monte Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hello, How do I include a parenthesis within a string? Here's my code: $mystr=" /c \\my\server\path\(test) some path\folder\some documet.doc" dim $site[5] $site[1]= @ComSpec $site[2]= $mystr $site[3]= "" $site[4]= @SW_HIDE Run($site[1] & $site[2], $site[3], $site[4]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdkid Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 read the help file on run. You can only run executable files.. try Run(@comspec & " /c start " & filegetshortname("/c \\my\server\path\(test) some path\folder\some documet.doc")) AutoIt Console written in C#.

nfwu Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The exact command (cmd, dos) error is: '\\my\server\path\' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I see your problem now... This should work:$mystr=' /c @start "\\my\server\path\(test) some path\folder\some documet.doc"' dim $site[5] $site[1]= @ComSpec $site[2]= $mystr $site[3]= "" $site[4]= @SW_HIDE Run($site[1] & $site[2], $site[3], $site[4]) TwitterOut of date stuff:Scripts: Sudoku Solver | Webserver | 3D library (Pure AutoIt) | Wood's GadgetsUDFs: _WoodUniqueID() | _DialogEditIni() | _Console*() | _GetIPConfigData() | _URLEncode/Decode() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
