How to run a variable

[dancer58]

Can someone help me run $sCmd instead of:

$sCmd = Run('e:\backups\imagex_gui\imagex.exe /info e:\backups\test2.wim ', '', @SW_HIDE, 2)

$sCmd is the equivalent of:

e:\backups\imagex_gui\imagex.exe /info e:\backups\test2.wim

I've looked but am so new to programing that nothing makes sense

Thanks

Func DoInfo()

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=

$InfoGUI = GUICreate("InfoGUI", 666, 444, 300, 222)

$Edit10 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 40, 56, 600, 300)

$Gobtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("go", 200, 410, 81, 25, 0)

$exitbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("exit", 300, 410, 81, 25, 0)

Perhaps with this?

$sCmd = '"' & @ScriptDir & '\imagex.exe"'
If $gInfoCheck = 1 Then $sCmd = $sCmd & " /check"
If $gInfoBoot = 1 Then $sCmd = $sCmd & " /boot"
If $gInfoFlags <> "" Then $sCmd = $sCmd & ' /flags "' & $gInfoFlags & '"'
$sCmd = $sCmd & ' /Info "' & $gInfoSource & '"'
ConsoleWrite("Debug: $sCmd = " & $sCmd & @LF)

$PID = Run($sCmd, '', @SW_HIDE, 2)

Do
    $data &= StdoutRead($PID)
Until @error
ProcessWaitClose($PID)
GUICtrlSetData($Edit10, $data, 1)

you should remember that in a variable you can put only 1 certain datatype at a time ..

if it's a string(the actual command), you can't insert a function (run) on top.

if you want a variable to contain an object (when you use set) and you insert anything else than an object, your interpreter will error on that too..

Thanks to all that helped me.

I assume everyone knows I was modifying ImageX_Wrapper. I have found this way I can learn and modify a program to suit me at the same time. I think it will be a long while before I get at all effeciant as a programmer

Thanks again for the help

If anyone wants the modifyed version I would be glad to post it.

I do have one question. I will use this on PEBuilder but I found that I could not do a mount. It works from XP but not from PEBuilder. It really doesn't need to but I like everything to work

I'm sure some of you can identify with this (:

Just had another error: Fatal Error box Avector: Out of bounds This has happened on several tabs

I am using version 3.2.5.2 beta

never had this with old version
