RunWait () & PSInfo.exe

[ioliver]

Ok, here's my code...

$objComputers = FileOpen("c:\adcomputers.csv", 0); Opens the file c:\adcomputers.csv for Reading

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
;While 1
   ;$Computer = FileReadLine($objComputers)
    $Computer = "br7spare1"
;If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'psinfo -s \\' & $Computer & ' | find "Office" > c:\off_' & $Computer & '.txt')
    
;Wend

You need to have PSInfo.exe on your C: Drive for it to work.

When I run the command:

psinfo -s \\COMPUTERNAME | find "Office" > c:\off_COMPUTERNAME.txt

from a Command Line it works fine. But my above code does not seem to work.

Please let me know if you spot the error.

Thanks,

Ian

I notice that you have the ; in front of alot of the commands. The ; acts as a comment so anything after it isn't interperted by autoit as anything to execute. Remove the ; and give it a try. Here it is revised.

$objComputers = FileOpen("c:\adcomputers.csv", 0); Opens the file c:\adcomputers.csv for Reading

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    $Computer = FileReadLine($objComputers)
    $Computer = "br7spare1"
If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'psinfo -s \\' & $Computer & ' | find "Office" > c:\off_' & $Computer & '.txt')

Thanks Jeff,

I had those lines commented out for testing. Instead of reading from a file I just assigned a value to the variable $Computer, just to eliminate that as a possible problem.

Thanks again for your help,

Ian

Ian,

I have some headaches as well sometimes when trying to run a @Comspec command. I try to spend sometime working it out, but when I get bored with the issue, then I go for the _RunDos() function that someone posted awhile back and is now included as part of the install. I don't know why it works better, but it usually is more successfull. Also, don't forget the #include file.

#Include <process.au3>

$sCommand = "psinfo -s \\COMPUTERNAME | find "Office" > c:\off_COMPUTERNAME.txt"

_RunDOS( $sCommand )

uh, sorry, watch the " marks that I left in the code above. You might want to adjust that.
