Problem with quotes

[chelo32]

Good morning, I'm having problems with the quotes and I can't do it, I want to pin a shortcut to the taskbar using the pttb.exe file, from a batch file it works but when I take it to autoit it gives me an error

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & '\pttb.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" to PinToTaskbar"')

THANK YOU

this might work:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & '\pttb.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" to PinToTaskbar')

else post the working command when running for the commandline.

Unfortunately it doesn't work and I don't know why.

the batch code is this

pttb.exe "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" to PinToTaskbar

here is the pptb.exe

Leave out the 'to PinToTaskbar', that is just a comment indicating what the command is supposed to do and must not be part of the commandline.

Check where the pttb.exe is located. Is this in the scriptdirectory or accessible via the path environment?

It's often better to include the full path to external programs.

This should be exactly the same as when running it from the x86 cmd.exe prompt:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c pttb.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" to PinToTaskbar')

Thank you very much Jos, it did not cross my mind to remove & @ScriptDir & , as something simple can drive you crazy. THANK YOU
