Executing bat-files

hi

i try to execute a *.exe bzw a *.bat file from a vvvv patch, any idea if that’s possible and how?

there is a node called ShellExecute
that should be your choice…

i tried to understand this shellexecute node but,sorry, i dont get it. i can’t load a file with the file-pin,there’s no executable file listed, and i also failed executing a file with the commandline.
this node is not listed in the help-file or the node-reverences,so could somebody give me a tip how to use it ?
thanks

ahem??

ShellExecute (Windows)
get that node, click once at it (so that it is highlighted), press F1.
there is a helpfile since beta8 and it does exactly what you want!!

i used beta7.4, now in 8 it works fine,
thank you
