hepo 0 Posted October 7, 2006 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xcal 4 Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) 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\*"') Edited October 7, 2006 by xcal How To Ask Questions The Smart Way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hepo 0 Posted October 7, 2006 @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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Kandie Man 5 Posted October 7, 2006 Run(@ComSpec & ' /k "D:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tgzip "\\server\arhive.zip" "\\server\folder\*"') No? "So man has sown the wind and reaped the world.

The Kandie Man 5 Posted October 7, 2006 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. "So man has sown the wind and reaped the world. Perhaps in the next few hours there will no remembrance of the past and no hope for the future that might have been." & _"All the works of man will be consumed in the great fire after which he was created." & _"And if there is a future for man, insensitive as he is, proud and defiant in his pursuit of power, let him resolve to live it lovingly, for he knows well how to do so." & _"Then he may say once more, 'Truly the light is sweet, and what a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun.'" - The Day the Earth Caught Fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
