enter keystroke and @ComSpec

[A.B.Ames]

This may be wierd as but i'm trying to create a very small bat file from autoit and i thought that i could do it with RunWait(@ComSpec & Copy Con) command. But i can't seem to figure out how to create an enter keystroke as it needs a couple lines.

exg.

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /k" & "Copy Con c:\regowner\Cleanup.bat" & @CRLF & "LINE1" & @CRLF & "LINE2" & @CTLF & "LINE3")

any chance of getting an enterkey press in the middle where i put the @CTLF?

tried {enter} but i think thats only for the SEND command.

Thx For any assistance

Tried some things with your code but using that way is impossible.

Try this:

$OpenNewBatch = FileOpen("c:\regowner\Cleanup.bat", 2)
   FileWriteLine($OpenNewBatch, "LINE1")
   FileWriteLine($OpenNewBatch, "LINE2"
   FileWriteLine($OpenNewBatch, "LINE3")
FileClose($OpenNewBatch)

If you don't understand the functions, look them up in the help file.

Contains alot of info.

Many Thx SlimShady:

You sample helped me out greatly in understanding how the FileWrite with FileOpen works, runs great (and seems so simple now).

I had come across it and a few other ideas of doing this but being new to this wasn't sure which was best and couldn't get it figured out right, Thanks for clearing it up.

Though i was also curious as to if a Enter keystroke could be applied inside a line but it appears not.

Again, many thx

Also can just writeline:

FileWriteLine("c:\mybat.bat","del c:\mybat.bat" & @crlf & "dir c:\")

use @crlf for returns in files.

@Slim forgot a )

$OpenNewBatch = FileOpen("c:\regowner\Cleanup.bat", 2)
  FileWriteLine($OpenNewBatch, "LINE1")
  FileWriteLine($OpenNewBatch, "LINE2") 
  FileWriteLine($OpenNewBatch, "LINE3")
FileClose($OpenNewBatch)

Many thx too scriptkitty:

Sorry for delay in responding was trying to get the script done for a friend.

This seems to be what i was trying to do but I did all the wrong ways. Didn't realize you could write to a file like this without having to open it in notepad or use DOS via ComSpec.

and helps me more understand the FileXxx abilities.

Again, Many Thx
