You can include tokens for passing InterAction data as part of the program filename or command line parameters. This allows you to pass InterAction data to the application the service is launching. For instance, including the token %EADDR_ADDRESS% passes the selected email address.
Tokens work differently depending on whether you include them in the Program Filename or Command Line Parameters field in the New/Edit System Service dialog box:
If you include a token in the Program Filename field, the InterAction data is passed as part of the program filename, not as a command line parameter.
For example, assume a service with “Dialer.exe%PHONE_NUMBER%” in the Program Filename field. If the user selects the phone number “(555) 879-1234” and runs this service, it will attempt to launch a program called “Dialer.exe(555)879-1234.”
If you include the token in the Command Line Parameters field, the InterAction data is passed to the other application after the application is launched. This is the typical way of using command line parameters.
For example, assume a service with “Dialer.exe” in the Program Filename field and “d/%PHONE_NUMBER%” in the Command Line Parameters field. If the user selects the phone number “(555) 879-1234” and runs this service, it will launch the program “Dialer.exe” and pass it the parameter “d/(555) 879-1234”
When using tokens as command line parameters, be sure the application you are launching supports the parameters.
Supported Tokens
The following table lists the supported command line tokens you can use when setting up services. These tokens allow you to pass InterAction data to other applications when launching a service.
All InterAction tokens are enclosed in percent signs (%). When creating or editing a service, you can choose the Token button to insert one of these tokens from the list. This ensures the syntax is correct.
