Passing variable to CMD

[creamers]

So I have a variable $Driveletter and I have a file ./includes/tc/tc.exe.

What I need to do is run ./includes/tc/tcc.exe ./include/scripts/ownership.bat $Driveletter

I may need to run it as a relative path to tcc.exe which is easy to do but the biggest problem I have is running the script with the $Driveletter variable.

If the files are relative to the script's directory, I'd use @ScriptDir instead of hoping the working directory is set correctly. Second, I'd use backslashes for the file paths because I'm not sure which Windows commands will accept a forward slash instead of using the correct character. I know that some, probably most, will but why take chances by writing them wrong to start with.

 

BTW, you have two functions named ownership in your script

I am having trouble implementing that.

Can you point me with a sample code that would do this?

I dont think @scriptdir is exactly what I am looking for either since I am not needing to know the working directory.

start .includestctcc.exe .ownership.bat $DriveLetter

That would be the simplist form I can think of though I am still having massive trouble defining everything. I can launch tcc.exe but can not get it to run ownership.bat at the very least. It comes up and says ownership.bat20 not found using the code.

Run(@ComSpec & " /c start ./includes/tc/tcc.exe ownership.bat" & $Driveletter, '' , @SW_HIDE)

Edited August 12, 2013 by creamers

$Driveletter is a Control ID number which is 20 for your script. Use GuiCtrlRead to read from the ID. Ensure a space after bat as well.

Run('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c start ./includes/tc/tcc.exe ownership.bat ' & GUICtrlRead($Driveletter), '' , @SW_HIDE)

[kylomas]

creamers,

Also, this

_GUICtrlButton_SetShield($ B)

Should probably be this

_GUICtrlButton_SetShield($b)

And this

Run("@ComSpec & " / c " & " . / includes / tc / tcc.exe " & $driveletter &"")

Is using the input controlid variable $driveletter wrong.  It should probably be something like

Run(@ComSpec & " / c " & " . / includes / tc / tcc.exe " & guictrlread($driveletter) & "")

kylomas

edit: MHz got in before me...

All of you all helped dramatically! thank you

Though my code is real dirty now

# ;****This will take ownership of the $driveleter drive. ****
Func ownership()
;**** All this below commented is useless code that I was experimenting with
;****run("./includes/tc/tcc.exe cls")
;****Run("@ComSpec & " /c " & "./includes/tc/tcc.exe " & $driveletter &"")
;****Run(@ComSpec & " /c start ./includes/tc/tcc.exe ownership.bat" & $Driveletter, '' , @SW_HIDE)
;****Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & '"\includes\tc\tcc.exe" '& $Driveletter &',' @SW_HIDE)
RunWait(takeownership())
EndFunc

Func Permissions()
Run(takepermissions())
EndFunc

Func Symlinks()
takesym()
EndFunc

;**** each script just has a copy of the previous script and it is linked into a new function using the declared vairables $Driveleter through GUICTRLRead($Driveletter)
Func takeownership()
Run('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c start ./includes/tc/tcc.exe ownership.bat ' & GUICtrlRead($Driveletter), '' , @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

Func takepermissions()
Run('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c start ./includes/tc/tcc.exe permissions.bat ' & GUICtrlRead($Driveletter), '' , @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

Func takesym()
Run('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c start ./includes/tc/tcc.exe symlinks.bat ' & GUICtrlRead($Driveletter), '' , @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

I ended up adding all the functions to each bat file though what I would like to do is

takeownership()
takepermissions()
takesym()

though If I run it like that or with runwait it never executes take permissions. I need them to progress in order.

I have it working in a crude way like I mentioned earlier.

[MHz]

takeownership()
takepermissions()
takesym()

Though this is how you call functions. You do not Run() them but rather call them. So you seem to do something correct and then you do something quite odd in other places in your script. This makes it difficult to clean up your code as it is not quite finished? We can only try though with with what seems like a strong *nix style and the use of tcc.exe for this.

You could possibly run tcc.exe as you described in your 1st post. It is like a 4DOS interpreter so I would expect it to run on its own without needing @ComSpec to assist. Now I have considered that you can do it with the concerned actions listed in 1 function. It is perhaps not so cool as it runs tcc.exe 3 times though it may be good enough for your GUI application.

; any of these or all of them
_Take('own', GUICtrlRead($Driveletter))
_Take('permissions', GUICtrlRead($Driveletter))
_Take('symlinks', GUICtrlRead($Driveletter))
; or
_Take('all', GUICtrlRead($Driveletter))

Func _Take($action, $driveletter)
    Switch $action
        Case 'own', 'all'
            RunWait('./includes/tc/tcc.exe ownership.bat ' & $driveletter, '', @SW_HIDE)
            If $action = 'all' Then ContinueCase
        Case 'permissions'
            RunWait('./includes/tc/tcc.exe permissions.bat ' & $driveletter, '' , @SW_HIDE)
            If $action = 'all' Then ContinueCase
        Case 'symlinks'
            RunWait('./includes/tc/tcc.exe symlinks.bat ' & $driveletter, '' , @SW_HIDE)
        Case Else
            Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Getting rid of @ComSpec and the use of Start helps RunWait to not return until tcc.exe has finished in each instance. I do not use tcc.exe to know its behavior so some presumption exists that this may work.

