Newbie Commander
Newbie Commander, NEWBIECMD.EXE, is a Windows executable program that
can execute Newbie Scripts by specifying it as a command line parameter.
After execution is completed, it will exit the program automatically. It
is important that NewbieScriptEnd() is indicated in the Newbie Script to
indicate end of script so that Newbie Commander can terminate itself.
For example,
NewbieCmd.exe "C:\Program Files\Newbie\Data\Admin\Web Aggregation\Headline
News.nbs"
It will launch a new instance of IE and execute the Newbie Script "Headline
News.nbs"
on it.
Purpose
This program executes Newbie Scripts without the need to run or install Newbie Web
Automation.
You can also call this program from within your external application to perform
any
web automation function.
For example, you want to extract data from a website unattended on a periodic
basis.
Use NewbieScriptEnd() to close Newbie Commander and SendKeyPress('CONTROL+W') to
automatically
close the IE window after the script finishes. Use Newbie Task Manager to
schedule execution.
Limitations
This program does not make use of the GetParam, SetParam and DelParam API
functions
or anything related to the Parameters Database. If Newbie Commander encounters
anyone
of these functions in the Script, it will display an error message and exit the
program.
