Call function c:Beta from within function c:Alpha

[saitoib]

Hi all.

It's a little late for this, but...
Is it possible to call function c:Beta from within AutoLisp's my function c:Alpha?

Thank you.

You try this code (C:Beta) or (command "C:Beta")

[hak_vz]

You can have in your code

(defun alfa (.... / .....) )
(defun beta (.... / .....) )
(defun c:alfa nil (alfa))
(defun c:beta nil (beta))

And in alfa you call function beta

(c:beta) or (beta ... ...) 

C functions don't have arguments

Sure it is possible,

Real question is, what is the intention? are you planning to continue where Alpa command left off or right after what the main program finished with its task?  It can be a sub rather than a main function, especially if the program requires input from the user or a variable as an argument [ selecion set, string ...]

As an example

(Defun c:Alpha ()
  ; some functions ;
  (setq string (_Alpha&Beta (getstring "\nTell me something")))
  ;  more here ;
   )

 (Defun c:Beta ()
  ; some functions ;
  (setq string (_Alpha&Beta (getstring "\nTell me something")))
  ;  more here ;
   )

(defun _Alpha&Beta (str)
  (princ (strcat "\nDo a lot of formating with this ---> " str))
  (princ)
  )

I needed to use c:.
I was able to solve the problem with (command (c:Beta)).

Thank you very much.

@saitoib , you do not need the (command ...) call. The propper way to call it is without. Like so:

(defun c:ALPHA ( / )
  (alert "This is Alpha.")
)
(defun c:BETA ( / )
  (c:ALPHA)
  (alert "This is Beta.")
)

Just better practice to do it that way.

Best,
