Help with Run() and quotes...

[JSThePatriot]

BTW for any of those that want to refer me to FAQ 9 then please dont because I have been there and that code doesnt even work.

Here is my code...

$xpath = "C:\Program Files\Axon Data\AxCrypt\AxCrypt.exe"
$path = "C:\Documents and Settings\The Vortex\My Documents\riseordie.txt"
$password = "pass"

Run('"' & $xpath & ' -e -k ' & "'" $password & "'" & ' -J ' & "'" & $path & "'" & '"','',@SW_HIDE)

Basically that is going to run like this... (this is how it works in the windows run box)

"C:\Program Files\Axon Data\AxCrypt\AxCrypt.exe" -e -k "pass" -J "C:\Documents and Settings\The Vortex\My Documents\riseordie.txt"

You really made a mess with the quotes.

Here's how it should be:

$xpath = "C:\Program Files\Axon Data\AxCrypt\AxCrypt.exe"
$path = "C:\Documents and Settings\The Vortex\My Documents\riseordie.txt"
$password = "pass"

Run('"' & $xpath & '" -e -k "' & $password & '" -J "' & $path & '"', '', @SW_HIDE)

I assume you tried this as well

run('"C:\Program Files\Axon Data\AxCrypt\AxCrypt.exe" -e -k "pass" -J "C:\Documents and Settings\The Vortex\My Documents\riseordie.txt"' , '', @SW_HIDE)

Also if you have quote problems you can use other substitutions.

$xpath = "C:\Program Files\Axon Data\AxCrypt\AxCrypt.exe"
$path = "C:\Documents and Settings\The Vortex\My Documents\riseordie.txt"
$password = "pass"
$run1="#" & $xpath & "# -e -k #" & $password & "# -J #" & $path & "#"
$run1=StringReplace($run1,'#','"'); replace # with "

run($run1 ,'',@SW_HIDE)

It executes in the same time(maybe a millisec slower) but if you can read it easy, it might be worth it.

Normally I remove the quotes from the first EXE, because I never seem to have a problem with it, try out this if the above fails ya:

run('C:\Program Files\Axon Data\AxCrypt\AxCrypt.exe -e -k "pass" -J "C:\Documents and Settings\The Vortex\My Documents\riseordie.txt"' , '', @SW_HIDE)

Appreciate the fast replies I will get back with on whether or not it works...
