comspec hide command window

[Guest savvyscriptech]

Hi Guys,

I'm new on AUTOIT V3 scripting and I found it very easy and useful in my logon auto script. However, I found difficulty regarding @comspec command to be specific in hiding DOS window while script is running. I use the DOS shell command erase /s /f Filename.File Extension to delete all certain files in all sub directories. I emposed that command in Autoit script and it work okay. But, I want to hide the window so that user would not able to close the window. I used the flat @SW_HIDE but it turned out an error and autoit script will not run.

Any ideas or script recommendation on my recent problem is highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance and thanks AUTOIT team.

its easier when you show the run command and the error you get...

So let me try one 'Wild guess" ..

Run("your command", @SW_HIDE) right ??

Should be;

Run("your command","", @SW_HIDE) ??

Hi JDEB,

This is the line command:

Runwait(@comspec &" /C erase /f D:\Temp\*.pif", @SW_HIDE)

and it gives me an error that command is not available. Could you please help me find the right solution.

thanks....

try

Runwait(@comspec &" /C erase /f D:\Temp\*.pif","", @SW_HIDE)

or try

FileDelete("D:\Temp\*.pif")

Edit: looks like you guessed right JdeB