Good night!
First of all I apologize for bad English. I'm Portuguese and I never had training in English.
This is my first post.
I do not have extensive knowledge in AutoIt3, but I take the risk and leave you this idea:
- Why not create the file ".bat" during the execution of the program? So no need to pass parameters to the batch file, because these are already there embedded.
Example:

expandcollapse popup

Local $driveletter = "c:"
Local $driveletter2 = "d:"

MakeBat($driveletter)
RunWait(@TempDir & "\ownership.bat")
MakeBat2($driveletter, $driveletter2)
RunWait(@TempDir & "\ownership.bat")


Func MakeBat($driveletter)
    Local $BatFile = @TempDir & "\ownership.bat"
    Local $BatFileText
    If FileExists($BatFile) Then FileDelete($BatFile)
    $BatFileText = 'Echo Now executing ' & $BatFile & @CRLF _
             & 'Dir ' & $driveletter & @CRLF _
             & 'Echo End of ' & $BatFile & @CRLF _
             & 'Pause' & @CRLF _
             & ':loop' & @CRLF _
             & 'del /F /Q "' & $BatFile & @CRLF _
             & 'if exist "' & $BatFile & '" goto loop'
    FileWrite($BatFile, $BatFileText)
EndFunc   ;==>MakeBat

Func MakeBat2($driveletter, $driveletter2)
    Local $BatFile = @TempDir & "\ownership.bat"
    Local $BatFileText
    If FileExists($BatFile) Then FileDelete($BatFile)
    $BatFileText = 'Echo Now executing ' & $BatFile & @CRLF _
             & 'Dir ' & $driveletter & @CRLF _
             & 'Pause' & @CRLF _
             & 'Dir ' & $driveletter2 & @CRLF _
             & 'Echo End of ' & $BatFile & @CRLF _
             & 'Pause' & @CRLF _
             & ':loop' & @CRLF _
             & 'del /F /Q "' & $BatFile & @CRLF _

This was something that was thrown around in the air and was decided against due to the amount of temp files and then I would have to trigger a delete command to clear the function. It will be used on about 6 machines each machine being used 2-3 days. Preferably off a unc share so at a max it would be 18 files created in a day and each machine will have the same drive letters attached. Thank you very much though. Also your english was perfect for me.

 

Though this is how you call functions. You do not Run() them but rather call them. So you seem to do something correct and then you do something quite odd in other places in your script.

I will be integrating this for sure. Infact I already did and it is much cleaner thank you!. The only issue I found was this

Func Permissions()
_Take('own', GUICtrlRead($driveletter))
_Take('permissions', GUICtrlRead($driveletter))
EndFunc ;==>Permissions

I trigger two takes, I tried modifiying the case and have since then trashed the code .

Also for the record tcc.exe is Take Command a command line replacement with extra functions!

[MHz]

 

Func Permissions()

_Take('own', GUICtrlRead($driveletter))

_Take('permissions', GUICtrlRead($driveletter))

EndFunc ;==>Permissions

This will call _Take() twice as it is 2 function calls. So ownership.bat and permissions.bat will be run. You could perhaps send more then 1 parameter to the bat file and do it in a single instance. CMD supports "command1 & command2" in one line though I am not sure if tcc.exe does as well. I did see the mention of & in the online help for tcc.exe on the page about Multiple commands. It looks like you can use /C to invoke a command line using tcc.exe. This is where I got the basic information of tcc.exe.

If & can be used then you could try this. Just builds the string complete and then passes it to RunWait().

; any of these
_Take('-own', GUICtrlRead($Driveletter))
_Take('-permissions', GUICtrlRead($Driveletter))
_Take('-symlinks', GUICtrlRead($Driveletter))
; or many on one line. Whitespace is of no concern for this
_Take('-own-permissions -symlinks', GUICtrlRead($Driveletter))

Func _Take($action, $driveletter)
    Local $string
    If StringInStr($action, '-own') Then
        If $string Then $string &= ' &'
        $string &= ' ownership.bat ' & $driveletter
    EndIf
    If StringInStr($action, '-permissions') Then
        If $string Then $string &= ' &'
        $string &= ' permissions.bat ' & $driveletter
    EndIf
    If StringInStr($action, '-symlinks') Then
        If $string Then $string &= ' &'
        $string &= ' symlinks.bat ' & $driveletter
    EndIf
    If Not $string Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    RunWait('./includes/tc/tcc.exe /c ' & $string, '', @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

The script you posted does not match what you want, e.g. no all of own, permissions and symlinks together so I am still unsure how complete it. Perhaps if you can sort what buttons needed, test what works etc then I may be able to help with your code to do this.

[MHz]

creamers,

I did a hack with your code. I have not tested the tcc.exe stuff etc., just starting the GUI. See if it works for you. The modification etc can be done and hopefully something to build on.

You may notice that I set ownership button to "-own", set permissions button to "-own -permissions" and set symlinks button to "-symlinks".
