calling an executable with arguments

[Mike Brown]

Hi,

Is there anyway to call an executable on a local disk (W2K) with arguments
from javascript? Or from any other language for that matter?

We are trying to create a simple 'portal' page to a group of our c++
applications via a webbrowser. To open the applications however you must
pass them command line options.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!

Cheers!

Look up Windows Script Host.

Windows / IE only.

Write a COM object in C++ with ATL or in Visual Basic. Then do:

var MyObject = new ActiveXObject(" MyObject.ID.Ver sionorwhatislik eagain");

MyObject.Execut e("app.exe");

............Naa ahhhhhhhh!
