Running code from cmdline main root - (Moved)


Recommended Posts

I am new to AutoIT although MANY years ago I used a similar program called WinBatch to automate morning routines.

I am having some issues running code from the command line.

If I use this line in my script

Run ('cmd.exe /K "C:\start microsoft-edge:https://app.flowalgo.com/users/login"')

It opens the cmd screen but the directory is set to the directory where the script that is running is located.

C:\Autostart-Workstation\AMStart, and I need it to run from the C prompt

I can get it to open at the C prompt with

Run ('cmd.exe /K "cd\"')

Is there a way to force the code to run from the root prompt ("C:\")?

or how do I send the code to the cmd screen once I've changed to the root drive

Look at the help file. This is parameter #2 of Run().

Maybe?:

Run ('cmd.exe /K "C:\start microsoft-edge:https://app.flowalgo.com/users/login"',"c:\")

Probably don't use the C:\ at the start, since I'm assuming the second parameter "c:\" tells it to start there?

And is /c still the switch to autoclose the cmd screen?

Did you open that Helpfile to check the purpose of the parameters?

Why would you think this is any different from normal and did you simply try? 

Life can be simple ;)

Of course I eliminated the starting C:\ because I could see that wasn't necessary with the parameter and I added the /c switch and it works fine.

Thanks for leading me in the right direction.

I always answer the replies with any further questions, before I try new code, so hopefully I get an answer right after re-failing ((-;
