Hi Bob, do you mean ?:
put "pdatconv /I" && quote & "INV1.XDF" & quote into mycommandline get shell(mycommandline) make sure the pdatconv.exe and INV1.XDF file are in the path or supply the full path in between the quotes. Quotes are just for the cases where spaces or ampersand creep up in the path... Also make sure the directory global is pointing to an existing path... cheers Xavier > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Bob Hartley > Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2005 11:57 > To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > Subject: run command line app in windows > > Hi All > Fromthe command line an app can be run like this > > commandline---> pdatconv /I INV1.XDF > > what is the call from a revolution application to ge tit to > run something from the windows command line and return to a rev app? > > Cheers > bob > > > -- > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. > Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.11.10 - Release Date: > 13/05/2005 > > > _______________________________________________ > use-revolution mailing list > use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution > _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
