ExecuteCommand Multiple Lines

[PlanningDev]

Is it possible to execute more than one line using ExecuteCommand?

For instance, if you wanted to insert a sleep command in front of something else?

You can use & and && to use multiple commands. Using && will mean that the first command has to be successful for the next one to work. E.g.

Code: Select all

sCommand = 'cmd /c type tm1s.cfg > temp1.txt && dir > temp2.txt';
ExecuteCommand ( sCommand, 0 );

Assuming tm1s.cfg is in your data directory then check for temp1.txt and temp2.txt in your data directory; otherwise neither of them should be there.

For instance, if you wanted to insert a sleep command in front of something else?

Are you aware that TM1 has a sleep command - it isn't documented. The usage is:

Code: Select all

nMilliseconds = 10000;
Sleep ( nMilliseconds );

Nope! Another undocumented nugget like break

Hey, lotsa... you should check out the difference between this, this and this... and this and this.
Then... if you can crack the undocumentedness then perhaps you'll be able to tell us how to do this and this in rules!

I guess our TM1 friends at IBM have a lot of this! It's something a lot of us are probably guilty of though
