Re: Profound UI Run Command
Try this:
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.
Code: Select all
pui.runPCCommand("notepad.exe C:\\Koduri\\tst.txt");
