Export error code when using app.system to run a command on Windows

[hui5C21]

Hi~:

I use .jsx file to run a python script like this ( app.system("python3 \"C:/" + decodeURI(env.scriptFileDirectory).substring(3) + "\\robot.py\" \"" + msg) ). this msg param contains chinese, but export error code. I believe that's because windows cmd using CP936 code but my script using utf-8, what can i do with this problem??

I can work with Nodejs to deal with this, but not with jsx.

Thanks so much.

Maybe that will work if I wrote it as should:

txt = 'chcp 936\r"' + 'python3 "C:/' + decodeURI(env.scriptFileDirectory).substring(3) + '\\robot.py" "' + msg;
(sys = File('~/Desktop/sys.bat')).open('w'), sys.write(txt), sys.close(), sys.execute()

seems format is not all right

[Kukurykus]

When you edit .bat file on your desktop is the message wrote in right language?

Maybe avoid decodeURI.

I mean the quotation seems not right

[Kukurykus]

Regarding quotation marks I didn't focus on this too much so there might be some mistakes. It's on your side to use them properly. I only suggested if you need right language you must use in the .bat file in the first line encoding marker.

I used a complex way to solved this problem. I wrote the msg to a file with encoding utf-8, the pass the file path to python and read the file in python scripts.

Post your solution then - that might be helpful in the future for others 😉

function sendAlert( msg )
{
if ( env.scriptFileDirectory ) {
  writeMsg( msg )
  var cmd = "python \"C:/" + decodeURI(env.scriptFileDirectory).substring(3) + "\\DDRobot.py\" " +    msg.replace(/ /g,"_") + " \"" + getPath( expFolder ) + "/msg.txt\""
  app.system(cmd)
}
}

function getPath( folder )
{
return decodeURI(folder.path).replace( /\/c\//g,'C:/' ).replace( /\/d\//g,'D:/' ).replace( /\/e\//g,'E:/' )
.replace( /\/f\//g,'F:/' ).replace( /\/g\//g,'G:/' )
}

function writeMsg( msg )
{
  var f = new File( expFolder.path + "/msg.txt" )
  f.open("w")
  f.encoding = "UTF-8"
  f.writeln( msg )
  f.close()
}

sendAlert( 'alert' )

Now I kept your styles of quotation marks, just added first line:

txt = "chcp 936\rpython3 \"C:/" + decodeURI(env.scriptFileDirectory).substring(3) + "\\robot.py\" \"" + msg;
