What is a command line option ?

Post by Lumumba » Wed May 12, 2004 10:13 pm

If you ever asked yourself this:

1. What is a command line option?
2. How can I edit the command line?
3. How can I open a .ZIP file?
4. Can I add this software to the Scheduled Tasks so it runs automatically?

Here you can get some [more...]

You can use a commandline tool (program) from within a script using this Macro Scheduler command:

Run Program>

Hi Lumumba,

Your recommended http://www.rjlsoftware.com offers a great deal of very useful utility software http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/utility/.

1. Is it mostly free download?
2. Are there any command line options available? For example, instead of clicking the TrayCD icon, is it possible to send opening/closing tray commands inside a Macro Scheduler script?
3. I saw in numerous threads you embedded a URL in a word/phrase such as "Here you can get some [more...] ". How can you do it?

Thanks a lot in advance. Happy scripting.

Hi armsys.
You asked:
3. I saw in numerous threads you embedded a URL in a word/phrase such as "Here you can get some [more...] ". How can you do it?
The only difference is adding the URL address inside the first pair of URL brackets. For demo purposes that can be seen on the forum, I am using "()" vs. "[]"

This is the format for a URL with no different phrasing:
(url)http://www.mjtnet.com(/url) results in this:
http://www.mjtnet.com
==========================
This is the format for a phrase with a URL that is different:
(url=http://www.mjtnet.com)THIS(/url) results in:THIS
==========================
Final example with [bold] emphasis added:
(url=http://www.mjtnet.com)(b)THAT(/b)(/url) results in:THAT
==========================
If you pause mouse over the highlighted phrases, THIS and THAT, look at the bottom of the browser to see the URL link that they are pointing to.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
Bob
A humble man and PROUD of it!
