Default Send Command Line message - 10-19-2006 , 10:10 AM






I have a program and this is the path to the program.

c:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\IVM.exe

Their manual says that it will accept the following command to add a
number to the dialing list.

IVM.exe -outbound 5551234567 -hide
will add phone number 5551234567 to the list of outbound numbers and
start dialling. The window will be hidden.

I have created a text file and saved it as a batch file having FM 8.5
call the batch file but with no luck. I'm sure it is the way I have
the batch file written.

What would be the proper text in the batch file to make this work?

Thanks
JC Lewis

Maybe
"Start IVM.exe -outbound 5551234567 -hide" ?
or maybe
"cmd / C IVM.exe -outbound 5551234567 -hide" ?

or maybe even
"start cmd / C IVM.exe -outbound 5551234567 -hide" ?

if you open a "Dos Box" i.e. Start /Run/ Cmd.exe and then type
"help cmd" you will get some help on the "cmd" command and
you will get a list of options,
and then
"help Start " you will get some help on the "start" command and
you will get another list of options.
