#launch issues
|
I'm trying to use #launch to access an external application I wrote. I can use #LAUNCH to access this application easily, but I run into issues when I want to send arguments to my application.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to accomplish.
I want to send the text I'm getting as one argument to the program, I would accomplish this in a cmd window by surrounding it in double quotes. It then thinks of it as one string. In order to use the launch command, however, I need to put double quotes around my text. Now I have nested double quotes and I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to escape the double quotes in order to nest them.
I'm using zScript because I can't figure out how to use the #LAUNCH command in the other options. Here is what I have:
| Code: |
| #launch %concat( "C:\Program Files (x86)\myprogram\myprogram.exe /p ", %1, " /m ", %2, " /d 10" ) |
The %1 and %2 are both text that I'm getting from the trigger, the /p and /m are argument markers for my program and mark where the text is going to be.
Can anyone tell me how to use escape characters in zScript so that I can nest double quotes?!?! |

%concat("stuff you want to see before the double quote",~","stuff you want to see after the first double quote",~","and so on")

Or write it twice: "" to get one double quote inside a string. Like this
| Code: |
| %concat( "C:\Program Files (x86)\myprogram\myprogram.exe /p """, %1, """ /m """, %2, """ /d 10" ) |
