bat file not triggering...

drywsef

@russ running the line in command prompt works, but clicking the “play button” in TriggerCMD does not.

@drywsef, can you post the line from your commands.json file as well as line before and after. I suspect the format maybe the issue.

drywsef

@tuicemen do you mean the lines from the text editor?
Here’s what I have from that section:
{
"trigger": "Dynamount",
"command": "”C:\Program Files\DynaMount\dynamount.exe”",
"offCommand": "",
"ground": "foreground",
"voice": "Dynamount",
"voiceReply": "Dynamount Starting",
"allowParams": "false"
}

tuicemen

@drywsef I see double quotes in your command and a space.
I believe it should be

"command":"C:\Program Files\DynaMount\dynamount.exe",

drywsef

@tuicemen thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, deleting the additional quotations and space did not work.

tuicemen

@drywsef Ok I'm unfamiliar with TRIGGERcmd in Windows I don't have a offCommand but thought that was only required if your allowParams was set to true.

If this is not the last line the the commands.json file it needs a Comma at the end of the line after the }

tuicemen

@drywsef it looks like you have other spaces in your call
I believe your line should look like this:

{"trigger":"Dynamount","command":"C:\Program Files\DynaMount\dynamount.exe","offCommand":"","ground":"foreground","voice":"Dynamount","voiceReply":"Dynamount Starting","allowParams":"false"}

drywsef

@tuicemen Thanks for writing up that line.
Unfortunately, it still does not work. Why would additional spaces be added if I am using the GUI editor? I have to say, this seems like a lot of troubleshooting for a very simple command. I wonder what the disconnect is.

tuicemen

@drywsef I have no experience with the GUI editor you may need to look at the whole commands.json file.
Is this the first command you've added?

@drywsef, I think I see the problem. Notice the quotes around your command are crooked:

I think those are called "curly" quotes. Anyway, just delete those and re-type them in the GUI editor and it should work. I suspect you copied that path from Word or some tool that supports curly quotes.

@Russ Thanks so much! That did the trick.
