An good idea -- should be doable. Would you need spaces in your parameters (such as for a module name with spaces)? If so, I would have to put a limit to the number of args, since I don't have any way to embed quotes in outgoing strings.

For example:

NWNXUtil_LaunchCommand(string commandname, string arg1= "", string arg2 = "", string arg3 = "", string arg4 = "", string arg5 = "");

If spaces were not needed in arguments, the signature would look like this:
NWNXUtil_LaunchCommand(string commandname, string arguments = "");

The reason for this is that this is not legal in nwscript that I know of:
NWNXUtil_LaunchCommand("Command1", "argument1 \"argument with spaces\" argument3");

Hmm... but what I could do is allow a separate character to use between arguments, such as comma:
NWNXUtil_LaunchCommand("Command1", "argument1,argument with spaces,argument3");

Perhaps that last would be the best way to do it. Could even make the separator character configurable in the INI file.

Many thanks.

It doesn't matter to me, in fact, i give it an integer parameter (the id of the nwnx service to start). But, you're right, the best way is to give a list of parameters split by a separator, cause this feature could be used for many other usefull things ^^

I've extracted the code and it's in it's own plug-in now. (and simplified it a bit)

@GF, with both a single command option and an argument based one.

BUT, I've hit a weird issue.
Every "\" character is being stripped from
char* parameters
Is this just my build? It's happening before it gets to my plug-in.

So a request like "cmd /K dir\w" ends up as "cmd /K dirw" and fails.
mind you "cmd /K dir" works fine.

This means that I have a plug-in that can execute any process in the plug-ins folder (where you don't enter a path - at least for windows)

nwnxProcExecute("cmd /K dir");

nwnxProcCommand("cmd /K ?");
nwnxProcArgument("c:\Program Files\*.*"); //Currently not working???
nwnxProcSpawn("NOWAIT");

'\' is used for escaping characters in C (e.g. \n meaning new line). You could write

c:\\program files\\Directory

in order to avoid that. But that's just a workaround. I guess there should be a function somewhere in the Win32 (or better: wxWidgets) API that takes care of that problem, maybe by converting every \ to \\.

Maybe try and see what happens if you just add:
PrintString("Test of \ and \\");

I'm suspecting that it may be occurring as far back as the nwn compiler level.

mhh ok, im very happy to considere my request ^^

now this problem with the "\" , I had'nt thought of it, I leave it to you to make as well as possible

I had just thought that the only place to put a way exemple: “c:\program files\softbackup\cobianbackup.exe” “param1”, “param2”… but not in the parameters.

or this "cmd copy", "folder\nameplayer.bic folderOnOtherServeurMod\"

The problem with "\" is that any work-around will have to be done in NWScript. Most likely you will need to enter "/" as the path separator, and a flag to indicate that it needs to be flipped (for windows).
Maybe the NWNX_? script functions pass a raw byte-stream - and this problem will go away.

[nosfe]

where be you relating to this request please ?

[Gryphyn]

Still stumped with the "\" weirdness...

I'm now 'Escaping' the (pipe) "|" character and converting it to a "\".

This gets returned to NWN2.
From then on it actually passes back the "\" character.

Should have something for the weekend.

Check it here...

Spawn Plugin v106.108.1.1
Requires NWNX4 v1.08

The Spawn Plugin gives your server access to many command options.

You can run a Program, execute a command or even look at your environment settings.

SpawnEnvironment(string sEnvVariable)
SpawnProgram(string sProgramName)
SpawnCommand(string sCommand)

but to do this there are some 'tricks' that you need to master...

SpawnEscape(string sString)
- changes the '|' character to a '\' character so you can enter PATH strings
- eg SpawnEscape("c:|temp") = "c:\temp"
SpawnQuote(string sString)
- provides double quotes around a string (with double-ups)
- eg SpawnQuote("string") = "string" (literally, with quote characters)

It will take some time to master, especially getting the quotes right, but once you have it...
