Question about Input

[Jeaux 0]

Hello All, here's what I need some help with:

Case $button3

$input1 = inputbox ("CD/DVD Drive", "")

$input2 = inputbox ("File Path", "")

runwait (@comspec & " /c " & "echo $input1 $input2 > test.txt", "", @SW_HIDE)

I need to take user input and add it to the command line. The text file that is made has $input1 $input2. How do I get it to use the actual input?

This might be a very easy question, but I have researched for a long time on different ways to get this done. Any help would be welcomed.

Use GUICtrlRead($input1) respectively GUICtrlRead($input2) to read input line.

Edit: Ops, did not read carefully. GUICtrlRead() is only for GUICtrlCreateInput()!

in your current example you have to remove the quotes around the variables so they are not treated as literal strings:

$input1 = inputbox ("CD/DVD Drive", "")
$input2 = inputbox ("File Path", "")

runwait ("cmd /c " & "echo " & $input1 & $input2 & " > c:\testPIPING.txt", "", @SW_HIDE)

run ("notepad c:\testPIPING.txt")
