New arguments other than %file%

[lanux128]

i noticed that LBC has only %file% variable as its argument. how including support for some others such as %date%, %clipboard%, etc.?

[mouser]

can you elaborate?

[lanux128]

i meant a way to pass these parameters as a part of command line. see screenshot example, i'm trying to launch WordWeb with the text in clipboard passed to the dictionary.

[mouser]

well it's easy enough for me to add %clipboard%.. at a certain point the solution is to launch a batch or script file if you want to pass more advanced stuff to execute a file.

[lanux128]

yes, i have been trying to use an AHK script to pass on the clipboard contents but i believe these features could be derived from those of Farr's so that they both can share the same placeholders.

That would be a very nice feature! Would make LBC even better, since I could have an autohiding bar with a lot of similar things (search definitions, spelling, etc.)

[lanux128]

i wrote a quick ahk script that launches WordWeb with the word in the clipboard already defined. not fully tested, do try it and let me know.

Code

#SingleInstance force
#NoTrayIcon

IfExist %A_WinDir%\System32\WWEB32.DLL
  Run, %A_WinDir%\System32\rundll32.exe WWEB32.DLL`,ShowRunDLL %Clipboard%
Return

One more vote for adding %clipboard% 

But not only for Arguments but for "Application/Command"-field too.

Also placeholders like %Para1% for the "Application/Command"-field would be handy
to be prompted by an inputbox
to execute the "Application/Command" with different parameters on the fly.
