SipeyCup Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Simply trying to get autoit to open command prompt and then enter a line to get robocopy to mirror a directory to another location and make a log file as well. Here is what I am struggling with. "robocopy" "C:UsersRyanDownloads" "E:hi" /MIR /W:5 /R:3 /LOG: "E:SyncITlog" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "-" & @YEAR & "-" & "copylist.log" I may be making this super complicated, but here's what I want to do. Mirror C:UsersRyanDownloads to E:hi and have it make a log file in E:SyncITlog, and name each log file look like this: 7-31-2013-copylist.log. I am somewhat new to autoit so I apologize if this is a ridiculously stupid error. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Don't use the command prompt for this, it's terribly inefficient, use the Run/RunWait command to run your command line instead. 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.
