Windows Command Code Resolved

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Hi Xavier - this is the revSetWindowsShellCommand from the revCommon
script:

on revSetWindowsShellCommand
  if the platform is not "Win32" then exit revSetWindowsShellCommand
  set the hideConsoleWindows to true
  if $COMSPEC is not empty then set the shellCommand to $COMSPEC
  else
    --just in case some windows versions don't use $COMSPEC
    if revRunningWindowsNT() then set the shellCommand to "cmd.exe"
    else set the shellCommand to "command.com"
  end if
end revSetWindowsShellCommand

I guess the two accomplish essentially the same thing.

Jon

here's a little function from XOS's scripts

on CheckShellPlatform
  if (the platform = "win32") and (word 1 of the systemversion is
"windows")
then
    set the shellcommand to "command.com"
  else
    set the shellcommand to "cmd.exe"
  end if
end CheckShellPlatform

cheers
Xavier
