Create a Macro to run a Batch File

[#1]

How Can I execute a batch file inside a macro?

I'm creating a Run Method (Windows Script Host) to execute the batch file but it doesn't run...

Have anyone already create a macro to run a batch file successfully? Or have a better ideia to run the script of a batch file?

Thanks!

Hi,

Go to Tools -> Edit Module and then plug the below vbscript/macro:

Sub Run_BAT

Set obj = createobject("Wscript.Shell")

obj.Run chr(34) & "Full_Path_To_Your_bat_File" & chr(34), 0

Set obj = Nothing

End Sub

Then assign this to button or any other object.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Sinan Ozdemir!

But I want to have that code when opening the application (Reload), is that possible?

[sinanozdemir · Accepted solution]

Opening or Reload? Anyway, Go to Settings -> Document Properties -> Triggers:

You can just when you want to run the macro from Document Event Triggers

And then click on Add Action(s) -> Add -> External -> Run Macro:

Just type the macro name into Macro Name text box:'

This should do it.

Sorry for one more question...

In your code is possible to hide the execution window?

[sinanozdemir]

Do you mean the cmd window?

[sinanozdemir]

No problem. You are welcome.

No,

This window:

Thank you very much!

In your macro, add the below code:

ActiveDocument.ReloadEx 0,1

0 is for Error Mode and 1 is for Progress Mode

Hope this helps.
