Using Batch files

[NewsArchive]

After the compilation I want to automatically run a batch file that copies
the compiled install file to my dropbox on another local pc. Batch file is
fine but how do I run that in SM8?
Thanks

I'd love to help but what the heck is SM8?

Try the Compiler Directive, #run with the Process after script
compilation option. Assuming you're using SB8!<g>

Just add a "#run..." compiler directive with "Process after script
compilation" enabled. Don't forget to use cmd /c to execute the batch file
and put double-quotes around long file names (see attached screenshot).

Thanks Guys. That worked well copying to dropbox on local machine but does
not like copying over the network. 'Cannot find Drive' message. The batch
file if executed by itself works fine. Any ideas?

Perhaps the typical mapped drive issue (that's by Windows design)? IMO, you
have mapped the drive in the elevated user context but the IDE/compiler runs
(by default) non-elevated. Similar to this:

Thanks Friedrich.
I've logged on as Admin, Started SB8 to run as admin. I mapped the drives as
admin, wrote the batch file with Notepad as admin. I'm thinking it is easier
to just run the batch files as it is a faster.

If I were you, I would map the drive in the current user context and you are
done. If you get 'Cannot find Drive' from a non-elevated running batch then
you mapped the drive in the wrong user context. That's by UAC design and a
permanent Windows change (Vista+).
