Buttons

Runs a program with some given arguments. These must be specified within the button.

Additionally, windows systems may need to double escape their backslashes.
C:\\Program Files\\...

I am not sure on that, but I think it is right.

Hi I could get this button to open up windows explorer but is there a way to set arguments eg the /e switch will open upon explorer in tree view from the run box:

c:\windows\explorer.exe /e

Thanks,

WB

open Windows Explorer to C:\

javascript: Copy To Clipboard
/*Code*/
var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
var process = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/util;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);
var args = ["/e"];
file.initWithPath("C:\\WINDOWS\\explorer.exe");
process.init(file);
process.run(false, args, args.length);

open Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

javascript: Copy To Clipboard
/*Code*/
var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
var process = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/util;1"].
  createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);
var args = ["/e,","C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox"];
file.initWithPath("C:\\WINDOWS\\explorer.exe");
process.init(file);
process.run(false, args, args.length);

I would like to execute an external script passing selected mails or usenet articles as text to my external script. Is that possible?
