On getting up, I tried building the simple beginnings of your project. No error checking yet, but the idea's there. I opened a new copy of the RB IDE and it presented me with a project containing a single window named Window1 I double-clicked on Window1 and dragged an EditField onto the window. In the propert pane on the right, I changed the name of the EditField from EdtField1 to URLfield. I then dragged a Pushbutton onto the window, changed its name to RipButton and its caption from Untitled to Play. I then double-clicked on the button in the window. This opened an event handler name Action. In there, I typed Dim s As String Dim sh As New Shell s = "c:/streamripper -d d:/ogg/streamripper - r " s = s + URLfield.Text sh.Execute s I then saved the project and pressed the Run button. Once the program runs , you can test the Play button on the window. The window needs it's title changed, the play button probably needs to check there's a valid url in the URLfield and of course it needs to be built. But that bare bones program should run if you treat it gently. -- Steve Garman Using REALbasic 2005r4 Professional on Windows XP Pro _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
