I would like to be able to execute a .bat file from an engine script. Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so, give me an example of the code needed to make it work? I would appreciate it greatly! (I've searched the web and found a few examples, but haven't been able to make them work. Most of these examples say something like "I think this will work" or "you might try this". Nothing definitive.)

The code below will execute your batch file on Initialisation (i.e run it once and close it).

Code: Select all

function Initialise ()

    --EXECUTE ON INITALIZATION
    os.execute([["YOURDRIVE:\PATH\PATH\PATH\FILE.bat"]])

end

Kevin, thank you very much!
