RunWait() how to suppress child window.

[chakka 0]

hello AutoIt friends,

I'm executing WinRar.exe via Autoit RunWait() function using the falg @SW_HIDE. but sometimes I may get corrupted rar/zip archive. so when I try to extract these files, "winrar diagnostic messages" window will appear and someone need to close the "error" dialogue box to continue executing remain portion of the script

How can I overcome these error notification dialogue? (but I need to catch the error for logging purpose)

RunWait($rarPath& ' x -o+ "'&$archFile&'" "' & $extractPath&'"',"",@SW_HIDE)

Can you please guide me.

Thanks

Have you looked at the commandline parameters for winrar to suppress error messages?

Don't use the version with graphical user interface (WinRAR.exe) use the command line console (text mode) version (Rar.exe).

Or set the flag to disable error messages: -inul

Something like:

$TITLE = "My Error Window Title"
$BUTTONTEXT = "OK"
WinActivate($TITLE, "")
ControlClick($TITLE, "", "[TEXT:" & $BUTTONTEXT & "]")

thanks all

@water. -INUL is ok but i need to catch the error

is it possible something like

RunWait($rarPath& ' x -o+ "'&$archFile&'" "' & $extractPath&'"',"",@SW_HIDE)
If $error Then ; write to log file

Please have a look at the help file, function RunWait:

Return Value

Success: Returns the exit code of the program that was run.

So if WinRAR gives you a different return value when there was a problem then you can catch it. But you need to test.

Or use flag -ilog to write the error messages to a log file. You can then check the log for errors in your AutoIt script.

thanks a bunch water. I'm testing... most probably I'll conclude with -ilog.

see you again
