Clips 6.3 Expected the beginning of a construct. Not Working

Question

Can anyone help me too?

I have, Lab3 - load1:

(deftemplate persoana(slot nume)(slot varsta)(slot culoare_par)(slot culoare_ochi))

And Lab3 - load 2:

(clear)

(load Lab3 - load1.clp)

(assert(persoana(nume "John")(varsta 25)(culoare_par "brunet")(culoare_ochi "albastri")))

(assert(persoana(nume "Alice")(varsta 30)(culoare_par "blond")(culoare_ochi "verzi")))

(facts)

(retract 1)

(modify 2(varsta 32))

(printout t "Suma a doua numere: " (+ 5 3) crlf)

But, when I loaded the load1 file: CLIPS> (load "C:/Users/Cristian/Desktop/Facultate/IA CLIPS 6.3 Laboratoare/Lab 3 CLIPS/Lab3 - load1.clp") Defining deftemplate: persoana TRUE

And when I loaded next file, load2: CLIPS> (load "C:/Users/Cristian/Desktop/Facultate/IA CLIPS 6.3 Laboratoare/Lab 3 CLIPS/Lab3 - load2.clp")

[CSTRCPSR1] Expected the beginning of a construct. FALSE

Why? What is wrong with this app?..

Answer 1

You need to use the load command for loading constructs (such as deftemplate in load1.clp) and batch command for executing commands (such as clear, load, and assert). If you change the arguments to the load command in load2.clp to make it a valid path (e.g. you can't have spaces in a path unless it's delimited by double quotes), then you can run your lab by using the batch command on load2.clp.
