Help with Run Program

I want to run PanDoc on a markdown file using JMP's Run Program command.  I am on MacOS.  I have looked at the scripting guide and the Scripting Index, but I cannot seem to get the correct syntax.  

 

On my system PanDoc is installed at

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/pandoc/3.7.0.2/bin/pandoc

 

the command line to use pandoc would be this

 

pandoc <path>/markdown.md -f markdown -o <path>/markdown.html

 

I tried this and will not work.  Note that <path> is the path to the files, I did not include that here.  

 

Run Program(
   Executable("/opt/homebrew/Cellar/pandoc/3.7.0.2/bin/pandoc"),
   Options(
{
"<path>/markdown.md -f markdown -o <path>/markdown.html"
}
) )

Any idea on how I can get this to work?

Re: Help with Run Program

Nevermind, I figured it out.  You have to separate the options string in to pieces... this works

 

Run Program(
   Executable("/opt/homebrew/Cellar/pandoc/3.7.0.2/bin/pandoc"),
   Options({"<path>/markdown.md", "-f", "markdown", "-o",  "<path>/markdown.html"})
)

Mac does require the parameters split. Win works either way.
