Get Data From Another Program

[kviar]

Hi

 

I need to get data from a vbscript application running outside voiceguide. Actually, it HAS to run outside voiceguide, so the usual ways are not useful.

 

So far what we do is to have the vbscript write down the value in a regular txt file and read that value from within voiceguide, but we fear that's a process way too slow.

 

We believe there must be a DDE/COM/Whatever interface method to pull variables from other softwares. Anyone?

You should see what DDE/COM/Whatever interface methods does this other software support...

You can then call this interface from VG's VBScript and DDE modules (and maybe Run Program modules).

the other software is just a simples script in vbscript

You should probably speak to a programmer who can look at your system and advise how the other program could be setup to allow it to communicate with VoiceGuide.

 

Alternatively if you could post your current VG scripts and the other program/script, and explain what is required we can have a quick look at it here and suggest a possible approach.
