folder as variable and running the app

[ayatest]

I'm still "blind" to coding (tried some combinations but with no luck), so forgive me such.simple questions.

While experimenting, I was able to get some folders of interest and define them as custom variables (is this method correct? I tried to read these custom variables via some example messagebox, and they seem to work fine).

What I'm stuck with - is the syntax to run the app.

    Local $sEnvVar = EnvGet("ProgramFiles(x86)")
    $test = $sEnvVar
    Local $sEnvVar = EnvGet("APPDATA")
    $test2 = $sEnvVar
 

Run($test & "subfolder namesubfolder nameapp name.exe")

How to fix it and start the app?

Why not just use the built in macros?

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Subfolder\MyApp.exe")

or

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64 = Y

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Subfolder\MyApp.exe")

if you want to specify C:Program Files on a 64bit machine.

Because I don't know too much on macros yet.

But definately I will want to use various types of custom folder paths, defined as custom variables.

So the problem I have here is - how to combine a variable that represents some path - with the rest of filepath, and with the Run command. (path string contains spaces as well as you can see)

The problem in your first post is you're overwriting your $sEnvVar variable. This works just fine for me:

Local $sEnvVar = EnvGet("ProgramFiles(x86)")
    $test = $sEnvVar
Local $sEnvVar1 = EnvGet("APPDATA")
     $test2 = $sEnvVar1


ConsoleWrite($test & "\subfolder name\subfolder name\app name.exe" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($test2 & "\subfolder name\subfolder name\app name.exe" & @CRLF)

So defining multiple variables is a matter of separate question. Still - when having this:

    Local $sEnvVar = EnvGet("ProgramFiles(x86)")
    $test = $sEnvVar

ConsoleWrite($test & "folder name1folder name2app name.exe" & @CRLF)

it isn't starting the app

ok, works with Run command, single variable.

This also works:

$y = @WorkingDir
$X=@ProgramFilesDir & "AutoIt3Au3Info.exe"
run($X,$y)
