the help!
