Executing .bat files using Run Program()

I am trying to execute a .bat file from JSL but it does not work as expected.

 

What am I missing? 

https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/15.1/#page/jmp/run-external-programs.shtml

 

rp = RunProgram( Executable( "cmd.exe" ),
	Options( {"C:\temp\myfile.bat"} ),
	ReadFunction("text") // returns all text	
	);

You're missing 1 parameter

rp = RunProgram( Executable( "cmd.exe" ),
	Options( {"/C", "C:\temp\myfile.bat"} ),
	ReadFunction("text") // returns all text	
);

Re: Executing .bat files using Run Program()

We can run commands in MS-DOS or in cmd.exe by using cmd /c. We will also add the command string we want to run. For example, if we want to run ping poftut.com we will issue the following command. The command will create a process that will run command and then terminate after the command execution is completed. Also using ” double quotes in order to surround command are very useful.

--> cmd /c "ping poftut.com"

I found a site that explained why the quotation marks are so hard.
