Hi,

I tried pui.runCommand() worked for the notepad.exe to open. But trying to open a file from C drive. Below are the commands that I tried , but seems like not working. Can you please help with this issue?


pui.runPCCommand("notepad.exe \\\\C:\\Koduri\\tst.txt");
pui.runPCCommand("notepad.exe \\\\C://Koduri//tst.txt");


Thanks

Try this:

Code: Select all

pui.runPCCommand("notepad.exe C:\\Koduri\\tst.txt");

The backslash character is used to escape message values in JavaScript (and many other languages) so you have to put two backslashes when you want a single backslash in the string. In this case, you want to have the standard Windows path of C:\Koduri\tst.txt so you have to code it as C:\\Koduri\\tst.txt

Its not clear why you had extra backslashes at the start of the path or why you placed foreslashes in the path. But, if you do need to add foreslashes for some reason, then you shouldn't double-them, as they are not an escaping character.
