Shell Command Window

Hi All,

Is there anyway using skill to run shell commands so the command window is minimalized or in background mode so that the command window doesn't appear to the user...?

 Thanks,

 JMWilk

     the copy feature is built-in to cmd.exe. If all you want is to copy a file do, use an axl API.

       axlOSFileCopy("file1.text" "file2.txt" nil)

     

    If using the axlRunBatchDBProgram as a replacement for shell. I would always add two optons since you are not using the API to read or write the Allegro database.

        axlRunBatchDBProgram("<name>"  "<cmd to run>" ?noUnload t ?silent t)
