Dropping a file on an .exe

[BadMrBox]

I'm trying make some code to open a mp3 file by dropping it over an .exe but I cant figure out how to make my program understand from where the file I'm draging is coming from. Can someone help me with this one?

[KiZ]

COMMAND$ :)

[BadMrBox]

Is there any examples how to use command$?

Ask Rattrapmax6 :^_^:

[KiZ]

yeah its dead easy.

try this sample program

Code:

print command$
sleep 5000

compile it then drop a file onto it. viola.

[BadMrBox]

Oh, damn! Thanks KiZ. That was quite easy indeed :bounce: . I feel like fool sometimes :lol: Now it'll be easy to do what I want to do.

EDIT: files without spaces in the filename works perfect while thoose with spaces do not. This leaves me a bit confused.

If the filename has spaces, it will be surrounded in "double quotes".

[BadMrBox]

Thats a bit annoying but not very hard to get around. I might sound like a total retard now but, eh... why does it contain double quotes when spaces is involved?

[DrV]

Check what happens when you drop multiple files: COMMAND$ will contain something like "C:\Path With Spaces\a.txt" "C:\Path With Spaces\b.txt". Without the quotes, this would be ambiguous.

Ah. I see. :oops:
