End .exe file

Hi,

I've a script that when run launches notepad.exe, and I've compiled it into notepadrunner.exe. The problem I've got is that when I close notepad down the notepadrunner.exe still remains running in taskmanager. Is there a command to close the .exe when I close notepad?

Thanks

From example scripts:

;waits until no instance of notepad.exe exists
ProcessWaitClose("notepad.exe")

; This will wait until this particular instance of notepad has exited
$PID = Run("notepad.exe")
ProcessWaitClose($PID)

Thanks for the prompt reply.

It isn't notepad.exe that I've got a problem with, it's the notepadrunner.exe that continues to run after closing notepad.

The best idea when asking a question like this is to supply the source code for the script you are talking about.

Most problems are generally 'bugs' in the code and maybe solved very quickly.

So reply with the source "IN a code block".....

Good Luck

Then recompile your Notepad executor so that it 'Exits' after Notepad was successfully opened.

Show some source!

Guess this script contains all you need:

RunWait("Notepad.exe")

or is this too simple?
