My original shell command which works fine is: get shell(""&appPath&" "&srcPath&" "&trgPath&"") where the app is a command line utility which converts a PDF file to multiple JPEG's I can't get the app to show up in 'the openProcess' using the 'neither' option. When I call 'open process appPath for update' it works fine, but then how would I send the open process a command to start the conversion?Ah, I assumed you didn't need to read from the process. If you don't need to read or know when it's done then: open process appPath&" "&srcPath&" "&trgPath for neither If you need to know when it's done then something like this should do it (untested hacking in email client) put appPath&" "&srcPath&" "&trgPath into tProcess open process tProcess for read send "ReadProcess tProcess" to me in 0 milliseconds on ReadProcess pProcess local tOut repeat read from process pProcess in 5 milliseconds put it after tOut wait 20 milliseconds with messages if the result is "eof" then close process pProcess exit repeat end if end repeat PDFExported tOut end ReadProcess on PDFExported pOutput -- let the user know end PDFExported -- M E R Goulding Software development services Bespoke application development for vertical markets mergExt - There's an external for that! _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
