olympus Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 How do I pause a command prompt window that is generated using @ComSpec after it has finished executing the DOS command? For example: Run(@ComSpec " /c regedit.exe") After opening the RegEdit window, the black CMD window will automatically close. How do I make it pause? Thank you!

water Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Append a "Pause" statement. DOS allows to concatenate commands. I'm not 100% sure but tryRun(@ComSpec " /c regedit.exe & Pause") My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure but tryRun(@ComSpec " /c regedit.exe & Pause") Thank you! I'll try both suggestion. Didn't know the /c parameter meant 'close' haha.

olympus Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Both method works! The difference: With the /k parameter, the window is closed by pressing by 'X' button. With the 'Pause' added, any key can be pressed to close the window. Thank you Xeno and water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
