Title: Run process for .cmd files

**

Hi Radhika,

 

Run Process don't like environment variables, such as PATH.  Try the following:

"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c [insert path to EIG.cmd]\EIG.cmd $1$"

If you're testing from a command line, a good way to test these to execute them with the PATH variable cleared, from a directory not containing either the command interpreter, the script, or any input or output files the script may use.

Hi,

I'm trying to run a .cmd file from the Run Process of a filter. The following is the command line in the Run process command.

cmd /c start EIG.cmd $1$

But it is not executing. Could you please tell me what is the correct syntax ?

The file EIG.cmd is present in a path that is added to the PATH environment variable. I've also tried the path explicitly like cmd /c start C:\Program Files\EIG.cmd $1$

It doesn't work either.

The file EIG.cmd itself is correctl When I manually open a command prompt window and execute the same file, it works correctly. It just doesn't open

from within a filter !

Thanks
Radhika
