Command line from ExtendScript

I would like to call a command line from a FrameMaker ExtendScript script. Is this possible? Any help or pointers will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rick,

AFAIK there's no direct way to call a process with parameters by ExtendScript.

If want to call a process without parameters, you can execute this file with method "execute" with is provided by "File" class .

If I have to call this process with parameters, I write write a batch file by script and execute this file.

For future reference, there's an example of creating and executing a batch file in ~\Adobe RoboHelp 9\RoboHTML\presets\scripts\ePub Generator.jsx.
