Mike,

This code I use in a Mathsoft PushButton to run an external DOS program
from within Mathcad.

Sub PushButn_Click()
Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WShell.run "DOS commands go here",0,True
End Sub

Please respond to Subject
"mathcad" [mathcad] Scripting question
ptscience.com

I would like to be able to write an input file, run it with a Dos-based
program and read the output file - preferably as one process from within
Mathcad if possible. I can do the file input and output, but I am not
familiar with object scripting to run an external program. Does anyone have
an example script to run a Dos-based program on the command line and
return? Any Mathcad version will do.

Product Reviews

"Our work ranges from complex medical imaging research to large-scale mapping and diagrams and we need a tool that is able to handle anything we investigate. With Mathcad, we are able to manipulate and analyse our data quickly while at the same time documenting our work, for sharing and publication. We also use it for pilot studies conducted in support of research grant applications. It is an end-to-end tool for research and development."
Dr. Kenneth Castleman, President of Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR), Houston, Texas

"Mathcad is an integral product for my work... With Mathcad, itís easy to disseminate design calculations because the documents look like real math. Thereís very little I canít do in Mathcad. The main benefits come from the format, which resemble a typed set of calculations. These programs are easier to develop by engineers and easier for others to follow and review since the logic is expressed in a familiar manner. The format is what places Mathcad head and shoulders above other programs of a similar function."
Andre Pavlov, Structural Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation
