EXEC Run an external program or command
Syntax:
EXEC(command)
- command: external program or command including any parameters.
Remarks:
Some external commands require parameters to be enclosed in double quotes. If you merely fill in the double quotes ScriptFTP will display a syntax error, for example:
# This will produce a syntax error:
EXEC("copy "C:\path with spaces\Report 2008.txt" C:\saved")In order to resolve this problem you will have to use ‘ instead of “. For example:
EXEC('copy "C:\path with spaces\Report 2008.txt" C:\saved\notes.sav')Return value:
This command will return the called program’s exit code.
Examples:
# Delete all doc files in the current local dir
EXEC("del *.doc")
# Call an external batch file
EXEC("mybatch.bat")
$result=EXEC("del *.mf")
IF($result!=0)
IF($result==1)
print("No *.mf files found. Errorcode: ".$result)
ELSE
print("Del failed. Errorcode: ".$result)
exit(1969)
END IF
ELSE
print("deleting files was successful")
END IF
