running third party exe

[abakoboParticipant]

I’d like to convert some of my .BAT to monkey code but I could not find how to simply run an executable from my console app (with app args). I tried to find how ted2 is calling mx2cc but it a bit mazzy for me!

It can be done with the std:std.process.Process class

Look at this code (monkey2’s launcher):

Monkey

Function Main() Local qargs:=AppArgs().Slice( 1 ) For Local i:=0 Until qargs.Length qargs[i]="~q"+qargs[i]+"~q" Next Local args:=" ".Join( qargs ) #If __HOSTOS__="windows" libc.system( "bin\ted2_windows\ted2.exe "+args ) #Else If __HOSTOS__="macos" libc.system( "open ~q"+std.filesystem.AppDir()+"../../../bin/ted2_macos.app~q --args "+args ) #Else If __HOSTOS__="linux" libc.system( "bin/ted2_linux/ted2 "+args+" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &" ) #Else If __HOSTOS__="raspbian" libc.system( "bin/ted2_raspbian/ted2 "+args+" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &" ) #Endif End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

Function Main()   Local qargs:=AppArgs().Slice( 1 ) For Local i:=0 Until qargs.Length qargs[i]="~q"+qargs[i]+"~q" Next Local args:=" ".Join( qargs )   #If __HOSTOS__="windows"   libc.system( "bin\ted2_windows\ted2.exe "+args ) #Else If __HOSTOS__="macos"   libc.system( "open ~q"+std.filesystem.AppDir()+"../../../bin/ted2_macos.app~q --args "+args )   #Else If __HOSTOS__="linux"   libc.system( "bin/ted2_linux/ted2 "+args+" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &" )   #Else If __HOSTOS__="raspbian"   libc.system( "bin/ted2_raspbian/ted2 "+args+" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &" )   #Endif   End

I agree with @nerobot, it’s the best way right now.
