Hi all,
I have been trying, without sucess, to run
the program CRC32.EXE using Shell
from LiveCode.
This is the code that I am using:
put "C:\crc32.exe CRC32INPUT >CRC32OUTPUT.txt" into tCommand
set the hideconsolewindows to true
get shell (tCommand)
get URL "file:C:\CRC32OUTPUT.txt "
put it
Notice that I had already created the files
named CRC32INPUT and CRC32OUTPUT.txt
On the command prompt it works,
but not inside LiveCode.
I am testing this using Rev 2.8 and 4.0
using this DOS program

downloaded from this page:

Thanks in advance!
