Draygoes Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Hello all. I am trying to automate creating large test files. The code will pretty much tell you what I am trying to accomplish. $Number = "1" $SizeType = "MB" If $SizeType = "MB" Then $Size = "1048576" * $Number EndIf If $SizeType = "GB" Then $Size = "1073741824" * $Number EndIf Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'fsutil file create new c:\users\steve\desktop\1gb.test' & $Size & "'" , "", @SW_HIDE) All I need is for the variable "$Size" to be inserted at the end of the command. This is proving harder than I thought. Spoiler "If a vegetarian eats vegetables,What the heck does a humanitarian eat?" "I hear voices in my head, but I ignore them and continue on killing." "You have forced me to raise the indifference warning to beige, it's a beige alert people. As with all beige alerts please prepare to think about the possibility of caring." An optimist says that giving someone power DOESN'T immediately turn them into a sadist. A pessimist says that giving someone power doesn't IMMEDIATELY turn them into a sadist.
Solution Hawkysoft Posted April 1, 2014 Solution Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) not at home atm but u should try this...Run(@ComSpec & " /c fsutil file createnew test.txt " & $Size,"",@SW_HIDE) Edited April 1, 2014 by Hawkysoft Draygoes 1
Gianni Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I would try to change create new to createnew (no space) and will add a space right after "desktop1gb.test ' <- add a space here after test Draygoes 1 Chimp small minds discuss people average minds discuss events great minds discuss ideas.... and use AutoIt....
