Re: Windows script?
wscript.exe is one way to go. To learn how to write the particular script for MS Word on Windows, let it record a macro of what you want to do. You can pull the macro out into a text file and run it with wscript (with a few more commands to get Word started and point at the document). To record a Macro, you can type in "record a macro" in the "Tell me what you want to do" box. Or, go to the Views tab and find Macros on the right. Google is your friend - running VBA macros.

Windows script?
I have an AppleScript which is called from 4D with four numeric parameters. Provided MS Word is running and the cursor is in a table, it fills columns 2 to 5 of the table with its parameters and tabs out of the last column, probably creating a new row in the table. I’m now called upon to make the 4D application, and hence the script, work under Windows. Sadly, and a bit problematically I haven’t a clue about scripting Windows. I imagine it can be done in VB. Any help would be most gratefully received! The AppleScript is below. Thanks Jeremy -- paste the arguments into the last four columns of the current table -- then tab into the first column, probably creating a new row -- called from the periodic multipliers tab on run argv if (WordIsRunning()) then tell application "Microsoft Word" activate if (get selection information selection information type with in table) is "true" then set tTable to selection's table 1 set rowNum to row index of (selection's row 1) set colNum to (count tTable's columns) - 4 repeat with i from 1 to 4 set tCell to text object of (get cell from table tTable row rowNum column (colNum + i)) set tPara to tCell's paragraph 1 set tPara's text object's content to (item i of argv) end repeat set curCol to column index of (selection's column 1) repeat (colNum - curCol + 5) times tell application "System Events" keystroke "\t" end tell end repeat end if end tell end if end run on WordIsRunning() tell application "System Events" return (bundle identifier of processes) contains "com.microsoft.Word" end tell end WordIsRunning ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

well, from my recent experience...
- the quotes inside the path might be a problem ("Program Files (x86)").
as I seem to believe the entire path needs to be quoted.
- From what Keisuke was saying (or at least what I understood), you
might need to pass the parameters to the exe in the LEP_IN variable

RE: windows script issue
At first look, the escaping seems invalid. Specifically, you escape the folder separator after the drive letter (E:\\) but you are not escaping the folder separator between the folders themselves (\CyberArk\ApplicationPasswordSdk\CLIPasswordSDK.exe). Honestly its best to just use the Folder Separator constant and let 4D handle the escaping for you. In addition to that, it seems odd that only part of the path is encapsulated in quotes... Have you tried escaping the spaces with a backslash instead? -Tim ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
