On Win2k/XP, one way to do it is to run a script that watches activity
in the folder.
han= file.watchfolder(path, cmd, maxwait, keywords)
Monitors activity in the folder given by path: when a change occurs,
executes the cmd.
in your example, cmd would be initialized as (untested):
local [EMAIL PROTECTED](,)?
or all on one line (watch for folded line below):
han = file.watchfolder(??c:\MyDocuments\mydoc.txt?,
[EMAIL PROTECTED](,)?)
Then enter the following text in file
watch_and_run.powerpro in the scripts subfolder of your powerpro folder:
@notepad
args path file
win.debug("running",path,file)
do("notepad.exe",path++??\?++file)
quit
For further details look for keyword watchfolder in the online help
file.
