How to call a external applications using OS script (mapkey)?

Hello Eike,

Thank you very much for your response.

I just simply copy pasted 

@SYSTEM start http://www.inneo.com;

in the OS script. But its not working. Am I missing something here

Regards,

Sreenivas

I use it to open my working directory and open external programs also.

here is one example:

 

@echo off
set cdn=%cd%
set cust=%cdn:~10,3%
set trcn=%cdn:~13,9%
if exist "\\your server\Customers\%cust%\_Final Docs\%trcn% docs" (
start "" "\\your server\Customers\%cust%\_Final Docs\%trcn% docs"
)
if exist "\\your server\CUI\ITAR\%cust%\_Final Docs\%trcn% docs" (
start "" "\\your server\CUI\ITAR\%cust%\_Final Docs\%trcn% docs"
)

Hi,

my suggestion ...

1.] create batch file, eg. myapp.bat and put following commands into it

@echo off
set cdn=%cd%
set cust=%cdn:~10,3%
set trcn=%cdn:~13,9%
if exist "\\your server\Customers\%cust%\_Final Docs\%trcn% docs" (
start "" "\\your server\Customers\%cust%\_Final Docs\%trcn% docs"
)
if exist "\\your server\CUI\ITAR\%cust%\_Final Docs\%trcn% docs" (
start "" "\\your server\CUI\ITAR\%cust%\_Final Docs\%trcn% docs"
)

2.] during mapkey creation put following info into OS Script tab area

start "window title" /D working_directory_path path_to_batch_file

Note: The above mentioned start command is just my guess, only.
