tomr Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi A small question I've been hoping you could help me with. I'm using the Run() command to run a DOS program, but the DOS window closes automatically after running. How can I make it show "Press any key to continue..." before closing? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Try running cmd with /k rather than /c. Edit: The other alternative is to run "pause" after running the program. Edited December 20, 2011 by Mat AutoIt Project Listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 "/k" leaves the window open and I need to close it myself. What I want is to have the "Press any key to continue..." message to appear, and after pressing, the window will close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Did you try runnning pause like I suggested? AutoIt Project Listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UEZ Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Did you try runnning pause like I suggested?That will probably not work because the CMD command Pause has to be run within his run command. I would suggest to create a Batch file and put Pause to the last line.Afterwards run the batch file with Run().Br,UEZ Please don't send me any personal message and ask for support! I will not reply!

BrewManNH Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just thinking outloud here, but can't you pipe the first command to the pause command and have it work that way? It's been a while since I've done much with the commandline that way, but it might work. 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.
