ghetek Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 im going crazy here, why wont the following line work? RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c " & '"' & @ScriptDir & '\devcon.exe"' & " find * > " & '"' & @ScriptDir & "\send.txt" & '"',@WindowsDir,@SW_HIDE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) Try this and see what the cmd prompt says (if it has any errors of its own): Use Run instead of RunWait, use /k instead of /c (keep the cmd window open), and change @SW_HIDE to @SW_SHOW. [ EDIT ] Another good idea would be to break it down into a few lines, because that is definitely confusing as is. $DevconExe = @ScriptDir & "\devcon.exe" $SendTxt = @ScriptDir & "\send.txt" ...

Gigglestick Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) For one, it's easier to read if you use the same quote type for all text. Use only single OR double quotes. Also, there's no need to close the quote just to append a quote, as in "some text " & '"' & @something. Just use 'some text "' & @something. Next, is "find *" supposed to be a parameter for devcon.exe or do you mean to pipe devcon.exe's output to the find command, as in: RunWait (@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & '\devcon.exe" | find * > "' & @ScriptDir & '\send.txt"',@WindowsDir,@SW_HIDE) *EDIT* Typo Edited January 3, 2006 by c0deWorm My UDFs: ExitCodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators big_daddy Posted January 3, 2006 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) This code here works Run("cmd") WinWaitActive("C:\WINDOWS\system32\") Send('"' & @ScriptDir & '\devcon.exe"' & " find * > " & '"' & @ScriptDir & "\send.txt" & '"') Send("{Enter}") Edited January 3, 2006 by big_daddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 This code here works Run("cmd") WinWaitActive("C:\WINDOWS\system32\") Send('"' & @ScriptDir & '\devcon.exe"' & " find * > " & '"' & @ScriptDir & "\send.txt" & '"') Send("{Enter}") If I used that code, it wouldn't work for me. No window called "C:\WINDOWS\system32\" ever shows up for me when I open the command prompt. Mine's just called "Command Prompt". I would use ProcessWait("cmd.exe") instead of WinWaitActive("C:\WINDOWS\system32\"), just in case the title is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
