Request for Exec_Command function added

Post by buzz » Wed Aug 03, 2005 5:15 pm

Currently, Macro Scheduler has execute_file and run_program commands. It would be nice to have a execute_command function where it accepts DOS commands and executes them. This command would eliminate the need to create a bunch of batch files then have Macro Scheduler call them using execute_file command.

Note: TCL and PERL scripting languages both have the exec command that can do this.

Thanks.

In Macro Scheduler all you need to do is:

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>cmd.exe /c

For Windows 95 substitute cmd.exe with command.com
