How to run application in Background?

[Pegasus_Seiya]

Hi

I have a File object and the command

File: Run application "clean.bat" "hide"


My Bat file code to clean my folder is

@echo off
del *.txt
cls 
exit

But the DOS windows don't open in background...

Can I do it?

The "hide" checkbox is for hiding the parent application.

To hide the dos window from your app you'll have to use the kernel object, and I think there is some way to hide dos windows using a visual basic script.

I'd say the best way to do it is to just make your app do the cleaning itself without all the dos window hiding drama.
