Have "Run an application" accept tokens.

[Antrys]

It's sure be nice to be able pass tokens as command-line arguments to external apps.
I'm trying to implement a "Captain's log" using sox to record my voice.

EDDI, sets the variable {TXT:System name}
It's be nice to record a file with the name "system-name_LOG.ogg"
then I could play it back when I enter the system next time.


EDIT by Pfeil: Token parsing already applies to that field, as shown.

It doesn't?  Hmmm... I'll take a look.

Without running a test, I can see that there is token parsing in the code... I also noticed your example didn't have a closing curly bracket :  }

Let me know if that fixes it!

[Antrys]

Which bracket are you referring to?  Maybe it's hard to see in low-rez.

I Have: 

Code: [Select]

-r 16k -c 1 {TXT:ship name}_LOG.ogg
Should there be another close curly?

[Antrys]

Sryy about the var changing, I've been trying to get this working....  I've been trying all kinds of stuff.

[Antrys]

You're right, it does work.
I wrote a batch file and it passed it to that ok.
I have something else going on here.

These new darn Win10 command prompts ain't helping.  They don't have an option to keep them open after execution anymore. (That I can find)

[Antrys]

Figured it out.

It's back to command line basics.
When in doubt, use quotes.

Code: [Select]

-r 16k -c 1 "{TXT:system name}_LOG.ogg"
Thanks for helping me chase the correct issue.

[Gary]

Awesome!  Thanks for letting me know.
