jgshier Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Kinda a newbee to this, I am trying to call a program from an ini file. I can't seem to call just Run('"' & $gamelaunch & '"') as the programs path seems to be screewed up. So i am trying to work with the working directory. ini looks like this [games] games=FootBall [FootBall] Type=Image GameImage=\\turningpoint\images$\Backyard Football 2006 - Everyone\Backyard Football 2006.iso GameLaunch=C:\Games\Backyard Football 2006\BYFB2006.exe GamePath=C:\Games\Backyard Football 2006\ The part of the script I am having problems with is this $inigameinfo = IniReadSection($inifile,$s_text) if @error Then MsgBox(4096,"","An Error occured, can't find game in ini file.") Else $isopath = $inigameinfo[2][1] $gamelaunch = $inigameinfo[3][1] $gamepath = $inigameinfo[4][1] run('"C:\Program Files\Daemon Tools\daemon.exe" -unmount 0') sleep(2000) run('"c:\program files\Daemon Tools\daemon.exe" -mount 0,"' & $isopath &'"') GUICtrlSetData($Status,"Mounting Image") sleep(5000) ;msgbox(0,"debug",'"' & $gamepath & '"') ****** This shows the right path ;run('"' & $gamelaunch & '"', "C:\Games\Backyard Football 2006\") ***** This works run('"' & $gamelaunch & '", "' & $gamepath & '"') ****** This does not GUICtrlSetData($Status,"Done") Endif On the run that is dynamic, I get "The Directory Name is invalid", Not sure why I also tried Run(AddQuote($gamelaunch), AddQuote($gamepath)) Func AddQuote ($sStr) If StringLeft($sStr,1) <> chr(34) then $sStr = chr(34) & $sStr If StringRight($sStr,1) <> chr(34) then $sStr = $sStr & chr(34) Return($sStr) Endfunc With no luck. What am I doing wrong?
evilertoaster Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) run('"' & $gamelaunch & '", "' & $gamepath & '"') I don't know why you need the extra quotes...(although i dont think it should matter) Try run($gamelaunch, $gamepath) just for kicks... Edited June 20, 2006 by evilertoaster
jgshier Posted June 21, 2006 Author Posted June 21, 2006 run('"' & $gamelaunch & '", "' & $gamepath & '"') I don't know why you need the extra quotes...(although i dont think it should matter) Try run($gamelaunch, $gamepath) just for kicks... Tried that, same thing, I am using the extra quotes, because the spaces in the path. Where if I where to hard code it it would be "C:\Games\Backyard Football 2006\".
jgshier Posted June 21, 2006 Author Posted June 21, 2006 Got it to work, Run('"' & $gamelaunch & '"', $gamepath) It's like the working directory does not need the quotes.
