I am running latest update 12.28
I am running it from an external program, windows terminal.
Just now I tried using the old windows command prompt with a file selected in Opus. Am not getting that message of encodedCommand ZgBpAGwAZQ... anymore but {filepaths$}. See picture below.
I also tried your suggestion of just DopusRT. Still not seeing the path
@Lxp
Hey! the good news is your suggestion pretty much worked. it will only work in CMD shells such as the old command line prompt or a CMD prompt in Windows Terminal. It will not work in PowerShell, it bring up a ArgsMsgBox window but with the text:
-encodedCommand ZgBpAGwAZQBwAGEAdABoACQA -inputFormat xml -outputFormat text
I will do some more experimenting in hopes of finding out why this is
Thanks so much for bearing with me through this!

This started is a simple need to see what these variables mentioned here contain Codes for passing filenames, as I am looking for a way to pass active paths or selected files paths from directory opus windows, tabs, source, destination etc to other programs (especially PowerShell and Command line tools) without writting .xml files to disk by using the DopusRT /Info command.
A similar way to how the internal commands in decretory opus can directly access paths via variables such as {filepath$} or {filepathdest$}
I was hoping you might have a suggestion for an alternate means. How can I then go about getting external applications to accesss the data of these perticular variables in Directory Opus.
I really need interoperability between Directory Opus and a number of other tools and accessing these variables to me seems to be a key starting point.
Do you think I shold just take to scripting in Opus and create my own variables that are essentially the same as these Opus variables? but then wont I run into the same wall?
My apologies if these questions seem redundant. Vey new to all of this.
Just call these tools from a normal button, Opus will hand over all the codes. If the tools need to run in a dos command shell, set the function to MS-DOS.
