exit

When i do

Opt ("Wintitlematchmode",2)

$Commandline = guictrlread ($Edit)

WinActivate ("cmd.exe")

Send ($Commandline)

what it does is it will type whole script into CMD window and execute each line at the time, or everytime ENTER was pressed for creating new line.

Problem with this is that because script is executed as its being typed the:GOTO locations are not yet created, so they cant be accessed till whole script is typed in.

So my question is:

IS there a way to paste whole script into CMD via Autoit so that it will be executed same way as file.bat ?

[GEOSoft 64]

Look at the Run() function in the help file for examples of using Cmd (Hint: @ComSpec).

With a string that long why not just write it to a batch file then use ShellExecuteWait(@ScriptDir & "\mybatch.bat")?

Both of the functions I mentioned are under Process Management in the help file.

With a string that long why not just write it to a batch file

Yes I agree.

You can even use AutoIt to do the whole thing. Convert your .bat to a string and run all from within your script.

Well i cant do JoHanatCent's example because this CMD script is something user has to type in instead of me having static function created.

I ended up creating commnad.bat and run it.

Question now is, does autoit passes users permissions to executed .bat file ? or how does it work ?

Also do i need to worry about working directory when executing my .bat file ? caz if i dont, results are strange sometimes.

For example folders would be created in system32 folder instead of where .bat was generated (@scriptdir)

[GEOSoft 64]

set the working folder to @System Dir and make sure that you also use @SystemDir when you are creating the folders. Specifying System32 can lead to issues with 64 bit systems.
