This is a continuation of a project from 4 years ago. At that time, I designed and implemented a program to take English like commands ("Blink Slowly") and execute them on an SSC-32. I have since split the program into two modules. One which translates the English commands into integer tok...

There should be a system environment variable called "username" (open a command prompt; type "set u<enter>" and check the values returned.) There is a way to access environment variables. Get the username from the environment variable and append it (along with date, time and anyt...

Oops, clicked the wrong button. That was a link to my old project that implemented an interpreter for scripting an animatronic figure. I've written about my program that interprets a set of text files into actions to drive animatronic figures (a-code), that are controlled by a serial servo controlle...

I am curious...

Do you mean to execute the following?
Shell("""c:\temp\toto\test.bat""")

Otherwise Windows may be looking for a folder named "toto test.bat" (Yes, you can have .'s in a folder name...)

Galaga for sure!

In WIndows Explorer, right-click on the program and select "Properties". These is a tab named "Compatibility" and there should be a checkbox for "Run As Administrator". Check it, apply and exit.

I had a picture. but can't see how to upload one in this forum.

I didn't have any commas in my links - when I typed the text in, I think the editor added them. (I am an IT manager for an Internet ASP, so I know I have the links syntax correct).
