using associated program to execute files
[1/8] from: scott:crackaddict at: 19-May-2003 8:31
Hi,
I have a folder with like 20 files in it. I would like to execute one of
these files every hour. The problem is how do I open a file with it's
associated program (Windows) from rebol?
Thanks,
Scott

If you have View/Pro you can do it by using the ShellExecute API under
Windows.

Shell access, via the CALL function or using an external library, is
only available in View/Pro or Command at this time, though I know RT
is acutely aware that many people would like to see it in the free
versions as well.
CALL will launch a command session, which you may not want, under
Windows; the ShellExecute API will not.

Hmm. Have you looked at rebcron.r in the library?

I looked in the script libraries and on the internet but could only find
dead links. Could you send me a copy. It looks like it comes in
rebcron.zip so if there's documentation please forward it too.
Thanks.

Look at http://www.shlik.org/links.html section 17." Launch native
applications from REBOL "

I posted it here:
http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/rebcron.r
since it looks like it got deleted from the original
rebol.org library ( as distinct from the reboltech library
)
It's from 1999, and I've updated Bo's rights field. He
has a more sophisticated version of this script, but I
think it's commercial now.
