Subject: Registry shell to determine acrobat command
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

I am trying to shell out either Acrobat.exe or AcroRd32.exe depending on
which the workstation has installed. I want to be able to use the /N /T
operators to open and silently print a new instance of acrobat for each
file.
To determine which version the workstation has I am trying to shell out the
following command to save the value of the acrobat registry information so
that I can find out if the user's PC has either acrobat.exe or AcroRd32.exe
on their system for chaining PDF merges. From command line I would run:
REG QUERY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command

>C:\OUTGOING\josh.txt

the different commands that I have tried so far are:
      JOB = 'REG QUERY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command
>C:\OUTGOING\josh.txt'

      PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):">":JOB:CHAR(13)
This runs but does not write the capture file
      PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):"P":JOB:CHAR(13)
This errors out
      PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):JOB:CHAR(13)
This crts EG QUERY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command

>C:\OUTGOING\josh.tx

Any suggestion for the inline operator would be great.

You should probably ask this on Accuterm's support lists. but...
Look at Accuterm's documentation for the Shell() function. Your code needs to look something like this:

        CRT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):'P':'Shell("':JOB:'",opt)':CHAR(13)

      JOB = ";REG QUERY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command

>C:\OUTGOING\josh.txt"

      PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):">;REG QUERY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command

>C:\OUTGOING\josh.txt":CHAR(13)

Never got an answer back from accuterm but I kept tinkering and using ";"
will allow you to run the command prompt line and save the results
