How to run a file with parameter

[elgaza]

Hi

I would like to know how to run an execute an external file with parameter

I saw the command Run ( "filename" [, "workingdir" [, flag[, standard_i/o_flag]]] )

but I am not too sure where I can push in some parameter.

Thank you very much ahead.

Quick example of using run to open notepad with the parameter of boot.ini (based on a pc that's running xp)

Run(@SystemDir & "\notepad.exe" & " " & @HomeDrive & "\boot.ini")

Basically you fit the parameter in the with the "Filename" parameter of the Run function.

Cheers

Try adding the path to the file your trying to run..

Adjust the file path to suit your needs.

Run ("D:\Current Updates\AutoPatcher.exe" & " /nolicense /nocrashhandler /answerfile:custom.aaf", "",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

Cheers
