Before I go crazy trying to format this properly, how can I format a shell call to program with "options?"
For instance I want to call fping.exe which is in the same folder as the standalone. However, the fping.exe command line should look like this: fping.exe 127.0.0.0 -l -n1 This is what is NOTworking: put fld "URL" into myURL set the hideConsoleWindows to true put "start c:\fping.exe "&myurl&"' -l -n 1'" into myShell replace "'" with quote in myShell get shell(myShell) answer it There is a need for quotes in order to make the switches work properly when calling it this way from LiveCode. It is something simple that I am missing but it is driving me nuts! Of course, I need to report back the results As always, ANY help is greatly appreciated!
