Execute("program.dat")

[Ibrahim]

i'm doing a program that would read output from the UI of another program. What i want is to completely hide the other program thus i hide its icon tray,its window and its title BUT i need to hide the file name so help me do it so i can run it like this ---->run("TheProgram.dat")

Hi once again,

#include <Constants.au3>

Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 0)

$DatFile = "x:\PathToYourDatFile\yourfile.dat"

If FileExists($DatFile) Then
    $Pid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'assoc .dat', @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
    $DatAssoc = StdoutRead($Pid)
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'assoc .dat=exefile', "", @SW_HIDE)
    Run($DatFile, "", @SW_SHOW)
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'assoc ' & $DatAssoc, "", @SW_HIDE)
EndIf

Cheers

Beside programming code, this idea is hot for all things else i can assoc other files as well adn execute even a jpg photo WOW

[Ibrahim]

can i add a tiny miny problem ?-- the program runs and the @sw_hide not working do i did the winwait() and Winsetstate() stuff with a delay 0 millisecond in the OPT() thing, so i need to completely hide it from the view as it's now flashes before hiding

[smashly]

What program is it that you are trying to run hidden?

[Ibrahim]

WinArpAttacker

[Ibrahim]
