Launch exe with parameter

[p4tr1ck]

I am attempting to make a GUI for a simple console application, which only requires one parameter.
How would I:
A) Launch the executable with a parameter
B) (if possible) put the output of said console application into a field, instead of a cmd window?

p4tr1ck,

Use the shell function. The parameter for the shell function is exactly what you would enter in the command line window. Which command do you want to use exactly?

The value returned by the command line is passed on by the shell() function.

Best regards,

Mark

Well, it is a file converter, so you drag the file onto the executable. However, a lot of people don't know how to do that, so I figured I would create a GUI. Would the shell() command achieve this?

Which command do you want to use exactly?

I'm not quite sure, I presume its the default windows parameter for passing a file to open to an application. However, I don't know what that is...
Let me make it clear that nothing is actually typed in the console, it simply displays the output of the conversion. It is used by dragging a file onto the executable.

I think Mark is asking, what shell command do you want to use?

Yes, I'm asking about the shell command. Perhaps you could use Rev's launch command. Have a look at the dictionary.

Best,
