Tools
The dialog enables to specify
external tools which can be uses from within the Editor.
The items, as defined in this dialog, will appear in Tools
menu. Optionally they can appear in the tool bar as well.
Command line use
The parts that
contain spaces (long names) must be enclosed in quotation marks,
for example:
 |
"c:\Program
Files\My Program Group\MyApplication.exe"
%EDITOR_FILE% |
 |
Consider that
prefixed parameters usually must be enclosed together with the
prefix, for example:
|
"c:\Program
Files\My Program Group\MyApplication.exe"
"-fc:\Some data\My
Project\MyDataFile.dat" |
|
Keep in mind that
executable file is expected on the command line. To start other
file, such as *.bat,
call Cmd.exe, for example:
|
Cmd.exe "c:\My Batch
Files\DoSomething.bat" |
|
To close the
command line window (DOS-box) automatically, use /c switch with
Cmd.exe, for example:
|
Cmd.exe /c c:\SomeBatch.bat |
|
Macros
To pass parameters to the tool
application several macros can be used on the command line:
