Would that work?

Yep, thats the nature of variables. Also you can pass the variable to a function just as you did above. When calling that function, pass whatever variable you want (which will ultimately end up in the Run command).

Looking at code almost makes it easier to explain;

$var1 = "notepad.exe"
MsgBox(0, "", "After you click OK, notepad will run")
Function($var1)

$var2 = "cmd"
MsgBox(0, "", "After you click OK, cmd prompt will open")
Function($var2)


Func Function($Variable)
    
    Run($Variable)
    
EndFunc

EDIT Whoops forgot to welcome you to the forum!

RUN($Variable)

This may work, but not the other way around. "Filename" is a required item.

[Saroset]

$var = "notepad"

MyFunc($var)

Func MyFunc($var)

Run($var)

endfuncoÝ÷ Ù8Z·

That doesn't. I'm positive I'm entering "notepad" in the correct field.

Any idea why?

Error: Unable to execute external program.

Access is denied.

Nevermind! I messed up with a variable =P.

Or... Not. It's still giving me the same error.

I don't know why exactly that isn't working.... this works for me;

$NAMEREAD = "notepad"
MyFunc($NAMEREAD)

Func MyFunc($NAMEREAD)
    
    Run($NAMEREAD)
    
EndFunc

Try to use some debugging, throw in a msgbox (or consolewrite) before the run function to check the value of $nameread, even an extra space could throw it off. I don't know why it would be saying access denied... are you running vista by chance? Does it change anything to run the script as an admin, or to change the workingdir of the run command?

XP. I'm writing a section to do some debugging atm.

Edit: Checked the value while running, turns out it's either not reading correctly or not saving correctly. Probably a mistake somewhere.

Edit2: Yup, turned out I made a mistake. Thanks!
