Run($...) and Send("#r") Difference & problem

[Jeanpierre92]

Hello I have a problem and I have tried to find the awnser many times but I failed

What is the difference between:

Run($SroToolRun)

And

Send("#r")
($SroToolRun)
Send("{ENTER}")

Because if I use the 1st method the script doesn't work, and if I use the 2nd method the script works.

Here is what happens manual and with the 2nd method if you want to install:

YES!

Here is what happens manual and with the 2nd method if you want to uninstall:

NO!

YES!

Here is what happens with the 1st method if you want to install:

YES!

Here is what happens with the 1st method if you want to uninstall:

NO!

YES!

And I want to use the 1st method ofcourse because it better(faster) and it looks more professional.

Can someone please help me because I am desperate of not find the awnser

You need to set the "working directory" in Run()

[Jeanpierre92]

You need to set the "working directory" in Run()

Sorry I dont understand that

you must put the filepath + the filename + extension in Run() right? like I did?

there isn't a smiley if you dont understand something

Can you please give a example in my case if it isn't to mush work?

Jeanpierre

EDIT:

Run ( "program" [, "workingdir" [, show_flag[, opt_flag ]]] )

Program = "$SroToolRun"

Workingdir = "$SroToolRun - Filename + extension"

But how Must I know the workingdir? I just want that the script execute the program

A:

- 1) is valid autoit code.

- 2) is invalid autoit code.

B:

- 1) will start a new process/program.

- 2) will send some key actions to the current active window of a already running/existing process.

Yes I understand that, but the strange is that If I select the Hook.exe and the script Run(Hook.exe) it works.

But if I quit the script and open it again all the file path's are exactly the same. And then it gives the error

I have put the debug part(I dont know what it is and what it does) And I execute it and the script just execute.

I saw that there must be some kind of file created but it didn't: @ScriptDir & '\DebugOut.log')

What does debug do? and can it resolve my problem?

Whoohoo finaly it works

This is what I did:

Func unhookButton()  ;Klaar en werkt
    $SroToolPath = @AppDataDir & "\SroTool.ini"
    $SroToolRun = IniRead($SroToolPath, "Filepaths", "Hook.exe", "NotFound")
    $SroToolRun = StringReplace($SroToolRun, "Hook.exe", "")
    Run($SroToolRun & "\Hook.exe", $SroToolRun)
    WinWaitActive("Confirm detour install")
    Send("{LEFT}")
    Sleep(10)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    WinWaitActive("Confirm detour uninstall")
    Send("{LEFT 2}")
    Sleep(10)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Sleep(10)
    Send("{ENTER}")
EndFunc

Thanks for all the support
