How to use Delphi to execute a .bat file properly

Question

I am running a .bat file from delphi(2010).

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
var sCmd: String;
 Begin
sCmd := Pwidechar(\'b4a_c2dm.bat\' +\' \         


        

Answer 1

In order to execute a batch file, the program to be called is 'cmd' and its parameter should be the name of the batch file.

Regarding your program,

ShellExecute (application.handle, 'open', 'cmd', PChar(sCmd), nil, SW_MAXIMIZE)
