I don't think that's necessarily true.  This works and has multiple parameters:

 

launch 'f:\rbfiles\acrobat\acrobat.exe| /p /h f:\rbfiles\webwinddirection.pdf'

 

I do remember having some trouble when the spacing wasn't just right - there should be no space between the exe and the pipe symbol, and one space between the pipe and the first slash for the first parameter.

Alastair,

 Thanks for the input.  I tried that approach and was unsuccessful.  It appears that the

LAUNCH command syntax passes only one parameter.

 

I ended up dynamically writing a batch file and then used LAUNCH filename.bat.

It works OK.

 

Thanks again.

Try it this way:

 

SET VAR vLaunchProg TEXT = NULL

SET VAR vLaunchParams TEXT = NULL

SET VAR vLaunch TEXT = NULL

 

SET VAR vLaunchProg = '[drive]:\[path]\winscp.exe'

SET VAR vLaunchParams = '/console /script=test.txt|w'

SET VAR vLaunch = (.vLaunchProg & '|' & .vLaunchParams)

 

LAUNCH .vLaunch

 

I have never found any reason why this should work (when the obvious doesn't) but it always does for me.

 

Regards,

Alastair

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Launch command

Can you pass two parameters with the launch command?

So far the below does not work.

 

launch winscp.exe|/console /script=test.txt|w

 

Thanks!
