ok, ive been around a bit ans I still get confused with ' and " ...
can someone help me here... I am sending a command out using the PH.run command to send CID info to all computers on my network.
here is the basics of what I am tring to do...
Code:
| "C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server\WHSAlert.exe" "Incomming Call" "CID INFO HERE" info 100 |
|
|
ph.run(file name argument1 argument2 argument3 argument4)
file name: C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server\WHSAlert.exe
argument1: Incomming call
argument2: globalvariable {CID}
argument3: info
argument4: 100
each argument needs to be sent in quotes to be processed properly
thanks

If you haven't already you might try it like this. I don't use windows script so my example uses ph_run and this is just a guess.
Code:
| ph_run("'C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server\WHSAlert.exe '" + "'Incomming Call '" + "'" + "{CID}" + "' " + "'info '" + "'100'") |
|

But I'm like you, all the quotes start running together and make my eyes glaze over.

-1 means there was an error.
Try it by substituting a string for the GV.
Code:
| ph_run("'C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server\WHSAlert.exe '" + "'Incomming Call '" + "'test string '" + "'info '" + "'100'") |

edit: Thought I put this in the first time.
If it does work then we can figure out how to get the variable in.
