RunNHide, Version 1.01
Start a console program or script in a hidden window
Usage: RUNNHIDE command [ arguments ]
Where: command is the console program or script to be run
arguments is/are the optional command line
argument(s) for command
Notes: "command" will be started in a separate process, so catching
errors or the command's errorlevel, or changing environment
variables is not possible; run "command" in a "wrapper" batch
file to add your own cusom error handling.
Redirection symbols and parentheses in the command line
arguments must be escaped with carets, e.g.
RUNNHIDE DIR ^> dir.log
Better still: use a "wrapper" batch file with the unescaped code.
If "command" is a file with a registered file association, it will be
started with the standard command interpreter:
CMD.EXE /C START /B /MIN "command" [ arguments ]
This will in turn start the file in its associated program; however,
there is no guarantee that the associated program will run hidden.
If "command" cannot be found in the PATH, not even after
appending extension found in PATHEXT, RunNHide.exe will
try and start it using the standard command interpreter,
like it does for registered file types.
RunNHide.exe will return errorlevel 1 in case of detected errors,
or 2 if the command file could not be found, or 0 otherwise.
