Tip of the Day: Using LAUNCH Command (MS Windows 7)
Product: R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 (32/64)
Build..: 9.1.5.20214 or higher http://www.rupdates.com
Using R:BASE, LAUNCH command is used to execute (or LAUNCH) another
application
or process, from within R:BASE eXtreme for Windows and higher. It designates
which file to execute. This means that the FileName can be set to any
file that
has a corresponding association registered with Windows. For example, setting
FileName to 'README.TXT' will invoke the Windows NotePad when launched. If a
full path is not specified, the current search path is used.
The LAUNCH command can be used to launch programs, as well as files associated
with programs.
If you are running R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 on "MS Windows 7", and if you have a
file, such as MS Word with built-in macros, you may use the following syntax
to LAUNCH:
-- Example 01
LAUNCH 'winword|f:\temp\test.doc /mTestMacro|W'
If a folder path, file name, or parameter contains spaces, double quotes (")
must be added.
-- Example 02
LAUNCH 'winword|"f:\temp word files\test.doc" "/mTestMacro"|W'
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
