Need help with Run function

[lsakizada]

Hi,

I created an autoit console application that supposed to run a command line utility program named mdrv.exe

I am facing problem due to syntax of the command string probably because of spaces in the path.

The utiliti is:

$Mdrv = C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Virtual User Generator\bin\mdrv.exe

The command line arguments are:

$USR = "-usr C:\Users\Scripts\Some folder\test.usr"

$Results = "-out c:\Some Folder\Results Folder"

The syntax of the command line:

mdrv.exe -usr <Path to .usr file> -out <Path to results folder>

I tried something like this but its always fails due to spaces in the path. Please see the Run command bellow

$STR = " /c "  &  $Mdrv  & " -usr "  & $USR & " -out " & $Results
$STR = String($STR)
consolewrite($STR &  @CRLF)
 $foo =Run( @ComSpec & $STR, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
;Consolewrite ($foo & @CRLF)


    Local $line
    While 1
        $line = StdoutRead($foo)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        ConsoleWrite($line)
        WEnd
    While 1
        $line = StderrRead($foo)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & @CRLF & $line)
    WEnd

EndFunc

Hi lsakizada,

maybe you want to use another type of quotes. Try:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c 'C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Virtual User Generator\bin\mdrv.exe' -usr 'C:\Users\Scripts\Some folder\test.usr' -out 'c:\Some Folder\Results Folder'", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

Hi lsakizada,

Run(@ComSpec & " /c 'C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Virtual User Generator\bin\mdrv.exe' -usr 'C:\Users\Scripts\Some folder\test.usr' -out 'c:\Some Folder\Results Folder'", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

Not works for me.

I use the following command:

$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c 'C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Virtual User Generator\bin\mdrv.exe' -usr 'C:\Users\ascqauser\Desktop\vUgen Scripts\Leonid Scripts for BSRM\FLEX_WORKING\FLEX_WORKING.usr' ", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

and the console display the message:

The file name, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

I am actually want to use the parameters that presents the cmdline arguments and the utility.
