Hi Bob,
In each of your examples that don't work, what would happen if you
prepended the content of 'mycommandline' with a 'cd' to the directory
where the desired executable lives? Seems like that should make it work,
since "c:/" may not be the default directory from the Command
Processor's point of view.
FWIW -

Hi All.
I am completely baffled by this.
OK I have a script in an app that looks for three files in a folder.
EG master folder called armbase with an app called armbase.exe
in folder armbase ther eis a folder called components.
Within the folder called components ar ethe three files I want to
access. One is called armbase.txt one called armbase.xdf and another
called PDATconc.exe (I run PDATconv.exe from the shell command.
OK here is the problem.
If my script points to the full path eg in this case
on mouseUp
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
put "c:\Armbase\Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote &
"c:\Armbase\Components\Armbase.xdf" & quote into mycommandline
-- the above is in one line it is just truncated by wordwrap in my email
program
get shell(mycommandline)
put url("file:c:\Armbase\Components\Armbase.txt") into tFile
repeat for each line tLine in tFile
etc etc etc
Then the script works fine.
However if I use truncated versions (what I think of as relative paths)
the app does not run the externals.
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
put "Armbase\Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote &
"Armbase\Components\Armbase.xdf" & quote into mycommandline
-- the above is in one line it is just truncated by wordwrap in my email
program
get shell(mycommandline)
put url("file:Armbase\Components\Armbase.txt") into tFile
repeat for each line tLine in tFile
or use this version
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
put "\Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote & "\Components\Armbase.xdf"
& quote into mycommandline
-- the above is in one line it is just truncated by wordwrap in my email
program
get shell(mycommandline)
put url("file:\Components\Armbase.txt") into tFile
repeat for each line tLine in tFile
or use this version
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
put "Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote & "Components\Armbase.xdf" &
quote into mycommandline
-- the above is in one line it is just truncated by wordwrap in my email
program
get shell(mycommandline)
put url("file:Components\Armbase.txt") into tFile
repeat for each line tLine in tFile
I thought that if the folder was in the same directory as the app then
it would work. I need this to work because it would save lots of
problems with running multiple versions.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Bob
