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

Hi Scott and Greg I'm new here but the question is interesting What happens if you have not Rebol Pro, is it possible? firendly Philippe -----Message d'origine----- De : [rebol-bounce--rebol--com] [mailto:[rebol-bounce--rebol--com]]De la part de Gregg Irwin Envoyé : lundi 19 mai 2003 17:51 À : Scott Jaderholm Objet : [REBOL] Re: using associated program to execute files Hi Scott, SJ> I have a folder with like 20 files in it.

Hi Philippe, PA> What happens if you have not Rebol Pro, is it possible? 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. -- Gregg

Hmm. Have you looked at rebcron.r in the library? -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/

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 " Luis

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. See http://www.sonic.net/~amicom/lechno-techno/ -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/
