Launching the native Windows Command Prompt
Submitted by on Wednesday, 7 December, 2005 - 05:30
Hi all,
I was wondering if there was any way to actually launch the Windows command prompt, and pass it parameters? I tried something like running cmd.exe from the System Shell of the Console plugin, but all that did was run the command prompt INSIDE the System Shell, not actually launch it (like some other editors, such as Crimson Editor, are capable of doing). Does anyone know how to do this properly (or just in general launch external applications from inside jEdit)?
