[mfg-smartcam] Edit Plus file read macro question

[Michael Senack]

I’m trying to get SC to shell out and load Edit Plus. When I run C:\SM11\SHARED\wedplus.exe command I would like to know if it is possible to load two files at once?   I’m trying to load the following two files C:\SM11\MILL\JOSRPT\REPORT.TXT and #FILE in Edit Plus so I can print both of them in one session of Edit Plus. Then when I’m done I Alt & F4 back into SC.       STRING: #FILE   PROMPT[TX="What is the Drive, Sub-directory and SmartCAM V4.5 File name\n that you want to read?\n Example:  W:\BO3000\BO3456A", VN="FILE"]   READ[FN=STRTMP("%FILE"), FT=0]// read in the .sh2 file   // this makes a tool sheet and saves it as REPORT.TXT REPORT_STEP[SS=0, SB=0, IJ=1, FF="C:\\sm11\\MILL\\JOSRPT\\MSTEPRPT.FMT", OF="C:\\sm11\\MILL\\josrpt\\REPORT.TXT", OD=1]   // this shells to DOS and loads the REPORT file into Edit Plus so I can print it out for the operator // when the report is printed press Alt+F4 to exit Edit plus and return to SC graphic screen again SHELL[CMD_LN=STRTMP("C:\SM11\SHARED\wedplus.exe C:\SM11\MILL\JOSRPT\REPORT.TXT  #FILE"), DP=0, WA=0]  ß Hmmm…     It is the above SHELL command that is causing me the grief.   Regards, Michael Senack
