A Viewer for Windows, ESP32 Projects, Cast, NotifyOnDemand, Push2Run and SetVol

Simple example... I was trying your "play a song" script.... If you request another song while the first one is still playing, 2 browser instances will overrun each other...

Easiest way to solve this problem is closing chrome with a separate command [taskkill /F /IM chrome.exe] and request another song after that but it's way more natural to collapse the kill and the launch in one interaction only.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

Actually, you can already do this by putting multiple actions into a batch (.bat) file, vb script, or depending on what you want to do an autohotkey script - and have Push2Run open that file/script.

Hi,
even though there's the script method, I'd still love to have a multiple actions option directly in P2R, because things may get a little tricky, as in the case I'd like to transmit something to the script.
For example, I was trying to make my song-search request to open both the song on youtube (as in the duckduckgo card) and a google search with the song's lyrics. So I'll have to get the "$" parameter into the script. I still haven't looked for a way to do this, I bet it's not that hard, but still harder than just having multiple actions to add in the application. Ok, I'm a bit of a lazy user
Hope you're considering this.
Thanks

your right it is quite easy - and I can't image I could be more flexible inside Push2Run than you could be in a .bat or scirpt file.

In any case, using Push2Run you pass a parameter into a batch file through the parameters field

for example, in the Push2Run card's open field, you just type the name of the batch file:
c:\temp\test.bat

and the Push2Run parameters field you can type either
$
or
"$"

if you just use the dollar sign (without being surrounded by the quotes) the parms will be available in the .bat file as %1 %2 %3 etc for each word in the phrase which the $ represents. That is to say, if the phrase is 'red wagon' then %1 would be 'red' and %2 would be 'wagon'

if you use the dollar sign surrounded by double quotes the whole phrase will be available in the .bat file as %1. That is to say %1 would be 'red wagon'.

in that way, for example, the file c:\temp\test.bat could contain these three lines such as:

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" https://www.google.com/search?q=%1
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" https://www.bing.com/search?q=%1
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" https://ca.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=%1

doing all three searches at once.

I had some issues with the "&" in urls to put "feeling lucky" and other parameters inside. Escaping with "^&" didn't work, in the end I just put the url in quotes. This is the final script, opening the lyrics and the song on youtube.
As usual, thank you for your quick and accurate reply, Rob.
Have a good day!

ok thanks, good to know...
