Fire off script with keyboard-event

Hi Bernd,

First of all : best wishes for 2014 !
Then, I think I'm just a little bit foggy from new years eve, but I'm trying to fire off a script from a keyboard event. Can't find a 'execute script' a-like control command. And, important, it's not a script which have to be executed in a playlist. I'll use that script to fire of certain commands, I'll find that a little bit clear than using a long line with several different commands in a control command line.

Kind regards,

André

Hi Bernd

I know I can execute multiple commands at once, just trying somethings out to see if I want to organize it in a certain way. Maybe I want to do more than just commands, I'm not sure yet. So, just looking into a way to use a script for that. But as it's a long way around as you already mentioned, I'll stick to the original way.

If it is just commands...why don't you fire them directly (note, that you can 'fire' multiple commands at once, by simply separating them in different lines - each line equals one command).
What is a script needed for?

A script basically defines what tracks to schedule for a playlist. That related command would be: PROGRAM_STARTSCRIPT
But that can not be used to fire a script.
Else try using: EXEC_COMMAND_FILE
