Calling Julia? #208

Open StatsMan1953 opened 2 years ago

StatsMan1953 commented 2 years ago

Has anyone had success using Julia with BERT? If so, please share the details.

I have tried without success adding my path to Julia in %LocalAppData%\BERT2\bert-config.json within the subsection

"BERT": { ... "Julia": { },

Also, I am confused about the path format requirements, since in https://github.com/sdllc/Basic-Excel-R-Toolkit/issues/124 the developer said "Make sure to escape backslashes", yet LocalAppData%\BERT2\bert-config.json contains

"BERT": { ... "functionsDirectory": "%userprofile%\Documents\BERT2\functions"

and %userprofile% does not escape backslashes!

Thanks,

As far as I can tell BERT is no longer under development. My experience is that it still works for calling R, but I have not been able to get it working for calling Julia. So I created my own solution at https://github.com/PGS62/JuliaExcel.jl

Be aware of the shortcomings of JuliaExcel - it's a much less polished effort than BERT. But it does work.
