AkelPad

[foliator]

I've used a couple of dictionary programs that recognize a text string as a command line parameter. They would be very useful in conjunction with AkelPad. Is there a way to use text selected in the editing window as a parameter to be passed to the .EXE file through the Exec() command? So far, the only parameters I have found are %f, %d and %a (file, directory and AkelPad directory respectively).

Here's an example of what I had in mind:

Exec('Lookup.exe "%s"')

where %s is the selected text.

You can do this by using the simple script:
Exec_Lookup.js

Code:

AkelPad.Exec("Lookup.exe " + AkelPad.GetSelText());

Command:
Call("Scripts::Main", 1, "Exec_Lookup.js")
