◆_SUB Windows1, W360H440, PECMD function demonstration, EXEC $instructions, TXT,%IconFile%#19,20
Remarks :
※ The first character of sub-process name or window name can not be a “$”. And there must be a space between the command keyword _SUB and the sub-process name or window name.
※ If there are multiple _SUB commands, names used for defining the commands can not be repeated and approximated. These names can not be set as environment variables.
※ This command must come in pair with _END command. And both of them can not be used in the command line. For other information, please refer to the illustration of _END command and CALL command.
※ To set the window title, you can use the “ENVI @window name=window title”. Please make reference to the explanation of ENVI command.

[_END]
Format : _END
Function: End sub procedure or window definition.
Parameters:
■ No
Example:
◆ _END
Remarks :
※ When defining sub-process’s _SUB command and _END command, they must be a separate line. In other words, the FIND, IFEX, TEAM commands can not defined  sub-process within them. http://www.dabaicai.com/
※ The command between _SUB and _END ( i.e. sub-process ) can only be executed by the corresponding CALL command, while the main process will skip these commands.
※ _END command must match with _SUB command, and the sub-process can not define sub-process within it.
※ The sub-process placed at any position of the configuration file can be called by CALL command in the same configuration file. And it is suggested to put it at the beginning of the file.
※ This command and _SUB command can only be used in the configuration file, and can not be used in the command line.

[BROW]
Format : BROW <variable name>, [[* | &]initial path], [tip text], [extensions]
Function: Browse disk files and directory.
Parameters:
■ Variable Name: variable name used for saving the browse result
■ Initial Path: Default the selected files or directory for the browser window. When this parameter is omitted, it will locate to the system default path. Moreover, leading character “*” represents directory browse dialog, the leading character “& ” stands for save file dialog, and omitting the leading character means open file dialog.
■ Tip Text: It can be omitted. When it is omitted, the default text is the system default tip text.
■ Extension: Browse the specified file’s extension. If it is omitted, the file represents all files.
Example:
◆ BROW Boot_Ini, C: \ Windiws \ BOOT.INI, please select a file, INI
◆ BROW Tag, * C: \ Windiws, please select a directory
Remarks :
※ This command opens a file directory browsing dialog box, allowing users to browse the disk file directory. And the user can select certain file or directory.
※ Selection result will be saved in the specified process environment variable. Example 2 can be referenced through the environment variable %Tag%.
※ BROW command must be executed after the INIT command or on the desktop .

[CALC]
Format : CALC [#] <variable 0><=><variable 1><operator> <variable 2>
Function: Operate “variable 1” and “variable 2” as “operator “, and store the operation result in the “variable 0”.
Parameters:
■ Leading character “#” indicates that all variables are managed according to int data type. If the leading character is omitted, it indicates that all variables are managed according to double data type.
■ “Variable 1” and “variable 2″ can be specific values, or existing variables.
■ ” Operator” currently only supports four kinds of operations including  “+ “, ” – “, “* “, “/ “.
Example:
◆ Add operation: CALC #Sum = 128 + 32 or CALC Sum =%Datum1% +%Datum2%
◆ Multiplication: CALC #Result = 128 * 64 or CALC Result =%Datum1% * %Datum2%
Remarks:
※ “Variable 1” or “variable 2” can be directly set by ENVI command (referred to assignment), or be the result of assignment operated by CALC command.
※ When “variable 1” or “variable 2” has no assignment, it can be processed as value “0”. To complete complex four arithmetic operation, you can use a series of CACL commands.
※ When CACL command uses double type variables to process data, up to four decimal places can be reserved. Moreover, to compare the numerical size, IFEX command can be used.

[CALL]
Format : CALL <$DLL name>, [function], [[#]parameter 1], [[#]parameter 2], [[#]parameter 3], [[#]parameter 4] or CALL <process> or CALL <@ window>
Function : Calling DLL function or subprocess.
Parameters:
■Leading character “$” indicates calling DLL functions, specifying DLL path, function name and parameters. If the function name is omitted, “DllRegisterServer” will be called, and parameters are defaulted as UNICODE string. If the leading character of parameters is “#”, it indicates integer. And up to four function parameters are supported.
■ Leading character “@” indicates calling a window defined by the _SUB command. Don’t execute CALL @another window in the window defined by the _SUB command.
■If the leading character “$” is omitted, it indicates calling sub-process, and the parameters are the names of subprocesses.
Example:
◆ Call DLL function: CALL $ SHELL32.DLL, DllInstall, # 1, U

◆ Call subprocess: FIND MEM> 127, CALL EXPLORER_SHELL! CALL CMD_SHELL
Remarks :
※ Call DLL functions : Functions in DLL must be exported in the way of STDCALL. (If you do not understand what it means, you can take it as no problem.)
※ Call window procedure: When using CALL’s leading character “@ ” to call a window, the execution of the commands after CALL command will be suspended until the window is closed.
※Call subprocess: CALL command can only invoke sub-processes in the same configuration file, and its function of calling sub-process can not be used in the command line. As for other information, please refer to illustration of _SUB and _END commands.

[CHEK]
Format : CHEK < check box name >, < check box shape >, [ check box title ], [ check box event ], [ check box state ]; Function: Establish a check box control in a window defined by _SUB.

