Moderators Melba23 Posted May 31, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2013 nazirequbal786,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. Look at _FileListToArray and _FileWriteFromArray in the Help file. Those 2 functions will get you a list of files in a folder which match a particular mask, and then write that list to a file. Come back if you have problems with the code you write.

jdelaney Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) $sDir = "yourdir" $sOutputDir = @DesktopDir Run( @ComSpec & " /c dir /b c:\*" & $sDir & " > """ & $sOutputDir & "\val.txt""") or, like melba has shown (use runwait if you are going to interact with the output text) (added wrapping " incase output dir has spaces) Edited May 31, 2013 by jdelaney IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.

water Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 You need to remove the extra "r" from "Run".

jdelaney Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) not @compspec...should be @comspec. (this was not a typo in my orig post ) If this is not the issue, please post in your script, with it's console output. or, try this, so you can check your syntax: $sDir = "yourdir" $sOutputDir = @DesktopDir $cmd = @ComSpec & " /c dir /b n:\*" & $sDir & " > """ & $sOutputDir & "\val.txt""" ConsoleWrite($cmd & @CRLF) Run($cmd) Edited May 31, 2013 by jdelaney IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.

nazirequbal786 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Sorry it was typo i am using @comspec only now i am not getting error but not desire output !! RunWait ( @ComSpec & "/c dir /b E:" & $Client & " >> " & "val.txt") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdelaney Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) you are missing the "*", if that's needed (in your orig post)...you are also missing the output dir...you would need to first use function FileChangeDir to change to where you want the output, or define it like in my sample example $sDir = "rs" $sOutputDir = @DesktopDir FileChangeDir($sOutputDir) $cmd = @ComSpec & " /c dir /b c:\*" & $sDir & " > val.txt" ConsoleWrite($cmd & @CRLF) Run($cmd) oh, and you need a space prior to /c Edited May 31, 2013 by jdelaney IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.

jdelaney Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) does the dir exist? you are looking for an exact match of: e:client...where client is your variable try this, and read the error.txt: $sDir = "rs" $sOutputDir = @DesktopDir FileChangeDir($sOutputDir) $cmd = @ComSpec & " /c dir /b c:\" & $sDir & " > val.txt 2> error.txt" ConsoleWrite($cmd & @CRLF) Run($cmd) edit...just saw your post above, good Edited May 31, 2013 by jdelaney IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.
