launching executables from web browser with NTScript

[Info Galway Library]

Hi,

I wish to thank all who responded to my previous request for help with
launching executables from a web page. As a result of your replies, I have
made considerable progress. I intend to use NTScript.

I would like to tweak the NTScript .prg file in one respect.
This is the script I am using. Clicking on a link calls this script which in
turn launches the specified executable.

sub main
shell "c:\windows\winipcfg.exe"
endsub


Is it possible to pass the executables filename and path to the script as a
parameter when the link is clicked on? The filename and path could be
specified as a querystring (what comes after the ? in an URL) on the
hyperlink but can I get this script to identify the querystring?

If yes, this would mean one .prg file could service all links.


Thanks in advance.

Regards
John Fitzgibbon
