eidolon74 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I am sure it is simple, but I can't find the problem. Here's the script: Runwait(@COMSPEC & '/c "hl7.log"') Here's the error --------------------------- AutoIt Error --------------------------- Line 59 (File "C:\Documents and Settings\keithdavenport\Desktop\hl7imp4.au3"): Runwait(@COMSPEC & '/c "hl7.log"') Error: Unable to execute the external program. The system cannot find the path specified. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- I appreciate any and all help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 (edited) you need a space before the /c Runwait(@COMSPEC & ' /c "hl7.log"') you need to tell it what to open a .log file with Runwait(notepad.exe "hl7.log"') or try using start Runwait(@COMSPEC & ' /c start "hl7.log"') Edited June 30, 2004 by emmanuel "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmanuel Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 (edited) some questionswhich of those leaves you at the prompt?the /c should close the 'dos' window when the run proccess is complete, /k would leave it up, try that to see what the error waswhat type of file is the .log file and what are you trying to open it with? some people here open .log files with SAS, some use notepad, others use textpad. does typing "hl7.log" into the command prompt open the file like you want it to? that's what putting it after @comspec does.try setting the working dir to @scriptdir if the file you're trying to run is in the script dir, or set the working path to where the file is.what is your shoe size?what is the air-speed of a african swallow?what is your favorite color?

emmanuel Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 ok, so, I broke down and tested it. when you run @comspec /c it runs the command interpreter (cmd on 2k/xp) which will stay until the proccess you launch after it closes. so, the command window will be there until you close notepad. Starts a new instance of the Windows XP command interpreter CMD [/A | /U] [/Q] [/D] [/E:ON | /E:OFF] [/F:ON | /F:OFF] [/V:ON | /V:OFF] [ [/C | /K] string] /C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminatesso, just tell autoit to hide that command prompt run(@comspec & " /c n:\keys.log","",@SW_HIDE) if you use runwait, your whole script will pause until notepad is closed. why not just run("notepad file.log") ?

bobheart Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Although a definitive answer would of course require further measurements, published species-wide averages of wing length and body mass, initial Strouhal estimates based on those averages and cross-species comparisons, the Lund wind tunnel study of birds flying at a range of speeds, and revised Strouhal numbers based on that study all lead me to estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
