Shell with params

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi there,Is there a way to run a .NET program from LotusScript and pass paramaters to it?

For example, a user clicks on a button, it prompts them for the To and From Date. Once entered, it runs a .exe file and sends the To and From Dates as parameters to the .NET program. Is this possible.

Something like.

Shell(“TestProgram.exe” ToDate FromDate)?

Using LotusScript create a text file, with “TestProgram.exe ToDate FromDate” as the contents, and name it myfile.bat. Then call Shel(“myfile.bat”).

There is no direct way of passing parameters.

Hi Litty Joseph,

Thank you for your reply. Tried that (batch file), but it didn’t work for me. Got it figured out though and thought I would post it on here for other future “searchers” on this topic.

result = Shell("C:\ProgramToRun " & param1 & " " & param2, 1)

It works wonderfully!

Thanks
