Hi All
I have managed (with the help of a script of Sarah's to create dynamic paths
and in turn creatre an absoute path to my apps folder. I also changed the /
to a \ for using the shell.
eg
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq\My
Now I want to have this as part of a script that runs an app from the
command line.
The old script was "hardwired" to one folder (C:\Armbase etc) and works.
the old script is
on mouseup
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
--space put in to assist reading
put "c:\Armbase\Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote & "c
---note no carridge return here, just wordwrapping
\Armbase\Components\Armbase.xdf" & quote into mycommandline
get shell(mycommandline)
put url("file:c:\Armbase\Components\Armbase.txt") into tFile
end mouseup
sarah suggested put myAppsFolder() & "\Components\PDATconv.exe" into tPath
so I used
on mouseup
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
put myApps\Folder() & "\Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote &
--just wordwrapping here
myAppsFolder() & "\Components\Armbase.xdf" & quote into mycommandline
get shell(mycommandline)
endmouseup
when I substitute this in it does not work.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Bob
