I need to be able to issue a command line which has a folder in parentheses as
attrib +s +h "absolute folder to hide" I've read through many posts here but nothing quite hacks how to use a variable as the folder in parentheses.
I've tried
Local $dosattrib = "attrib +s +h " & ""$hidFolder"" ; $hidFolder built up from decrypted encrypted C:\Hidden Folder which I do not want visible when compiled version is reverse engineered which errors with excess parentheses but in single "" it doesn't work.
There seems to be a relatively complicated method to make it work but surely there's a simple way?

Hi all,
I need to start a script that include:
- admin privileges
- multiple cmd commands
- no bat, no exe, no tmp files created anywhere (especially in the user temp folder)
In a bat file it would be simple, but users shouldn't see what commands I'm sending.
Example of the script:
echo off cls echo. echo I AM A TOOL echo. echo NOTE: echo - note 1 echo - note 2 echo - etc set USER1=0 set COMPUTER1=0 if /i %username% equ user.user ( set USER1=1 set COMPUTER1=1 ) if /i %username% equ another.user set USER1=1 if /i %computername% equ notebook set COMPUTER1=1 if %USER1% EQU 1 ( if %COMPUTER1% EQU 1 ( reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\blablabla" /f ) else ( echo Computer not authorized. Contact assistance.) ) else ( echo User not authorized. Contact assistance.) echo. pause exit With the send("") is a disaster.
I'm a noob here, so what can I do?
EDIT: OR ELSE I explain the situation and what I need, so if there is a simple solution I can use that.
SITUATION: our domain users have Users rights on the machine. Some of them need administrator rights.
We create a local user with administrator rights, so that the users must insert username and password when asked to run something with administrator rights.
We have an internal domain group policy that blocks EXE, BAT, COM, TMP files from the user local temp directory, for a security reason (malware). That also blocks most software installation.
But some users are often out of office, away from workplace and in another country, they need a complete control on their computers.
WHAT I NEED: I need to check the username and the computer name. If the username is the one with local administrator rights and the computer name is a computer that is qualified to temporary remove the policy, then I need to execute a REG DELETE command with administrator rights.
I hope I explained myself.
Thank you very much.

I have problems running both Bat files and Command line instructions.
This function hopefully shows what I have tried so far
Global $fFileToCreate = "", $DOS ScanFilm($fFileToCreate) Func ScanFilm($fFileToCreate) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Scanning Status", $fFileToCreate) ; $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "scan.bat" & @CRLF, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /k " & "ncat 192.168.1.6 80 <scant.txt >scanrep", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) ; $DOS = _RunDOS("ncat 192.168.1.6 80 <scant.txt >scanrep") ProcessWaitClose($DOS) $Message = StdoutRead($DOS) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Stdout Read:", $Message) Endfunc My first attempt running scan.bat reveals a bug in cmd.exe where the result of
echo !SR | ncat 192.168.1.6 80 > scanrep is
C:\S3_GUI\ncat>scan.bat C:\S3_GUI\ncat>echo scant.txt | ncat 192.168.1.6 80 1>scanrep Ncat: . C:\S3_GUI\ncat> note the added '1' which then throws the error, (when client is connected), "File or directory not found" so the command fails. This has been run on four different computers running Windows 7 with same result.
Next using Run() seems to truncate the command so $DOS reads:
Using _RunDOS() doesn't throw any error but MsgBox() is empty.

Hi,
Background: i have a number of instances of the same application that I want to automate in parallel.
Unfortunately, I cannot completely automate these instances in the background. So, from time to time these instances need to have the focus so that I can interact with the controls via “send” directly.
Each of the application instances is controlled by a au3 complied script. Each script (called with a parameter) manages the automation of the respective application-instance. Each of the (complied) script (instances) is called by a (central) front end with a gui. The front end controls if the “focus” is available to do the “send” and “mouseclick” modifications. The central front end either allows a child to have the focus or prevents it to get the focus (in which case the child will wait and checks again). The code for the front end is included. Apologies for the lengthy explanation.

My issue now is that the mechanism with with StdoutRead and StdinWrite is not efficient at all. The more instances I start the slower it gets. This is not just a bit slower (like a fraction of a second), but to the degree that the front end is not responding at all any longer (with 3 instances handling).
So my questions are:
1. Is there a flaw in my implementation with StdoutRead and StdinWrite? (note that all works fine with 1 and also (slower) with 2 instances running) but actually breaks down with 3 instances running.
2. Can I optimize the currently used implementation so that I can control 30+ instances?
3. What other implementation do you see suitable for this approach?
a. I have already tried it with communication through files but observed that this is not sufficiently reliable with multiple instances.
b. Is Named Pipes a more performant approach (I am a bit scared of the effort to learn and implement this)
c. Any other method?
Many thanks in advance
