Event parameters?

[Cheatah]

When I use for example the Directory Watcher, I get events like these to show up in the log:
"DirectoryWatcher.Updated (u'C:\\Users\\jand\\Desktop\\paul.dll',)"

Is there a way in a macro to check what file was updated?

What I want to do is: when a .rar file is put into a certain directory, EventGhost should start an unrar program with the name of the file as a command line parameter so it unrars that specific file.

DirectoryWatcher.Updated (u'C:\\Users\\jand\\Desktop\\paul.dll',)

The bit in bold is what's known as event payload. You can access it from a python script/command by using the eg.event.payload variable. Note that you can also trigger events from inside python scripts with the eg.TriggerEvent(), which is often useful.

And yep, the unraring script should not be difficult to make, have fun coding.

Thanks for your fast reply! Got it working with a minimum of Python scripting...

Any chance you could share your code for this? I've no clue how to code in Python so it would be a great help.
