Hello,
So I created the following macro:
/*\
title: $:/macros/runProgram
type: application/javascript
module-type: macro
<<runProgram program parameters>>
Example:
<<runProgram '\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PuTTY\\putty.exe\"' >>
<<runProgram '\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PuTTY\\putty.exe\"' '-ssh -X'>>
\*/
(function(){
/*jslint node: true, browser: true */
/*global $tw: false */
"use strict";
/*
Information about this macro
This is written to have a javascript run a windows program
*/
exports.name = "runProgram";
exports.params = [
{ name: "program" },
{ name: "parameters" }
];
/*
Run the macro
*/
exports.run = function(program, parameters) {
alert(program + " " + parameters);
if( !program) return false;
if( !parameters) parameters = "";
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var cmd = program + " " + parameters;
shell.Run(cmd);
return true;
};
})();
I added the tag $:/tags/Macro and have it defined as $:/macros/runProgram
(actual link
file:///H:/PRAQUILONE/TiddlyWiki/PatCave.html#%24%3A%2Fmacros/runProgram).
Now this, if it would actually work inside of TW, would call out to shell
and run an external windows program. As an example, I would pass it the
path and executeable to PuTTy and the IP address I want it to connect too.
I would like to have this where on another Tiddler, I have a link that
calls this macro and passes it the program and the parameters (like Putty
and "10.0.0.1" or whatever) and have it launch putty. This javascript code
will work if I make it a function inside an HTLM script tag and call in in
from the anchor link as the href and launches the program. I am hoping I
can do the same. But whenever I try to use this macro nothing happens.
Not sure if I messed up making or missed a step or what.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
