#80919 - 2002-06-13 03:42 PM Command RUN and SHELL
ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 309 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	I use kix to start all applications on workstation and TSE in my company (the script read parameters in .ini files on servers and configure jus int time the workstation and TSE). I would appreciate to be able to start directly some kinds of documents like .doc or .xls (and all others extensions defined) with a command like RUN("documentname.ext"). Now, I have an error 193 and with the command RUN("%Systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe /c documentname.ext"), the return code is 0 because cmd.exe starts correctly. _________________________ Christophe

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	We can all be moderators (without delete rights anyway) advising newbies on etiquette. Ch Melin does have the right to make his suggestion. There may be reasons that he doesn't want to spawn a DOS box. Granted, he errored on the syntax and if it were just a syntax question, Starters would be the proper forum. There are a lot of wish list items for which there are work-arounds. That does not disqualify them for Suggestions. [ 13 June 2002, 19:29: Message edited by: LLigetfa ] _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	And lets not forget one thing... This board is english (UK types would call it American), with english syntax and english terms. While this is perhaps a majority in technical/MIS circles, we have a large contingent of 'foreigners' here. Wasn't there a long discussion on how to pronounce Ruud's name. I have to read MCA's posts twice just to translate it. We even have canucks here, and they cannot even decide what language to speak This isn't disparaging... many Europoeans speak several languages as well as speaking english better than many english types. (anyone from Louisana ) I know just enough Spanish to get in a fight, and can ask how much is that beer in German. _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	perhaps the reason they can't figure out simple instructions, is that they can't/don't understand them. not that they are stupid (like my users) _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

And ordering beer is a means of survival over there. [ 14 June 2002, 01:33: Message edited by: sealeopard ] _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	I think the little one makes it worth not being in the Army. Oh, that reminds me of something else. I will take a leave of absence from this board from June 15-28 because my wife and I will travel to Germany, visit relatives and friends, try to order beer, and do other fun things. Anyway, I'll be back on the 29., maybe even with a new KiXtart Golf Tournament. Just to let you guys know. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
