Small Undocumented Change That May Catch Ya Out

FYI everyone

Two commands
Exec ("c:\windows\notepad.exe")
Browser("http://www.google.com")

no longer seem to require the speech marks eg.

Exec (c:\windows\notepad.exe)
Browser(http://www.google.com)

Took me a while to work out but all good.

Great for showing a household automation homepage or directory
eg. Browser(file://10.1.1.5/volume_2/Lawrence/default.htm)

Commands do not "need" them, but if there are multiple parameters - they should be used.

Code:


Browser("http://www.google.ca")


Is the correct way:)

Cool I can launch a desktop shortcut with the Exec command just use the correct file extension which is found by clicking on the icon-properties-general tab

$Tip

If you rem out a command when editing a script using # you can save the script without any errors so you can go back later and modify it without losing all your typing
