Send %var value to Dos Batch or .exe

[rootx]

Hello everyone,

I need help to send from Autoit GUI input.text a var value to my batch...

example...

My windows batch program

_{set /p sourcedir=}

and than

_{FOR /f %%a IN ('dir /b /a-d "%sourcedir%*.jpg" ') DO ( etc......}

.........................

Autoit ??

_{Local $sourcedir= InputBox("My program", "past source path.", "")}
 

This is because I would like to have a graphical user interface.

 

Thanks.

You don't need a batch file.  Autoit can send commands like a console, and you can pull off the for statement in a similar manner.

That being said...

set /p sourcedir=%%1*

then when you run the batch file from within the script, just supply the $sourcedir variable as it's argument (use quotes around it).

ShellExecute ("list-pics.bat",$sourcedir,"","open",@SW_HIDE)

You probably can replace the batch file by an AutoIt script, using functions like FileSelectFolder(), _FileListToArray(), and a loop...

For example :

#Include <File.au3>

Local $sourcedir= FileSelectFolder("Choose a folder", "", "", @ScriptDir)
If $sourcedir = "" Then Exit

Local $aFiles = _FileListToArray ( $sourcedir, "*.jpg", 1, 1)

For $i = 1 To $aFiles[0]
    ; Do wha you want with $aFiles[$i]

Tanks,

Well my program run very well inside dos shell, rewrite all .....  is very expensive!

My solution?..... easy, write one init txt file with Autoit, then read all variable from it

;explode
Local $sourcedir= FileSelectFolder("Choose a folder", "", "", @ScriptDir)
If $sourcedir = "" Then Exit
;build txt init
     FileWrite($file, $page)
     FileWrite($file, @CRLF)
     FileWrite($file, $title)
     FileWrite($file, @CRLF)
     FileWrite($file, $imgfolder)
     FileWrite($file, @CRLF)
     FileWrite($file, $descr)
     FileWrite($file, @CRLF)
     FileWrite($file,$sourcedir)
     FileClose($file)

My last question .... it is possible to run exe in hide mode?
