Hello team,

I have written the code to launch the edit plus using the _execute() command. But it is not launching the Editplus exe.

_execute("C:\\Program Files\\EditPlus 3\\editplus.exe');

I want to run the any exe using SAHi is there any way?

Do you see any errors on the Sahi console?

Ashvin,

Put the command in a batch file and invoke the batch file from _execute.

Eg.

OpenEditPlus.bat
with content
"C:\\Program Files\\EditPlus 3\\editplus.exe"

(with the quotes)

_execute("D:\\Path\\OpenEditPlus.bat");

Or you can also do

java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("D:\\Path\\OpenEditPlus.bat");

Hi Narayan,

I have created the bat file and written the command "C:\\Program Files\\EditPlus 3\\editplus.exe" including the quotes and it works fine.

So to invoke any executable file Do I have to created batch file? Is there any command provided by the SAHI to execute the executable file directly?

Thanks for your answer.

Ashvin,

I need to explore why the executable does not work directly. Will get back to you on that. Hope using a batch file works for the time being.
