S3D Question

[Jeff-Groves]

Anyone know if we can pass a command line argument to S3D?
What I want to know is if We can call S3D and have it open a given file by the command line.

Here's what I want to do....
I scan the data folder and find files that match my search, that list is saved to a file.
Now I have over 300 files that match my search! It's a pain to open S3D and move to that file path and open each file.
Given I can read the saved scan and paths?
I want S3D to open each file as I click on it. Once done in S3D, it closes and moves to the next file. Deleting the previously clicked on link.
Now I can exit the program and not lose my place!

I've tried several ways Jeff, with command line stuff with a batch file, and it does not like it, though they say you can in the Help file under "Command Line Arguments". But if I try to pass a path to the file with its name, I get a Windows error message of "Windows cannot find 010 Editor.exe (command line)". I can start it from the command line fine, but not with a file path. You can start the program and -import a script etc., but not a regular file with a path. I wonder if adding a folder to the Options for 010, and having the "targets" there would then allow it to find the target file without a path? But that sort of defeats the "Search" that you've done... Maybe add a "Copy" to that folder to the script ? I'll keep noodling, because 010's command line interface is different from most other apps...

Wait... I bet you have to tell 010 it's a binary file if doing a dat...

Not trying to pass a command line to 010.
I can call a program like S3D from in 010.
I need to figure out if we can pass a command line to S3D not 010

[propbeanie]

Oh... I figured you were trying to open the files found in 010... must.re-program.brain.impossible...

S3D is not part of the Windows environment, so you'd need to include the path to it. Are you wanting to open a file in S3D then Jeff, with the argument, or just figure out what the valid "switches" are for S3D command line, if any?

[Jeff-Groves]

Well yes in a way but the script does that.
I run the script to read a file, it takes each line as the path to the file I want S3D to open.
Int Exec opens S3D but does S3D take the file path input?
I should just code it and try but I'm busy.

eh... an experiment has turned my S3Ditor install into Mr. Hyde... it took an argument, but was not nice about it, so I think I hit an internal, or else Windows did something, but now S3D won't "stop" (I can see it in Task Manager), and it won't run either, since it's already running. A re-boot and it stil won't run, though its executable is still there, and it keeps trying to re-install instead. A "repair" does not work, nor does an uninstall and re-install. It (or Windows) does not like the direct approach in a batch file the way I did it.
