FGR Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Hi! I'm trying to do this under Windows XP: RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c'& "%PROGRAMFILES%\WinRAR\rar.exe" a file_comp.rar *.au3') ; (I also tried Run()). but it doesn't work, althought the command works fine in the line command. The idea is to pass more parameters like the namefile as %USERNAME% and the Folder to compress, but with the first trying i can't advance. Any idea? Thanks for all. FGR.
Juvigy Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c'& '"%PROGRAMFILES%\WinRAR\rar.exe" a file_comp.rar *.au3')
FGR Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c'& '"%PROGRAMFILES%\WinRAR\rar.exe" a file_comp.rar *.au3')Thanks, and sorry with the simple quote (a writing error). It doesn't works either, a command windows appears and dissappears but the Rar file is not created.
hannes08 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 You can use Run( @ComSpec & "/k" ) for testing purposes. This will keep the window open. Regards,Hannes[spoiler]If you can't convince them, confuse them![/spoiler]
BrewManNH Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Try changing the /c to a /k and have it leave the window open, there might be something in the console that will help you trouble shoot what's going wrong. Also, add a space after the /c or the /k and before the " that might help as well. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

FGR Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 You can use Run( @ComSpec & "/k" ) for testing purposes. This will keep the window open.Thanks for the help and that option.The problem was the double quote. Now it works:RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /k'& '""%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\rar.exe"" a file_comp.rar *.au3') Thank you again
FGR Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Another question:RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c'& '""%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\rar.exe"" a %USERNAME%.Rar *.au3',@SW_HIDE) is @SW_HIDE correct to hide the command windows? It doesn't compress in this case.Thanks for the help and that option.The problem was the double quote. Now it works:RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /k'& '""%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\rar.exe"" a file_comp.rar *.au3') Thank you again
MHz Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 @SW_HIDE will not work well in the working directory parameter of Run(). Try this RunWait('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\rar.exe" a %USERNAME%.Rar "*.au3"', "", @SW_HIDE)
BrewManNH Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 In this case, you're using the @SW_HIDE flag in the WorkingDir parameter which I'm sure is confusing things.

FGR Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Thank you to all. It's true. The Working Directory as optional is not working well. Now it works.Thanks again.The Post is closed .Thank you again. In this case, you're using the @SW_HIDE flag in the WorkingDir parameter which I'm sure is confusing things.
