Run($pad)

[Jeanpierre92]

I am making a scipt with a GUI and now I got a little problem.

Normally you execute a .exe file like this:

Run("C:\Users\Billgates\Desktop\Agbot.Package\edxDetour\Hook.exe")

Now I have put: "C:\Users\Billgates\Desktop\Agbot.Package\edxDetour\Hook.exe" in a $var.

I tried to execute the file like this: Run($var) and Run("$var") but both ways doesn't work.

Now is my question very easy: How can I let this work?

thanks in advance,

Bill Gates

Run("C:\Users\Billgates\Desktop\Agbot.Package\edxDetour\Hook.exe")
; is the same as
$var = "C:\Users\Billgates\Desktop\Agbot.Package\edxDetour\Hook.exe"
Run($var)

Jeanpierre92,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Run($var) and Run("$var") but both ways doesn't work

The first one does!

$sApp = "Notepad.exe"
Run($sApp)

If that does not open Notepad then you have serious problems.

P.S. Et tu n'es pas Bill Gates. Il n'habite pas en Hauts-de-Seine!

Trans: And you are not Bill Gates. He does not live in Hauts-de-Seine (French departement 92)

Haha the billgates was a joke

My name is french but I live in The Netherlands(holland).

Oke now I know that works, but if you close the script the $var is empty again.

How can I save the $var? In a .txt file? Or somewere in the script himself?

Thanks in advance,

Bill Gates

Jeanpierre92,

Go and read about IniWrite and IniRead in the Help file.

Oke I have done that.

Now I have a problem again.

It sais this: IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "this is a new value")

but in the: "this is a new value" must come a $var.

and this doesnt work ofc: IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "$var")

How can I fix that?

And If I want to read the $var again:

$var = IniRead("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "NotFound")

is that the proper way to read it again?

Thanks in advance,

Bill Gates

Jeanpierre92,

Spot the difference:

IniWrite("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", $var)

Enclosing something in quotes makes it a literal string.

$var = IniRead("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "NotFound") is that the proper way to read it again?

Have you tried?

Yes!
