Encryption product help

[msuttle]

Hello everyone. I have looked through the forums and came to the conclusion that this is an awesome piece of software. I need help with making a script for an encryption product...it should be rather simple.

It is a dos program...lets call it "encrypt.exe". The problem I have is you can pass everything to the program except the password for decrypting a file. So all I need to do is run the dos commands and then when it ask for the password (in the dos window) autoit would type it in hit enter and close the dos window...sounds pretty simple.

So i know the code would start something like:

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c encrypt blah blah filename")

But I do not yet know how to pass something like this in dos...windows gui examples look pretty easy. I hope this question makes sense...and thanks for the help in advance.

Just use the exe name; runwait or run doesn't care if it's a windows or a DOS program.

Thanks martin. Like I said that function is not the problem. I do not know how to make auto it type in the password and close the dos window when completed. That is the main issue.

Send

WinClose

WinWaitActive

Look up the functions above in the helpfile, I believe that's what you need.

Thanks everyone. Got it running with the following code:

Run('"C:\Program Files\-----\filename.exe" decrypt filename)

WinWait('blah')

Sleep(2000) ;two seconds

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 200) ;200 milliseconds

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 5) ;5 millisecond

Send('password{ENTER}')

Winclose('Select C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe')

Now I just need to specify a varible for the filename is it well be different everyday. Any advice on this would be cool.

Variables are defined with a $ sign before it, and set equal to some value.

$sFileName = "myfile.exe"
oÝ÷ Ù.q©ÚuØ­¶¬¶¸§Ê'q«^«^ºÈ§Ø^jj^®Æ§u©©jëh×6
Run( "C:\progra~1\" & $sFilename )
; the above would try to run "c:\progra~1\myfile.exe"
