Is there a way to execute a command line function in Max? It seems a basic thing to do and yet, I have not found how to do it... I know there was a shell object but it ran only on OSX I believe... I am looking for a solution in Windows...

I think I tested not too long ago and it may have been Java 6 JRE that was needed..

Another flexible, lightweight option would be to use a scripting language like Python, Node.js, etc. with a dozen line script to listen for inbound OSC requests from Max and run your shell command (quick 

). You could also use Windows PowerShell if you don't want to install one of the free scripting languages.

That's perfect! I thought the Shell object did not work anymore, but this version works great, problem solved! Thank you!
