Question / Issue

I know I can use the EXE command to call a windows .exe program. I would like to call a sound .wav or mp3 file at the end of my program. So the computer will say something like "File is done" or some signal to the operator that is distinctive. Is there a way to call up sound file and play it?

Answer / Solution

Pass the desired file to the .exe command as though it were a .bat file (or .htm file), like the example in the help file:

exe "cmd.exe /c c:\AeroInfo.htm"
