Help please.....on opening a .ini file

[eidolon74]

Ok, I am sure I am missing the obvious but this line works:

RunWait(@comspec & ' /c '& $variable2 &'\hl7.ini','',@SW_HIDE)

And this one doesn't. Any ideas?

Runwait(@COMSPEC & ' /c start "c:\report.ini"')

You trying to open the ini or read the ini?

Did you check the help file?

that's like saying "I have an apple, but it doesn't look like an orange", each of those lines tries to do something different.

run(@comspec & " /c start c:\file.ini","",@SW_HIDE)

works for me though.

good point, I "knew" that, having just looked at start /? yesterday, didnt' actually come to mind on this one though...

Foolproof idea:

Func _FoolProofStart($What)
   If @OSTYPE = "WIN32_NT" Then
      RunWait(@comspec & ' /c start "" "' & $what &'"',@WorkingDir,@SW_HIDE)
   Else
      RunWait(@comspec & ' /c start ' & FileGetShortName($what),@WorkingDir,@sw_hide)
   EndIf
EndFunc
