Working With Rails

Hi Abdul,
you can run an exe file in Ruby as follows (i.e.):

system("C:\\Program Files\\file.exe")

I hope that you find useful.
greets

Hi abdul,

You can even run an exe in your .rb like :

`C:\\Program Files\\file.exe`

Same you can run on your projects ruby console like :

\>> `C:\\Program Files\\file.exe`

• Note : – Just need to place filename-with-location into ` ` this quotes. ;)

Good luck..! :)

Cheersss!

WOW!!
Thanks both of u to reply me.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline

you can also do it as

exec(“my_app.exe”)

exec will throw an error if the exe will not be executed, whereas
system()will return true if exe runs properly and false otherwise
