to variants from Shell:

if you've more then one line then beas create a batch-file in the temp-Folder, copy your script in this file and call this.

if you've only one line, beas call the file and send the command

Shell One Line

Shell with File-Action

if you want print a document, use tools=shell

file.shell=file=action

Example: Print a PDF-File:

file.shell=myword.pdf=print

Shell as Batch

if you want to call a batch-file, you can use

[shell]

script

[/shell]

beas create a batch-File with this script and call this.

Example

setvar=myvar=Hello World

[shell]

echo off

echo <myvar>

pause

[/shell]

if you want to print a PDF file directly to a defined printer (if you've installed Acrobat Reader), example:

[shell]

"c:\program files (x86)\adobe\acrobat reader dc\reader\acroRd32.exe" /n /s /h /t "H:\file.pdf" "<printername>"

[/shell]

The Dos-Window is minimized

runs a program with parameters:

file.run=<program>

file.run=maximized=<program>

file.run=minimized=<program>

file.run=normal=<program>

only executable programs like EXE, COM or BAT are processed.

With the parameter maximized, minimized or normal you can specify the mode of the window.

you can also use the command "tools=shell=<file-name>" for opening documents, images...

Example: opening help (*.chm) incl. Topic

file.run=hh [path\filename.chm]::/[topic.htm]

setvar=mytopic=capitel1

file.run=hh projekt\customer\myhelp.chm::/<mytopic>.htm

file.rundll=<command>

execute rundll32.exe
