ProcessExists ?

[abhi]

All,

I am trying to launch a .BAT file from an autoit exec(the autoit exec itself is being launched from a Java program) in the following manner

$var4 designates the BAT file I want to invoke and

$var5 designates the log file where I want to route the BAT file generated stdout

...

$pid=Run($var4 & " >> " & $var5 & " 2>&1","",@SW_HIDE)

...

I want the autoit exec to wait until the called BAT file finishes execution. I understand RunWait() is meant exactly for that. However when I use RunWait() instead of Run(), the output never gets routed to the log file

..

RunWait($var4 & " >> " & $var5 & " 2>&1","",@SW_HIDE)

..

Consequently I have tried to use Run() and ProcessExists() such that I pass the PID returned by Run to ProcessExist()

I was hoping that ProcessExists might do the trick but unfortunately it results in the same. Log file not getting any output :">

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Does $var4 contain @comspec ?

Also try to play with $STDERR_CHILD, $STDIN_CHILD & $STDOUT_CHILD.

It does contain @Comspec.

I've used ProcessWaitClose before, logging the output just as you do, and it works, try to pass the return from the Run statement to it, and use ProcessWaitClose to pause until it's done.
