Calling Sub routine 1

[Councilk]

Hello, can anyone tell me why I get "Invalid property" when I try to create and call a sub-routine?

Thanks...

Post the code you're using.

Hello, this is the section where I build scripts in a Custom IDE. I pull and action like delete file and the tool adds the corresponding lines of code.

However, I need to tweak this code in order to perform an execute actoin twice.

===========================================================
Sub ExecutePowerUser(Pub, Act)
Act.ReturnValue = 0
exe = "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe"
args = ""
wait = TRUE

WriteLog("Executing "exe)

retVal = RunCommand(exe, args, wait)

WriteLog(error executing "&exe& "args")
writelog("retval: "&retval)
StopServices = False

Enf If

End sub

Sub ExecutePowerUser2(Pub, Act)

Act.ReturnValue = 0
exe = "C:\Windows\Some other.exe"
args = ""
wait = TRUE

WriteLog("Executing "exe)

retVal = RunCommand(exe, args, wait)

WriteLog(error executing "&exe& "args")
writelog("retval: "&retval)
StopServices = False

Enf If

End sub

===========================================================

Thanks!

You have several syntax error :
End If without corresponding If
Literal constant quoting and lack of concatenation operator

Hope This Helps, PH.

why the need to for 2 sub routines? they both look the same? (well aside from the slightly different exe call) just pass the exe you want to call and the parameters you want to call etc to your one sub routine

Thanks Mr Movie, the prior comments I understand, I just typed a quick code block to show how it was constructed.

I passed the new arguments in the second sub routine to the function.

I listed new args in the sub2 and called that routine from the sub1.

Both routines used the same function, passing their arguments and it worked just fine.

I'll get more programming classes when I enroll next month.

Up until now I've been teaching myself and following some books on coding.

Thanks all....
