Doubts on Systemutil

[bfakruddin]

1. How to pass parameters to application while invoking application by using "Systemutil.run" method
systemutil.run (filename,[parameters],[path],[operation],[mode])

[Ankur]

I didnt understand. you want parameters to be passed to application or to systemutil.run ?

Hi ,

Consider these below examples - it may give you a better perception:

Example 1:

Code:

SystemUtil.Run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe","","C:\","open"

Here "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" --> entire file path (Mandetory Parameter)
       "C:\" --> Working Directry ( Optional parameter )
       "open" --> mode ( Optional parameter )

Example 2:

Code:

SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe","","C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\","open"

Example 3 :

Code:

SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe","","Y:\","open"
browser("..").Navigate("www.xyz.com")

[bfakruddin]

syntax: systemutil.Run file, [params], [dir], [op], [mode]

[params]: Optional. A String value.
If the specified file argument is an executable file, use the params argument to specify any parameters to be passed to the application.

I found this in QTP help, please explain this....! and tell how it works...?

Thank you sreekanth,

Every thing is fine... but you left one blank after providing a path of .exe file "".....

I am asking about that [params].. in help they said that you can pass parameters to your executable file from here... How can we pass that parameters...?
