ExeProcess send command line

[MusoBob]

I have a folder in the scripts folder "sendmidi" with sendmidi.exe in it.
I just need to send the command line with reaper.ExeProcess

    cmdline =  [["]] .. script_path .. [[sendmidi\sendmidi.exe dev "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" pc 17 channel 1 on 60 90 clock 80"]]
    
    reaper.ExecProcess(cmdline,-2)

this works in the cmd window
sendmidi.exe dev "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" pc 17 channel 1 on 60 90 clock 80

If this works I'll have to do one for Mac and Linux also.

This sends ok

reaper.ExecProcess("cmd /c c: & cd C:/Users/Band In A Box/AppData/Roaming/REAPER/Scripts/ReaTrak/sendmidi & start /min sendmidi.exe dev MIDI Mapper pc 17 channel 1 on 64 90 clock 80 ",-1)

but when I start cmd it's in another folder so I have to change to root "c:" as it won't "cd" from there then change directory "cd" to the script location.
I need to start the cmd minimized start /min but could not work that out I could only add it for sendmidi.exe so there is still a quick flash of the command window. EDIT: -2 switch gives me minimized

I want to be able to use the script_path

local info = debug.getinfo(1,'S');
script_path = info.source:match[[^@?(.*[\/])[^\/]-$]]

maybe there's a better way to send the command line, or natively in Lua ????

I think you have the quotes in the wrong places:

[["]] .. script_path .. [[sendmidi\sendmidi.exe" dev "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" pc 17 channel 1 on 60 90 clock 80]]

Heaven ! thanks again, I put a -2 switch on the end and it's minimized. I will try it on the Mac now.
