Can't run something using shellexecute or run

I am trying to run the MySQL command processor to process some sql statements.

If I open a dos command window and submit the following it works.

"c:\Program Files\mysql\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysql.exe" -u root < "c:\sqldata\CreateUsersAndDatabases.sql"

but I can't get it to work using either a shellexecute or a run.

Thanks

Steven

With shellexecute you need to be sure you put parameters in the parameter area, every time I try and just use an entire thing to load up services.msc /s in one area it fails, but when I put the /s into the parameter area it is fine. You should check into that.

Try using something like this to prevent problems with spaces in program names.

$Path = FileGetShortName("c:Program FilesmysqlMySQL Server 5.1binmysql.exe")
Run($Path & ' -u root < "c:sqldataCreateUsersAndDatabases.sql"')

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.

thanks BrewManNH, but it didn't help.

Because when I just run the part before the < it works.

I think that I am starting the program, "c:Program FilesmysqlMySQL Server 5.1binmysql.exe" .

Because when I just run the part before the < it works. the problem is the < of the file

Couldn't you just use "' u "c:sqldataCreateUsersAndDatabases.sql"' instead of using the pipe "<"?
