Need Help :)

[hepo]

Hello,

I' am trying to run dos commands and have problem with puting " in paths.

I' am doing something like this:

Run("cmd.exe" & " /k" & ""D:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"" & "a" & "-tgzip" ""\\server\arhive.zip"" & ""\\server\folder\*"")

I' am getting this

'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

When I run only this

Run("cmd.exe" & " /k" & ""D:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"")

It's all good.

Help please

Why are you cutting this all up in to pieces if you're not using a variable?

""D:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"" & "a" & "-tgzip" ""\\server\arhive.zip"" & ""\\server\folder\*""

Anyway, I think you're supposed to be using @comspec for this sort of stuff.

edit -

Maybe something like...

Run(@ComSpec & ' /k D:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe a -tgzip "\\server\arhive.zip" "\\server\folder\*"')

@comspec is a system variable to cmd.exe - it's the same thing.

You'r way returns the same error.

I'll try with variables.

Thanks.

Run(@ComSpec & ' /k "D:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tgzip "\\server\arhive.zip" "\\server\folder\*"')

Sometimes i have problems like this as well. Try writing the command line to a bat file via FileWriteLine(). Once you do that, have autoit run the bat file and then the bat file will run the program that you want to run.

The help file explains the pairing of " and ' to get around your problem when passing parameters to the run command line.
