"Do" command in Windows OS

Post by churchken »

Hi,

I'm trying to execute a Windows XP "batch" file from within a Rev script.

It appears there is no equivalent "do" command for windows OS. Is there a workaround that would make it possible to execute "c:/mybatch.bat" from within Rev?

Hope I'm not overlooking the obvious.

Thanks for any pointers.
Ken
