Launch two External Commands on one button

[Spiderkeys]

I have searching everywhere for this, and im someone has asked it.

But what I basically like to do is launch two external commands with one button (one click)( without having to create yet another batch file.

Such as my Nirsoft Utilites, which I would like if it would launch a program with also it's included help (.chm) file at the same time.

Such as cports.exe (CurrPorts), and it's included help file.

I've tried editing the bar.ini file and appending "cmd3=C:\Utils\Nirsoft\NirSoft\cports.exe" to "cmd3=C:\Utils\Nirsoft\NirSoft\cports.exe & cports.chm", and even trying && also, it never works it always launches
just the first command.

Otherwise, I have to end up making a lot of batch files.

Just use a DOS-Batch or a PowerShell Script as your command.
Then the world is open for you and you could even start all the Nirsoft Utility at once with one command.



If you want to do that with TC internal possibilities, create two user commands, which you can both execute from one button.

usercmd.ini
[em_Usercmd1]
cmd=first.exe
[em_Usercmd2]
cmd=second.exe


TC Button
Command: em_Usercmd1, em_Usercmd2


Alternatively you could just launch the application only, and press the F1-key to launch the CHM help afterwards.

I'm using your example here and now I got the general idea.

[em_TestMultipleCommands]
cmd=cm_HelpIndex, cm_About, cm_CommandBrowser, em_RunNotepad,em_usercmd

[em_RunNotepad]
cmd=notepad

[em_usercmd]
cmd=cd %appdata%

Unfortunately my user created commands here run fine serparately but as soon as I join them with a comma, I get File not Found error, and nothing launches. I'll keep trying...

But anyway those Utils you cannot press F1 for help, I have to locate the folder and run the .chm files from them.

You should try to remove spaces before and after comma !
