How do i run a Batch file from testComplete

Question

Hi,&nbsp; I am using TestComplete 11.31 and have found it very useful. Currently i need to send a Commandline/Batch command for a C# executable.&nbsp;Please let us know the&nbsp;Insert New operation corresponding to adding a commandline/batch job execution using the process action ("cmd").&nbsp;regards,Vikram U

One way is to add&nbsp;your batch file as a TestedApps object and run it:&nbsp;TestedApps.yourBatch.Run()&nbsp;

You could also just fire up a shell and call the Exec method.
&nbsp;
Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Exec("cmd /c ""C:\MyDir\MyBat.bat""")

Hi Support,Thank you for the quick response.&nbsp;&nbsp;I just needed a clarification on this question regards the arguments to be passed for the executable.&nbsp;I have a exe which i call with 2 Arguments( ex: &nbsp;ABC.exe Param1 &nbsp;Param2). In the TestedApps i note that the ABC.exe is listed with commandline parameters as "Param1 Param2".&nbsp;Is there a way to change/parameterise the second argument alone(Param2)?.&nbsp;Thanks and with regards,Virkram U

You should be able to access the parameters using the TestedApps object. &nbsp;See the reference at https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/75248/&nbsp;for the example.
&nbsp;
Essentially, you would access the SimpleParams object of your tested app, change the parameter to only include param 2, activate, and then run your app.

Through the TestedAppParams Object you can eventually get to the arguments passed to the executable.
