Topic: Shell

[GDF]

Ok, I'm having a brain fart.

(command ".shell" "notepad C:\\Temp\\SheetIndex.txt") works fine.

Now how do I get this to work? (command ".shell" (strcat "notepad " file "\\SheetIndex.txt"))
where file "F:\\JOBS\\2005\\050207B\\ACAD"

I get the following error when using the code below:
#<FILE internal>.shell
OS Command: ; error: bad argument type: stringp #<FILE internal>

(cond
     ;;((= op "accept")(command ".shell" "notepad C:\\Temp\\SheetIndex.txt"))
    ((= op "accept")(PRINC FILE)(command ".shell" (strcat "notepad " file "\\SheetIndex.txt")))     
)

Just use

Code: [Select]

(startapp "notepad.exe" (strcat file "\\SheetIndex.txt"))

Thanks, this puppy made a bobo, Iused the wrong var. I should have used folder in lieu of file.
Both ways now work. I have properly cleaned up after myself.

file was set to : (setq file (open (strcat folder "\\SheetIndex.txt") "w"))
I should have used folder varable. That was why I was getting the internal error.
