Run (Macro Command)

 

Run Program name and parameters

The Run command will start the indicated program with the given parameters, just as if this string were entered with the Run command in the Windows Start menu.  For example, to start EXCEL enter:

     Run EXCEL

 

You can start EXCEL and open the file C:\temp\TEST.xlsx with the following macro command:

     Run  c:\temp\text.xlsx 

 

EES knows that the .xlsx filename extension is an EXCEL file.  Using the Run command, it is possible to start external programs that read data exported by EES and then have EES import the data output by the program.
