Filter command file arguments

[I.McGoldrick]

Hello all,

Can someone please explain how the arguments section is passed to the command file in super simple terms (with a how-to preferably).

I've been at this for days, read all the forum threads and googled but I'm getting nowhere.

My objective is to run the following Windows command line which sends a pushover message to my device:

Code: [Select]

curl -s --form-string "token=MYUSERTOKEN" --form-string "user=MYUSERID" --form-string "message=%7" https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json

where the '%7' is substituted for the filtered message.

I can successfully run this code from a batch file when I write some physical text in the space of '%7'.
However when i run it from PDW I can see no text is being substituted and it fails.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the reply, I'm pretty sure it is but I still haven't been able to work it out. Perhaps if i knew what was written inside the .php?

Also seems they have 2 different files, one in each section, i don't know if this is required for me?

Cheers.

Suggest you try PM with the author of the other thread. If you get it resolved, please share:-)

Thanks Steve,

Will do in both cases, thanks for the suggestion.

Certainly still keen for general information regarding syntax or anything that will provide a lead...

Regards.

SUCCESS!!!

Got it working by a weeks worth of trial and error, but hey, I'm happy!

Here's my solution for a pushover batch file.

Enable command file:

Code: [Select]

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c

Arguments:

Code: [Select]

curl -s --form-string "token=YOURTOKENHERE" --form-string "user=YOURUSERIDHERE" --form-string "message=%7" https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json

Thanks Steve and pcolvin for the help.

**EDIT**

I guess my solution bypassed the batch file all together in the end.

Its really a windows command line solution.
