Jadog 0 Posted November 17, 2011 I would like to create a variable and so far I've had no success - I think it's because the folder path is enclosed in quotes. I've tried the following, but when I run it nothing happens: Dim $CPDirectory = "C:\Program Files\RadProg\Bin\" ; If 32-bit PC Run($CPDirectory & '"CP.exe" /Alias "AHOH" /UserID "Backroom" /Workgroup "1"') Here's the one without the variable and it works fine: Run('"C:\Program Files\RadProg\Bin\CP.exe" /Alias "AHOH" /UserID "Backroom" /Workgroup "1"') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrewManNH 1,305 Posted November 17, 2011 You're enclosing the program name in quotes, but not the folder name. What that will give you is C:Program FilesRadProgBin"CP.exe" /alias "AHOH"... 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.

Jadog 0 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Ok, so I changed it to: Run('$CPDirectory & "CP.exe" /Alias "AHOH" /UserID "Backroom" /Workgroup "1"') But it still doesn't execute the program. When I remove the outer single quotes and the parameters (see below), then it opens the program just fine. Run($CPDirectory & "CP.exe") I really need it to execute with the specified parameters though. Edited November 17, 2011 by Jadog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbg1978 0 Posted November 17, 2011 Try: chr(34) & $CPDirectory & "CP.exe" & chr(34) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malkey 231 Posted November 17, 2011 Follow the comments in this example. ; Post says this works Run('"C:\Program Files\RadProg\Bin\CP.exe" /Alias "AHOH" /UserID "Backroom" /Workgroup "1"') ConsoleWrite('"C:\Program Files\RadProg\Bin\CP.exe" /Alias "AHOH" /UserID "Backroom" /Workgroup "1"' & @LF) ; So, using this variable Local $CPDirectory = "C:\Program Files\RadProg\Bin\" ; If 32-bit PC ; Next line, we have replaced C:\Program Files\RadProg\Bin\ with ' & $CPDirectory & ' Run('"' & $CPDirectory & 'CP.exe" /Alias "AHOH" /UserID "Backroom" /Workgroup "1"') ConsoleWrite('"' & $CPDirectory & 'CP.exe" /Alias "AHOH" /UserID "Backroom" /Workgroup "1"' & @LF) ; The two resulting console writes are exactly the same. And, these will be the commands that are run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
