Using listener to execute Command line program

[ElvisLorin]

Hi,

I have been having a play wit studio, with a viw to linking it in with my Home Automation system and Girder better.

I think the listeners are ideal for me. I am trying to execute a small commandline program, but it is not working. Could someone just steer me in the right direction please.

I have been trying to use Execute Process. I have the following as it's parameters

p = ExecuteProcess("cmd", "C:\\Program Files\\Promixis\\Girder\\event.exe" + " hello", null, true)

Which does not work.

I have also tried

p = ExecuteProcess("cmd", "C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder\event.exe hello", null, true)

and

p = ExecuteProcess("C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder\event.exe", " hello", null, true)

So the question is... What am I doing wrong.

I have had a look in the tracer, and it is seeing the listener event.

I have set it up so I have the listener ---> Action.

Thanks in advance.

From the ExecuteProcess documentation:

Arguments - the arguments to pass to the command that is executed, if it's a java.util.Collection or array then each element is an argument, otherwise it is considered a single argument; use null for no arguments

So you should not be concatenating arguments together into a single string. Pass them as separate array elements instead (using CreateArray, for instance).

Also, you don't need to call cmd to execute an .exe file. You can call event.exe directly. You'd need cmd only for executing batch files or other shell functions.
