Thanks Keith,
I'll have a closer look at it.
Leanwhile I found in RB Magazin (issue 3.1 I think) an interesting
subject about console apps under RB by Joe Strout.
Cheers,
Youri

Hi Youri
Following a previous mail on the subject, can anyone confirm if it is
possible to create an RB app that will will be trigerred by a Shell
command, receive parameters from it and return a result?
For example, using the "shell.fmplugin"
Can I call a RB app from FMP, like for instance :
run myapp -w alert -m Hello World -l 50 -t 50)
with myapp being a RB exe that will return a window with the text
"Hello World" at 50px from the right and 50px from the top
A console app, yes.

eg pcl -a 127.0.0.1 -p 6352 -c hello -v
returns 'world' if I have my app running
Using tcpip or ipc

Even better, can myapp "answer" back to FileMaker with the result of a
calcul or User entry in an edit field.
Using the free shell plugin, yes
pcl -a 127.0.0.1 -p 6352 -c hello -v
returned 'world' into the sample shell.fp5 example on my machine.
