Being new to this forum and to the software (MindManager Pro 7 on XP), i apologise if I addressed a wrong group and would be happy, if you can direct me to correct one.

I'm looking for a way to start a batch file using a macro. The batch file creates a text file which I would like to add as a text note (string+T) to a new sub-topic of my map file. How can I do this?

Thank you in advance,

regards

 

after struggling for a while, I found the command ExecuteShellCommand.

But If I start my batch file, I get an error message that I don't have permissions to use this file (though I'm having full rights).

Here is a simple example:

Sub Main
    Utilities.ExecuteShellCommand("d:\txt.bat")
End Sub

and in the txt.bat, I have echo "Hello World" > t.txt
