coffeeturtle 6 Posted April 16, 2010 Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that _RunDOS flashes a command box when it runs? I always thought it was totally hidden? Thanks for any help on why this is happening, or clear my understanding up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coffeeturtle 6 Posted April 16, 2010 coffeeturtle,No "flash" for me - Vista HP SP2. M23Haha! Okay, I figured it out. My bad. I actually was using the "start" command with my commandlines. Unnecessary to lauch apps that way within Autoit. Just a force of habit when I'm at a command prompt.Silly me...! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is way better than the "foo.bar" example! Thank you! I was in a rush trying to finish my script before the weekend, I ended up just writing results to a temp file and then using FileOpen/FileRead. I may revisit this using your example above! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
