run a program with system exec.vi

[julesjay]

hi

I've got a problem with system exec.

When I launch a simple program like :  c:\windows\notepad.exe it works very well.

But when I launch a program with parameters, it doesn't.

here is the command line:   c:\bmd.exe a.bmd a.txt ffffffff ffffffff  

When I put this command line in a cmd windows it works perfectly. It don't understand...


Any idea?

Doese this work dirrectly from the command prompt? I have used parameters with suscess in the past like launching IE with parameters.

Is it a DOS program you are trying to execute under Windows?

If so insert command.com /C before the command.

Hi Julesjay,

I found out that if the command string didn't include the path of the executable (start) the program would fail (at least with matlab executables) So make sure the path of the exe is included in the command string.
