RunProgram on the Mac

[davedev]

I'm new to PureBasic and trying to use RunProgram on the Mac. As a test case, I'm using the following code:

Code: Select all

RunProgram("TextEdit")
End

I have placed a copy of TextEdit in the same folder as my PureBasic created executable. When I run the executable or when I run from the PureBasic editor, I get nothing. The application doesn't launch, but I don't get any path errors either. I have been able to make similar code run successfully on Windows.

Thanks for any help.

Nevermind. Found the OS Specific forum section. Deduced the path needs to be "TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit "

You could try "open" as command, and "TextEdit" as argument, like you would do in a terminal, it should work.
