Something Easy to Solve - Send a $var to cmd prompt

[hispeed_mike]

Hi,

Having trouble sending this variable as text to the command prompt window, thanks for the help

here is the code...

#include "ControlSendPlus.au3"

$var1 = InputBox("Machine ID", "Enter Machine ID ( EG: Computer Number 01 to 32")

Run (@COMSPEC)

Sleep (500)

ControlSendPlus ("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "", "", "mkdir c+;\PrintJob{ENTER}", 0)

Sleep(1000)

ControlSendPlus ("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "", "", "net use & $var1 &=c+;\Printjob{ENTER}", 0)

No problems sending the text but just problems with varaible just not being replaced with the sharename.

Thanks

Mike

Controlsend doesn't work with command prompt.

Try this

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'command', "", @SW_HIDE)

Hi,

I am using ControlSendPlus with command prompt, which works great. You will need the include to test. All I need to understand is how inside of a block of text that is needed to be sent do I declare the variable I input by the InputBox?

ControlSendPlus.au3

Just tried to break down the delivery of the $var1 to it own ControlSendPlus line and it works...

Thanks for the reply...Sorry I didn't think of this one sooner....
