Chris2137378 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I need some help getting my script to run a help file (.hlp not .chm). After researching the forum and AutoIt's help file for the last two hours I'm ready to pull my hair out for what seems to me should be a simple solution. I'm guessing it revolves around '@ComSpec' somehow but I'm having trouble getting it there. Please someone show me how profoundly simple this is!

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Westi Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) No general AutoIt problem: Run ( @windowsdir & "\winhlp32.exe yourhelpfile.hlp") Edited June 7, 2005 by Westi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2137378 Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks for all the suggestions! This seemed the simplest way: Run ( @windowsdir & "\winhlp32.exe yourhelpfile.hlp") Now to re-glue all my pulled out hair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
