By reading the help file about run...

[swan_x]

my problem is second program. not run. i have:

Your problem is run^^

[swan_x]

i don't understand. please write a simple example.

[highend]

I just don't get it. What exactly doesn't work here?

Code: Select all

    $start = now("msecs");
    run '"<path with spaces>\app1.exe"';
    wait 5000;
    run '"<path with spaces>\app2.exe"';
    e "Time: " . now("msecs") - $start . " msecs";

It clearly shows that it waits 5000+ ms...

At first I thought this is a typo
Then I found e is an alias for command echo. Didn't know that!

And it seems it's the very only XY-command having an alias? Is that correct?

[highend]

No, e.g. gpc -> getpathcomponent

[PeterH]

Ah - when you say it I remember gpc()

These are different formats of XY-documentation:
Echo-command defines e explicit as an alias. (That's what I've searched for.)
gpc() is shown as a second form for getpathcomponent - but without describing/naming that an 'alias'.

yes, work!
tanxs for your help. regards.
