Windows Command Code Resolved

[Lynch, Jonathan]

This works on my computer - much easier than the convoluted script I was
using.

I think Chipp's adding in the shortfilepath function was the key...

Earlier attempts at using this approach did not work for me, presumably
because quotes and spaces were confusing 'start'.

Thanks Chipp!

Hi gang,

Got it working. Pretty simple actually:

Here's the guts (after putting the filepath into fld "docPath")

put shortFilePath(fld "docPath") into tDocPath
replace "/" with "\" in tDocPath
put "start" && tDocPath into tDosCommand
set the hideconsolewindows to true
get shell(tDosCommand)

Here's a demo: type in the message:

go URL "http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/WinXPFileLauncher.rev"

best,

Chipp
