4.3 Use Variable for Program Argument

The recorded voice message is saved in an audio file. The file name is saved in the variable message_file. The value needs to be passed to BroadcastByPhone program in order to use the recorded message as the broadcast message.

Edit the Run Program Action

Select Message OK element, click the properties icon on the toolbar, then choose the Action tab. Select the Run Program action in the list box, then click the Edit button. Click the Add button to append the following two arguments: '-wavfile' and message_file.

Please note that double quotes are added to enclose variable message_file. This is because the file name might contain space.

The Complete Command Line

Arguments are concatenated and passed to the program. In this example, if the recorded audio file is saved as C:\Program Files\Voicent\Gateway\work\audio.wav, then the program will be invoked as:

C:\Program Files\Voicent\BroadcastByPhone\bin\vcast.exe
     "C:\Call List\mylist.voc"
      -startnow
      -cleanstatus
      -wavfile "C:\Program Files\Voicent\Gateway\work\audio.wav"
