Find And Run Robot / passing parameters to .exe and .bat
« on: August 15, 2008, 09:51 AM »
New convert here, from... well, some "other tool" 
. Really enjoying the flexibility that FARR is giving me!
Got a quick question. What is the best way to call a program (be it .exe or .bat or .whathaveyou) with some parameters that I type? For instance:
%SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe /v:%1
I've tried to make an alias that looks like this:
match on: ^rd (.*)
Run: Remote Desktop | %SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe /v:$$1
But that doesn't seem to do the trick. I seem to have a lot of other .exe programs that I run on a regular basis that take parameters. How can I do this? Been looking around in the forum and on the docs, but I must be blind.
Thanks a ton. Awesome tool! Hopefully will be giving some scripts back to the community soon.
