your PM

thanks for the checking, u said run syntax check, and it allows you to fix the errors?

how do u do that?

also, i ran the corrected code u gave me, and it ran now without errors.

However, once the script was finished running, took about 5 secs, i didnt have any files that gave me what i wanted.

basically i want to run those 4 programs silently, and create a text file with the results of all four programs, with a time stamp on it. any advice or changes? any thing i need to setup in the directories, besides having the programs there?

i got the script from 2600, so it should do what i want, but its not. I just started with autoit last night, but i once i get the hang of it , youll probably see a lot more from me, i seem to enjoy it.

well thanks in advance.

i only help in the forums

I fixed the errors with "SciTE" editor..

3

to run "hidden" cmd replace /k with /c

example

Run(@ComSpec & ' /k... blah

to

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ... blah

4

i think this line errases the text file

Run(@ComSpec & ' /k "del ..\Password\New\*.txt"', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)

so place a ";" in front of that line to "comment-out" that line.. like this

;Run(@ComSpec & ' /k "del ..\Password\New\*.txt"', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)

hope that helps... see the tutorial... it will help also ( in my signature below)
