Complex arguments

[prmanningham]

Hi guys, I'm having some issue with arguments here.

I have this batch file that works fine and I would like to convert to autoit :

"\\server\setup.exe" /s /v"/qn ALLUSERS=1 LEI_SILENT=1 PIDKEY=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX LEI_ACDID_EMAIL=my@email.com LEI_ACDID_PWD=Password SERVER=server PORT=6319"

Unfortunately, the quotes in the arguements seem to be causing problems :

$setup = "setup.exe"
Run( $setup & " /s /v"/qn ALLUSERS=1 LEI_SILENT=1 PIDKEY=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX LEI_ACDID_EMAIL=my@email.com LEI_ACDID_PWD=Password SERVER=server PORT=6319"" )
ProcessWaitClose ( $setup )

Would you have any suggestion in how to handle quotes in this context?

Thanks in advance!

I always use a single quote for outer, and double quotes inside. Helps distinguish things:

Run( $setup & '/s /v"/qn ALLUSERS=1 LEI_SILENT=1 PIDKEY=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX LEI_ACDID_EMAIL=my@email.com LEI_ACDID_PWD=Password SERVER=server PORT=6319"' )

I would also load each argument into a variable for easy manipulation.

eg

$sServer='server'
$iPort=6319
...SERVER='&$sServer&' PORT='&$iPort
