Variables replace

[DeepBlue 0]

Hello,

I'm a new AutoIT user and the forum search didn't get practicable results for me.

I want AutoIT to run %programfiles%\directory\application.exe

Certainly I have to use something with StringReplace but i didn't get it...

How does the command has to be?

Have you checked out the help file under the Run() Function and the @ProgramFilesDir Macro?

JS

[MHz 73]

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Directory\Application.exe")

@ProgramFilesDir is a builtin macro.

Does this help you?

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Directory\Application.exe")

@ProgramFilesDir is a builtin macro.

Does this help you?

Thanks! It works!

In this case it is useless, but if you'll need to read a windows set you should use:

Run(EnvGet('programfiles') & "\Directory\Application.exe")

Another alternative with the newest version of AutoIt:

Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 1)

Run("%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")

Actually this legacy Option (Autoit 2 like) it is there from lots of time...

Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 1)

That's a needful option, thanks!
