Hi all
I have a question about acRunProgram.
I need to insert a global variable(as first command line parameter) before additional command line parameters.
Here is necessary behavior:
variable1 = acGetForegroundWindow
acRunProgram c:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\Prog.exe "variable1(it's value)" "additional command line parameters for Prog.exe"
Please give me suggestion about correct syntax.

This should work:local var1 = acGetForegroundWindow()
acRunProgram("c:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\Prog.exe",var1,0, 1)For the sake of describing syntax, two periods will concatenate; though it's not required above since you're passing parameters in via the parameter option for acRunProgram. For example:local textA = "Hi!"
local textB = "Rob"
acMessageBax(textA.." My name is "..textB) |

But how i can add additional command line parameters for Prog.exe (the following parameters after first parameter variable1) through the acRunProgram function?
I want to set execution of prog.exe(through the acRunProgram) with parameters. I'll try to explain better. Command line should work in that way:
Prog.exe variable1 parameter1 parameter2
Where:
variable1 - is value of local variable from S+
parameter1 and parameter1 - standard command line parameters supported by Prog.exe
Can you provide the right syntax for acRunProgram? |

Ok, first of all, acRunProgram simply calls the Windows API call to start a program. This means that the path to and name of the executable can only be the fully qualified name; no parameters.
For example, this will work since that is the full and correct path to the Notepad executable:
acRunProgram("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe","",0, 1)
This, however, will not work:
acRunProgram("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe C:\\MyTextFile.txt","",0, 1)
...because c:\windows\notepad.exe C:\MyTextFile.txt is not a valid path and executable name.
However, this would work:
acRunProgram("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe","C:\\MyTextFile.txt",0, 1)
...because it starts c:\windows\notepad.exe and passes the parameter C:\MyTextFile.txt; essentially, it is the same as c:\windows\notepad.exe C:\MyTextFile.txt
Does that make sense?
What you want is to put the parameters where var1 is located:
acRunProgram("c:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\Prog.exe",var1,0, 1)
For example:
local var1 = "Something"
acRunProgram("c:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\Prog.exe",var1.." parameter1 parameter2",0, 1)
This would result in the equivalent of:
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Prog.exe Something parameter1 parameter2 |

Thank you, Rob.
But i am getting error message "[string "ActionScript":36: attemp to concentrate global 'processhandle'(a function value)
Full script:
acActivateWindow(acGetOwnerWindowByPoint(acGetMouseLocationX(), acGetMouseLocationY()),0,0)
processhandle=acGetForegroundWindow
local exename = acGetExecutableName(acGetForegroundWindow(), 0, 0)
if exename ~= "explorer.exe" then
acRunProgram("C:\\Windows\\nircmd.exe","win flash foreground 1 1000",0,1)
acDelay(2000)
acMinimizeWindow(nil, acGetMouseLocationX(), acGetMouseLocationY())
acRunProgram("c:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\GetPID.exe",processhandle.." pssuspend.exe $$$$",0,1)
else
end
Note: GetPID.exe is indended to run external program with specified parameters + PID as an last parameter. |

| Have you tried putting () after acGetForegroundWindow? I'm on my phone, so I can't test at the moment |

| Also, precede it with "local" since there's no need for it to be global |

I use this variable in another gesture. |
