How to send command to cmd? like "ping 8.8.8.8"

i have tryed this:

Run(@ComSpec & " /k" & "ping 8.8.8.8 -t>" & Random(1,999999) & ".xml")

but not all work propriety, somebody know another solution? thanks.

Try this:

Run(@ComSpec & " /k" & "ping 8.8.8.8 -t> c:\123.txt")

As you can see it works. You have forgotten to add c:\ (for example) in the file path.

What he said.

It's executing the command but not generating the file where you think it should be (it is generating wherever the default working dir is).

You can set it to your script dir or control the path by using the working dir parameter of run as well

Run(@ComSpec & " /k" & "ping 8.8.8.8 -t>" & Random(1,999999) & ".txt", @ScriptDir)

You can also pull the Random function out of the run command and assign it to a variable so you can know what file name is being generated.

$sFile = Random(1,999999) & ".txt"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /k" & "ping 8.8.8.8 -t>" & $sFile, @ScriptDir)

ShellExecute($sFile, "", @ScriptDir, "Edit")

Make sure there is a spaces between /K and PING !

Why does everyone like to concatenate literal strings this way in stead of simply using one string?

Run ( @ComSpec & " /k ping 8.8.8.8 >" & Random(1,999999) & ".xml", '', @SW_HIDE )

otherwise you have the AutoIt Ping function...

$var = Ping ( '8.8.8.8', 250 )
If $var Then; also possible:  If @error = 0 Then ...
    Msgbox ( 0,"Status","Online, roundtrip was:" & $var )
Else
    Msgbox ( 0,"Status","An error occured with number: " & @error )
EndIf

1/ I dont see why im hijacking this treah is about using autoit to lauch a command , ping was stated as an example.

Because I said so.

Your and related posts are removed from the thread and better stop arguing about it in this topic.

Hi, am about another function if i use Run ( @ComSpec ) that is not flexibility,

have the Autoit something more easy? what will give command to RUN?

bc, if you'll give command in RUN "ping 8.8.8.8" will do the function, and after will be automatic closed.

What do you mean? its flexible enough when you understand how things work.

/k will leave the CMD session open and /c will close it after you are done.

... or am I misinterpreting what you wrote?
