How to supply argument from Run command prompt? ( path to exe + argument)

Regards,

Like so::
"c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\winword.exe" "d:\My
Docs\Sample.doc"

This works for me:
notepad c:\myfile.txt
opens a file on my c drive called myfile.txt. Maybe if you told us what exe
and what argument along with any error message you receive, it would be
easier to help you.

Like so::
"c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\winword.exe" "d:\My
Docs\Sample.doc"

----------

This works, DOS windows shown, but program does not create any output file.
The full syntax is:

PROGNAME input_file[.html] output_file[.ASC], or
PROGNAME input_file[.html]

This works, DOS windows shown, but program does not create any output
file.
The full syntax is:

PROGNAME input_file[.html] output_file[.ASC], or
PROGNAME input_file[.html]

In your example it is the responsibility of ProgName.exe to generate
an output file. Run it from a Command Prompt to test it! To start
a Command Prompt, click Start / Run / cmd {OK}.

Again this is the responsibility of progname.exe. I suspect
that this is a 16-bit program compiled with TurboPascal.
Many years ago it was discovered that such programs will
not run on fast machines because of an overflow situation.
Check a TurboPascal user group if this is so or get in touch
with the supplier.
