How tun run a command line application from Hollywood app

[phoenixkonsole]

Hi,

i play around with RapaGUI and create a basic gui "mockup" = not functional.
I am total new to Hollywood.

How can I run (or parse) a command line argument.
I would like to create a gui for a cmd tool basically.

Thank you in advance.

Execute() and Run() are your friends.

Look for Execute and/or Run (Chapter DOS).

Edit: Andreas was quicker...

Thank you !

When i use Execute and call an external process, the GUI i've created will not response until the process closes.
Run() should be for such cases : )

New question:
I have made an RapaGUI which has filed where a user can enter informations

Now I like to send a cmd line to the shell which includes those informations.
Is there a demo example which represents such a case ?

Have you tried string concatenation with the .. operator?

i.e. something like:

Code: Select all

t$ = moai.Get("your_string_gadget", "text")
Run("Echo \"" .. t$ .. "\"")
