hs.launch not working

[FrankieSatin]

OK, another day, another problem. Someone want to tell me what's wrong with this syntax?

hs.Launch("speaker.exe","","c:\program files\homeseer 2")

Cuz when I put it in the startup.txt script, it generates this error:

5/2/2006 2:57:34 PM  - Error - Running script, script run or compile error in file: startup.txt1044:Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub in line 7 More info: Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub

Frank:

You do seem to have your problems :-)

Try the following...


hs.Launch "speaker.exe","","c:\program files\homeseer 2" </pre>

I shall try that...though why it would change, I don't know. hs.launch is a function that returns a long. Functions with returns take parens. But I'll try it.

You only use parentheses when you are trying to pull a value:

x = hs.Launch("speaker.exe","","c:\program files\homeseer 2")

Gothcha. Thanks, it works now. Of course, I still have scripting problems, ongoing in another thread.
