Character Limit to Expression Editor?

[pinacoladaxb]

I made a small example app to show my problem. Click Here to download it. (31 KB)

I have this in my event editor:

• Upon pressing "F12"
  -File Object: Run application "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k "+command

"command" is a global string that stores a command for the Windows Command Processor (cmd.exe) to run. In this case, I have the global string set to:

C:\Progra~1\Unreal~1\binaries\UT3.exe server 
DM-Arsenal?Game=UTGame.UTDeathmatch?GameMode=0?minnetplayers=1?maxplayers=2?timelimit=0?goalscore=15?ServerName=a?AdminPassword=a 
-login=pinacoladaxbspy -password=32gb789 
-Port=7777 -QueryPort=6500 -log=MyServerLog.txt 
-unattended

This should work, but when I press F12, nothing happens at all. When I manually paste the "command" global string into an open command processor, it works fine.

I also tried changing global string "command" to something shorter, like "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe" and it worked just fine: the console window opened and then ran my selected application.

Why isn't this working? Could someone please help me? :cry:

I found a way to do it with the pipe object (thanks SEELE for the example).