Remarks :
※ CHEK command must locate between _SUB command and _END command. CHEK command located at other places is invalid. Please refer to the descriptions of _SUB and CALL commands.
※ Environment variables: %check box name% is the check box title. To set the title, you can use “ENVI @check box name=check box title” .
※ Use “ENVI @check box name. Check=numerical value” to set the check box checked state. If the value is 0, the check box state is not checked state. While non-zero value represents checked state.
※ Use “ENVI @check box name. Enable=numerical value” to set the check box’s available state. 0 stands for disabled state, while non-zero value represents available state.

[DATE]
Format : DATE [ variable name ]; Function: Return to the current date and time of system
Parameters:
■ Variable name: save the variable names of system’s current date and time
Example:
◆ DATE SysDate
Remarks :
※ The result is saved as ” Year – Month – Day | Week | Hour: Minute: Second” in the specified variable. To remove the ” date” or “time” , please use string processing commands of PECMD (LPOS, RPOS, LSTR, MSTR, RSTR) to deal with.
※ If the ” variable names ” is omitted, the result is stored in the environment variable %CurDate%. Then the example results may be “2008-8-8 | 5 | 20:8:8”.

[DEVI]
Format : DEVI [$] <CAB path>
Function: Find (and install ) driver from a CAB file or the specified folder.
Parameters:
■Specified CAB file path. The leading character “$” means installing the driver after extracting driver file. Otherwise, do not install the driver.
Example:
◆ DEVI %SystemRoot% \ DRV.CAB
Remarks:
※ This command uses the custom driven search algorithm (rather than the system’s), which can quickly extract the drive programs that may be used. Therefore , a device can search for multiple drivers.
※ In the CAB , put each driver in a separate directory, and ensure that the INF file in CAB is always located at the beginning of the current directory. Meanwhile, the INF file in CAB must be processed. And it is recommended to use matching program XCAB to make.
※ INF files are extracted to the “%SystemRoot%\INF” directory, SYS files are extracted to %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory, and other files are extracted to %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory.
※ If other files need to be extracted to specified directories, you can use “#” in the file name to replace directory separators. For example, the file, “SYSTEM32#WBEM#MOF#XXX.MOF”, will be extracted to the directory of “% SystemRoot% \ SYSTEM32 \ WBEM \ MOF \ XXX.MOF”.
※Another function of the command: Search drivers in the local disks. e.g. “DEVI \ Windows, Display”. However, this command is not perfect, and it will prompt driver file dialog box. Therefore, this function temporarily provides no technical support.

■ Edit box contents: string. The text filled when initializing the edit box.
■ Edit box events: The command which is executed by pressing the Enter key in the edit box. And it must be a valid command supported by PECMD.
■ Edit box type: number. The default value is 0, representing normal edit box; value greater than 0 indicates password input box; value less than 0 means gray disabled edit box.
Example:
◆ EDIT Edit1, L32T244W240H24, C: \ Windows, ENVI @ Label1 =% Edit1%
Remarks :
※ EDIT command must be located between _SUB command and _END command. EDIT command placed at other locations is invalid. Please refer to illustrations of _SUB and CALL commands.
※ To set the text in the edit box, you can use “ENVI @edit box name = text content”. Please make reference to explanation of ENVI command.
※ Use “ENVI @edit box name. Enable = numerical value” to set the edit box’s available state. 0 represents unavailable state and non-zero value stands for available state.

[ENVI]
Format : ENVI [$ | @ | *] [ name ] [ [ = ] value ]
Function: Set or clear environment variables.
Parameters:
■ Specified the name and value of environment variable. If the leading character is omitted and a value is not specified, the environment variable is a variable whose specified name is deleted. .
■ Leading character ” $ ” means setting system-level environment variable. Without it, the command can only set the program’s internal used environment variable ( process level ).
■  Leading character ” @ ” indicates setting the name or title of window control.
■ Leading character ” * ” (omitting the name and value) represents writing CD-ROM drive letter as CDROM0, CDROM, CDROM1, CDROM2 in system environment variables.
Example:
◆ ENVI TEMP=%SystemDrive%\TEMP
Remarks :
※ If the program executed by “EXEC” is used, the program’s environment variables will be automatically inherited. In other words, if a “$ ” environment variable is set in the configuration file, it will be effective to the “EXEC” program behind.
※ Under the command prompt, you can use ENVI command without parameters to refresh environment variables.
※ When only parameter “$” exists, initialize the user folder. Under the command prompt,  environment variables can also be refreshed.

[EXEC]

■Leading character “&” indicates modifying process shutdown code (articulating “ExitWindowsEx” function). It is advised to execute “EXEC & EXPLORER.EXE” to modify SHELL shutdown function. In this way, when executing “Start -> Shut down the system”, it will run “PECMD.EXE SHUT” command to shut down the computer.
■Leading character “$” denotes executing by ShellExecute function to open non-executable files such as TXT, BMP, etc.
Example:
◆ EXEC =! CMD.EXE /C “DEL /Q /F% TEMP%”
Remarks :
※ SHELL is also loaded through this command.

[EXIT]
