Powershell command

[CutterButter]

In Windows 10 Powershell I'm able to run:

(Get-Item "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe").VersionInfo.ProductVersion

I get  this result :

10.0.19041.1

 

I'd like to run this command and using these variables:

$PSH = "powershell"

$myExePath = "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe"

$CMD = $PSH & '(Get-Item "$myExePath").VersionInfo.ProductVersion'

$result = Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD, "", @SW_HIDE)

 

How can I make it ?

[ajag]

$CMD = $PSH & '(Get-Item "' & $myExePath & '").VersionInfo.ProductVersion'

Use this if you'd like.

use the buildin fuction FileGetVersion()

 

$Version=FileGetVersion(@ComSpec)
MsgBox(0,"@Comspec Version",@ComSpec & @CRLF & $Version)

And another one:

 

$result = Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD, "", @SW_HIDE)

this will give you the exit code, not the result of your program.

 

To catch the "output" you would need to read the output by using StdoutRead()

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

$PID = Run($YourCommand, $WD, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_MERGED) ; run(), do not use runwait()

while ProcessExists($PID)
    sleep(200)
wend

$Output=StdoutRead($PID)
StdioClose($PID)
