myworlddown Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I know this has probably been answered before but I have tryed every availible resource to find a solution to this coding issue. I need to be able to run a program with command line switches which works fine in all operating systems except XP because of the spaces in "C:\Documents and Settings\". I realize that there is supposably a proper way to make it function using different " & ' but despite my best efforts have been unable to get it to work the code is simple RunWait(@comspec & '" /k ' & @DesktopDir & '\tdsskiller.exe -slient -dcexact -l tdss.txt"', '', @SW_HIDE) It simply runs and closes without opening anything. Any help is appriciated!
BrewManNH Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well, you spelled silent wrong for one thing.Also your command line will be run like this"C:Windowssystem32cmd.exe" /k C:UsersBobDesktoptdsskiller.exe -slient -dcexact -l tdss.txt" I'm thinking you're going to need a space before the first double quote in front of the /k. 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.

myworlddown Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) silent was spelled correctly in my actualy program and confirmed there is a space after first '" assuming &(space)'"(space)/k(space)'(space)& is accurate. RunWait(@comspec & '" /k ' & @DesktopDir & 'tdsskiller.exe -silent -dcexact -l tdss.txt"', '', @SW_HIDE)Thanks again for the help Edited March 1, 2013 by myworlddown
Exit Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 RunWait(@comspec & ' /k "' & @DesktopDir & 'tdsskiller.exe -silent -dcexact -l tdss.txt"', '', @SW_HIDE) But for testing, you should use @sw_show App: Au3toCmd UDF: _SingleScript()
myworlddown Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 RunWait(@comspec & ' /k "' & @DesktopDir & 'tdsskiller.exe -silent -dcexact -l tdss.txt"', '', @SW_SHOW) Still gives same error in CMD "'C:Documents' is not a recognized as an internal or external executable command, operable program, or batch file."

myworlddown Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 Now we are getting somewhere. When I run that script it opens tdsskiller.exe but does not input the switches.
BrewManNH Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 What happens if you don't use @ComSpec? Because you don't really need that If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
