Pausing Run()


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi once again!

I couldn't find anything about this... so is it possible to give Run() function a pause command, just like if I'd use .bat with PAUSE in the end of the file. I have a little start-gui for my java program, which ofcourse opens a cmd-promt window when started. But something goes wrong and the cmd window just disappears instantly and I'd like to see if my java program gives some errors to the cmd-prompt. Is it possible or do I just have to use a .bat to test my run parameters. I wouldn't like to use bat, because I'd need to reconstruct my command from @scriptdir/@windir etc. to .bat and back...

Thx,

Lassi

PS. Oh gosh... I tried "cmd /?" and found out that you can use "Run( @comspec & " /K ...." )". Maybe someone will have this problem and can find it with search... Sorry for bothering you =/

Try RunWait(@Comspec & "bla..bla..bla") and IIRC don't use the /c switch when testing.

RunWait(@Comspec & " bla.bat") only opens the cmd-prompt... Run(@Comspec & " /C bla.bat") runs the bat... Run(@Comspec & " /K bla.bat") runs the bat and pauses cmd-prompt, so I can see what the bat did (and this is what I want)... There's only one problem: using /K messes up the "" quotes badly. Like you can't use ( @comspec & " /K " & @scriptdir & "\bla.exe " & "-windowed" ) IF @scriptdir has spaces in it... without the "-windowed" parameter it works perfectly though...

FileGetShortName(@ScriptDir) & "\bla.exe -windowed" should take care of that.

Oh, cool! Didn't know that one... I managed to get it working by using double quotes ("") which isn't as nice to read. This one looks pretty awful:

Run( @ComSpec & ' /K ""' & _CheckJavaPath("Java Runtime Environment\", $JAVA_CD_DIR) & '" -jar "' & @ScriptDir & '\bla.jar"' & " -param1 -param2 " & '"' & @ScriptDir & '\usethis.file""', @ScriptDir)

Though my _CheckJavaPath-function returns the long name and should be altered too, and that means too much work!

But I'll use FileGetShortName(@ScriptDir) in the future. Thx!

When your strings get that ugly, use StringFormat().

$string = StringFormat( @ComSpec & ' /K "%s" -jar "%s\bla.jar" -param1 -param2 "%s\usethis.file"', _CheckJavaPath("Java Runtime Environment\", $JAVA_CD_DIR), @ScriptDir, @ScriptDir)

Run($string, @ScriptDir)
