Execute question

[SlimShady]

I would like to parse strings that contain AutoIt macros.

The following does not work. Does anyone have a solution?

$Cmd = '@SystemDrive & "\Directory"'
$val = Execute('String(' & $Cmd & ')')
MsgBox(64, Default, $val)

Is this what you want

$Cmd = "@SystemDrive & '\Directory'"
$val = Execute("String(' & $Cmd & ')")
MsgBox(64, Default, $val)

All I did was change the quotes around.

I believe this is what you want

$Cmd = '@SystemDir & "\Directory"'
$val = Execute('String(' & $Cmd & ')')
MsgBox(64, Default, $val)

I check the help file I didn't see any macro call @SystemDrive so I change it to @SystemDir and work fine...

Shit I was so hell bent on getting something to appear in the msgbox I missed that. Edited November 15, 2005 by BigDod

this seems to get the same results

$Cmd = '@SystemDir & "\Directory"'
$val = Execute(String( $Cmd ))
MsgBox(64, Default, $val)

???

This too.

$Cmd = '@SystemDir & "\Directory"'
$val = Execute($Cmd)
MsgBox(64, Default, $val)

So it is possible!

Thank you all
