Thank you for the hints. I think I now know why you just have to specify the path to an external program.

Now I tried to write a function that one enter the respective external program. But I get an error message that I can't do anything with. I searched the internet but could not find anything that explained the error message. - Even the error message I can't fully understand. "Illegal string-number conversion" . . . where is there a string-number?

Due to this error message I was unfortunately not able to check whether this function would work at all.

Code: (Select All)

'Externes Programm aufrufen mit Funktion - 15. Dez. 2022

Option _Explicit

Declare Function externesProgramm(extern As String) As String

Print "D:\" + Chr$(34) + "Program Files" + Chr$(34) + "\Notepad++\notepad++.exe tmp.three"

Function externesProgramm (extern As String)

  Dim As String pfad

  pfad = extern
  externesProgramm = pfad
End Function

End

It is: externesProgramm = pfad

Code: (Select All)

END

FUNCTION externesProgramm$ (extern AS STRING)
    DIM AS STRING pfad
    pfad = extern
    externesProgramm = pfad
END FUNCTION
