kill process

[bobheart]

I want to run a small app that will kill a process but need to use a input box .

I have this but it is trying to run the name process and not the kill program .

What do I have wrong and how can I fix it ?

Dim $Process
$Process = InputBox("$Process", "Process to kill?", ".exe", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)
;Places the input box in the top left corner displaying the characters as they are typed.
if $Process then
Run(@ComSpec & " /k pskill.exe & $Process & ")
else 
    Exit
EndIf

There are quotes around the entire string in the Run() command.

Wouldn't it be easier to use ProcessClose()?

[bobheart]

I'll give that a try , I forgot about it . lol

[bobheart]

Same thing ? what do I have wrong here Valik .. I think I need to see how it is done then I will get it . lol

Dim $Process
$Process = InputBox("$Process", "Process to kill?", ".exe", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)
ProcessClose("$Process")
MsgBox(4096, "Test", $Process, 10)

Don't use quotes around variables.

Still can't get it to work ?

Dim $Process
InputBox($Process, "Process to kill?", ".exe", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)
ProcessClose($Process)
MsgBox(4096, "Test", $Process, 10)

InputBox($Process, "Process to kill?", ".exe", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)
ProcessClose($Process)
MsgBox(4096, "Test", $Process, 10)

Did you check the value of $Process? with this code it will be ""/blank/empty.

The result of an InputBox should be infront of an equal sign....

$answer = InputBox("Question", "Where were you born?", "Planet Earth", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)

[bobheart]

So your saying it should look like this ?

InputBox("Process to kill?:, $Process, ".exe", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)

[Jos]

So your saying it should look like this ?

InputBox("Process to kill?:, $Process, ".exe", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

no... thats not what i am saying.

why did you change the below line that was in the previous version?

$Process = InputBox("$Process", "Process to kill?", ".exe", "", -1, -1, 0, 0)
