Thread: how do I run a batch file with a command variable?

btw: ive made absolutely sure the batch file works when running it via cmd and supplying it with the image path/file.

batch for referance

@echo off
set ftp_user=myuser
set ftp_pass=mypass
set ftp_server=mysite
set ftp_upload_path=mypath
echo user %ftp_user%> temp_info.dat
echo %ftp_pass%>> temp_info.dat
echo cd %ftp_upload_path%>>temp_info.dat
echo bin>> temp_info.dat
echo put %1>> temp_info.dat
echo quit>> temp_info.dat
ftp -n -s:temp_info.dat %ftp_server%
del temp_info.dat
exit

Where do you SET the variable?
You need to set it first to have it available.
"SETVAR;PICTURE;d:\images\test.jpg||C:\fennec\up.b at|$PICTURE$"
After you push this button, you should see the variable in a label with this code.
"=$PICTURE$"

I just used this info from skin commands.txt
"PICTURE" - Shows the full path to the current picture of the picture viewer

when I set up a label with cmd "PICTURE" it has no trouble showing the path to the selected picture. I just thought it should work with a button as well.

Picture is a label, you need to set a variable from that label and pass the variable.

*facepalm*

Thanks

Code:

"SETVARBYCODE;PICTURE;PICTURE||RUN;C:\fennec\up.bat|$PICTURE$"

should work.

Yeah, I just didn't know you had to do the set picture from picture thingie.

Works now, thanks to all
