Command Mode Scripts

[Bob23]

This evening I installed AutoIt then tried creating and running a script to simply initiate command mode and enter dir.

My script (below) enters command mode fine but does not enter dir.  Would someone out there please run my

script then let me know if able to enter cmd mode AND enter dir ?  What am I not doing?  (My o/s is Win7x64.)

 

#include <Constants.au3>

; Run cmd.exe
Run("cmd.exe")

Sleep(2000)
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:cmd]")
Sleep(2000)

; Once in command mode execute dir
Send("dir{ENTER}")

Can someone please tell me why my script fails to enter dir to show files in directory?

Autoit comes with "AutoIt v3 Window Info" use it to get window information

When using the finder tool on the command prompt i got this information:

>>>> Window <<<<
Title:  Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
Class:  ConsoleWindowClass
Position:   175, 175
Size:   677, 342
Style:  0x14EF0000
ExStyle:    0x00040310
Handle: 0x0000000000201708

So the class you need is "ConsoleWindowClass"

Here's you script with that changed and no sleep:

; Run cmd.exe
Run("cmd.exe")

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:ConsoleWindowClass]")

; Once in command mode execute dir
Send("dir{ENTER}")
