Syntax:

PERFORM

[ command ]

Arguments:

[ command ]

Variable or string defining a valid Robo-FTP script command to be executed immediately.

Options:

none

 

 

 

This script command takes a variable or string argument and executes it as if it were an inline script command. This command is useful to permit script commands to be passed in as a Shortcut Target argument when Robo-FTP is launched or obtained via the PROMPT script command.

 

Consider the following example of a script file that accepts commands that you type when prompted by Robo-FTP. You would type the STOP command to end script execution.

 

:loop

PROMPT var "Enter Command" "Robo-FTP Prompt Window"

PERFORM var

GOTO loop

 

Consider the following example where a command is passed an argument from the Shortcut Target command line to set the working folder.

 

"c:\Program Files\Robo-FTP X.X\robo-ftp.exe" &workingdir "c:\test"&

 

PERFORM &1
