Opening a text file with the run program() command, why does JSL pause?

lala — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 15:58:12 GMT

Hello!

I open a text file with the following command.
Until this text file is closed, JSL is in a waiting state and cannot perform operations later in JSL.

How does this change the code?

win 7 64BIT

jmp 14

Thanks!

Run Program( executable( "I:\00\Em64\EmEditor.exe" ), options( {"C:\1\ABC.txt"} ) );

Store the RunProgram object in a variable.

rp = Run Program( executable( "notepad.exe" ) );

If you don't keep the RunProgram object somewhere, JMP deletes the object. When the RunProgram object is deleted, it can't always force the remote program to terminate. It has to wait for the remote program to gracefully end.

Thank Craige!

Yes, I found other ways

Launch the text file with AHK

AHK

Run C:\1\ABC.txt

Just run the AHK through JSL and it will work.

run program(executable("I:\00\AHK\AutoHotkey.exe"),options({"D:\`AHK\TXT.ahk"}));
