File Path At The Wrong Place? Where Have I Gone Wrong?

[Autoxics]

This works fine when the script is anywhere execpt in the temp folder it does not work,

well the first part does , as if Notepad is running, but the else statment does not if notepad in not running

however booth statments works well if the script is execute in from another directory , like C:\

$var = ProcessExists("Notepad.exe")
If ProcessExists("Notepad.exe") Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Notepad Is Running.")
Else
If @compiled Then
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'ping -n 1 localhost & del ' & @ScriptFullPath, "D:/.", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep (10)
EndIf
EndIF
Exit

So i figured it must be a missing @TempDir so i tried this but with no luck

Where have i gone wrong?

Please try out the code if you want to.

$var = ProcessExists("Notepad.exe")
If ProcessExists("Notepad.exe") Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Notepad Is Running.")
Else
If @compiled Then
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'ping -n 1 localhost & del ' & @TempDir & @ScriptFullPath, "D:/.", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep (10)
EndIf
EndIF
Exit

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'ping -n 1 localhost & del ' & @TempDir & @ScriptFullPath, "D:/.", @SW_HIDE)

That doesn't look right (in red).

Edit:

Also your @TempDir & @ScriptFullPath doesn't make much sense either....

My suggestion is for you to debug like this at the top:

MsgBox(0, 'Info', @TempDir & @ScriptFullPath)

so you can see for yourself. Edited April 19, 2006 by SmOke_N

this cant be right either

@TempDir & @ScriptFullPath

lol, Although I don't play with run commands often, nor do I mess with del at all, I would imagine that you would need a space after del as well.

I get an error on that one "Incorrect Number of parameters"

What did you try?... I said that D:/. doesn't look right... Try just putting "" there.

I put the compile script here

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp

and i used this

$var = ProcessExists("Notepad.exe")
If ProcessExists("Notepad.exe") Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Notepad Is Running.")
Else
If @compiled Then
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'ping -n 1 localhost & del ' & @TempDir & @ScriptFullPath, "", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep (10)
EndIf
EndIF
Exit

Did you try the Message Box I put up there... or did I just type it for fun? You'll see what your problem is.

I tried it out to put this ontop of my script

MsgBox(0, 'Info', @TempDir & @ScriptFullPath)

I runed the script in

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp

I get a message box with path, but i dont know how to use that info

in the correct way

This is the box i get , Should i put this exact name in between the ""

Ugh!!

Look at it... does that look right? You have 2 paths there. Just use @ScriptFullPath

Edited April 19, 2006 by SmOke_N

[Autoxics]

Ok i just use this now one of the path i got from the messagebox inbetween this" "

and i just use @ScriptFullPath

Like this

$var = ProcessExists("Notepad.exe")
If ProcessExists("Notepad.exe") Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Notepad Is Running.")
Else
If @compiled Then
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'ping -n 1 localhost & del ' & @ScriptFullPath, "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep (10)
EndIf
EndIF
