Windows Command Code Resolved

[Lynch, Jonathan]

One other thing to consider adding to this script...

In the rev front scripts, which accessing the windows shell, they use
this command:
revSetWindowsShellCommand

Which I guess makes sure that Rev uses the correct type of shell command
for the specific windows system that the user is using. (I believe it
has to choose between cmd.exe vs. command.exe)

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
