Hi,

I try to lauch program with javascript code, because i want; in a second time; to use tiddler values when i call the program).
My code is:

<script> 
 window.StartThis=function(CommandToRun) 
{ 
 if (window.ActiveXObject) { 
        var shellObject = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); 
        shellObject.run(CommandToRun); 
    } 
} 
</script>

<html>
<a href="javascript:StartThis('C:\MyPath\texmakerx.exe')">Start texmaker</a>
</html>

It's fail completely, notting append!

(please, be indulgent for my english and my javascript knowledge)

Thank,

I know, and use the LaunchApplication Plugin, may be i can use it for my project but...

Actually i use :
<<LaunchApplicationButton "TexmakerX" "Linux Emacs" "C:\ThePath\texmakerx.exe" "C:\MyPath\TW\test.tex">>

But i want to use the tiddler title in place of "C:\MyPath\TW\test.tex"
May be like this :
<<LaunchApplicationButton "TexmakerX" "Linux Emacs" "C:\Path\texmakerx.exe" tiddler.title>>

but i receive the message : "LaunchApplication cannot execute/launch file 'C:\Path\texmakerx.exe'

Thanks again

To use a reference to tiddler.title as a macro parameter, you need to
enclose it within doubled curly brackets, like this:
<<LaunchApplicationButton ... {{tiddler.title}}>>
This causes the the tiddler.title variable reference to be processed
as an "evaluated parameter", so that its *value* is automatically
retrieved and substituted as the value of the macro parameter.

enjoy,
