can I pass parameters

Open Fyber77 opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Is it possible to pass parameters to a batch file ?

Something like file:///'C:/TEMP/script 1.bat a'

When I add the a i got file not found error

Thanks !

Thanks for your request.

No that's not supported at the moment.

I think it's possible to add. But it will be an opt-out feature as it could be a security risk - it will be already disabled by default because of the executable option and we wouldn't need a separate option for the feature.

Why do you need it? What are you planning to do? Just wondering what's the use case.

We would like to build up a command line with multiple parameters using an Oracle ApEx interface. This command would run another program to generate ETL jobs using those paramerers. We are using ApEx because it's easy to put all parameters together as they are stored in a database.

We would like to open directories with a file manager other than the Windows explorer. For example, opening a directory with the Double Commander file manager might be.

file://<path to executable>doublecmd.exe -p'y:\project_1'

An alternative may be to allow nominating a file manager in the ff addon settings. Passing parameters to the executable would open more possibilities.
